    Perfect Parade Day - Traffic Stop - Long

    I'm curious how long that little adventure took. It sounds like you were definitely detained. What was their probable cause? I would've thought a quick check of registration, license & insurance would be enough to demonstrate the absence of any problem. This story is a great example of why...

    Trailer buying advice needed

    Hey, Mike Pop - those Firestones you have on your M101, what model are they? You're running tubes & flaps, right? Can you slap any 16" radial on? I've been contemplating what to do with my trailer, and I really like your solution. I'm interested in a street-friendly, low-cost tire/tube combo for...

    towing a m101a1 with civvy truck

    What do you intend to do with your trailer? Will it be a home utility trailer, always pulled behind your civvy truck(s)? Or will you be getting a deuce, CUCV, etc.? By way of example, I don't anticipate that I'll have a mil truck anytime in the foreseeable future, and I want the trailer for...

    bad a$$ r/c b29

    How about "those guys" can fly, since the X-1 & B29 had different pilots. That was awesome. How much spare time and money does it take to be able to do that, I wonder?

    Trailer pick up in Eastern PA?

    I think we're going to Scranton, but not by the 19th. We'd be up there the following weekend. Do you know what shape the trailer is in? I'd have to haul it 2.5 hours (at highway speed - longer for towing) down to York, and I don't want to haul a dicey trailer. I only have a Jeep Cherokee, so...

    Me, My Wife, Mud, Rain, and Tires

    Dang, that tire is about as big as she is! That's just awesome. A job so ridiculously dirty and difficult it's just funny. Hope the truck got clean alright.

    Duo-Deuce Pick-up from GL -very long.

    Hey, that's awesome. I'm in York, too, and I also have an M101 I got from Chambersburg. I haven't got it legal yet, so I'd be happy to have you PM or email me your advice. I've neither the room, the time, nor the money for a deuce, but I'd probably like having one. If I see you around town...

    suggestions for wiring up trailer lights?

    I won't be running 24v. I like the Gamma Goat lamps. I found some cheap generic trailer lights that look about the same from a distance, and they bolt right in, so that's what I'm putting on. Not sure where to find the GG fixtures, and I'm pretty sure they're not in the budget this year...

    BigMike's deuce gets finishing touches

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: BigMike Just for cruel curiosities sake, roughly how many man-hours are in this attractive product?

    suggestions for wiring up trailer lights?

    I'm thinking about what to do with the lights on my M101 trailer. I want it to be a functional work trailer, without hacking or losing too much of the military accessories. My trailer has the older light fixtures, with the smaller main red light in back. I've thought about keeping these...

    Wisconsin allegedly cancelling Military vehicle titles.

    Given that this has happened in two states now, folks elsewhere should take more than a passing interest. It doesn't seem out of line to expect this to pop up more. Perhaps we should lay the groundwork to prepare similar legislative efforts in all our home states? The Kansas model seemed to be...

    Max towing capacity of a M35?

    Slightly off topic? It's curious to me that the Deuce has the same towing weight rating as a Chevy Suburban. ;)

    GL watchers... What are the M35A3s selling for?

    Just curious, what's wrong with the A3s? Auto trans, super singles, CTIS (on the few I've seen) - what's not to love?

    2.5ton vs 5ton axles

    Spicer, your deuce is actually one of the ones I like best. I personally don't need the crane, but the rest of that setup is awesome. Cat 3208, mmmmm.

    2.5ton vs 5ton axles

    I love this thread. In my dreams, I have a deuce bobbed with 5-ton axles to maintain load carrying capacity and handle more power. Keep up the informative posts, I'm learning.

    Govliquidation Registered Letter

    Here's another thought on lobbying. You will get a generic form letter when you write your Representative or Senator. Your letter/email/fax will get the most cursory look from an intern, who looks up some relevant manner of shooting down your suggested action. Establish a relationship with...

    Govliquidation Registered Letter

    Re: RE: Govliquidation Registered Letter PLEASE get a scan of this letter, and post it somewhere where we can read it! Filing an EUC on a stupid old trailer is just an annoyance, but requiring vehicles to be destroyed is quite another thing. It's frankly unjustifiable.
