Welcome to Steel Soldiers!! :-) Clinto is another great resource. He's a self-proclaimed Deuce Doctor in Athens Georgia. He may know of a nice Deuce that needs a loving home.

Thanks, Tracer. It's all for my wife. She chose to love me, for better or for worse. She puts up with A LOT. OD Fever is a SERIOUS illness, and the ramifications stretch far beyond the vehicles and parts in the garage. :cookoo: Having her precious Mite rebuilt is the least I can do to show her...

The latest update from Doc: This has been a VERY HOT HUMID summer with A LOT of rain, which makes any progress on the Mite exponentially harder. The average temperature is 95, and the heat index hovers around 110. Doc spent hours fighting with the master cylinder. He bled the brakes out 8...

I just saw your thread. I'm sorry I missed it. I have a bunch of questions, all of which are stated to help me learn about your situation. Do you have a M422 or a M422A1? Is it running and driving without issue? Why would you want to modify the leaf springs? What reasons do you have for making...

Dang. I could really use those parts but I'm in Central FL. :-( Would you be willing to work with me? Maybe the Steel Soldiers Express could help. I will send you a PM with my phone number.

Great find!!! [thumbzup] 8)

Did you save the old radiator? It looks like it could be repaired / re-cored. Do you know a good radiator shop in your area?

Do you know any local Steel Soldiers brethren that has the equipment and the willingness help you move the bridge truck?

My advice, take it or leave it. Start calling museums. Find out if anyone wants the boat. If you get a bite, you can donate the boat with the agreement that they will remove it from its current location by the end of September. Use the donation as a tax write-off for you personally or for your...

Shortly after I bought my M1009, I needed to use it to haul my 5' x 8' Haulmark enclosed trailer. I picked up a military trailer wiring plug with 3' of wire on it. I asked my wife to get in the driver's seat and turn on the 4 way flashers, brake lights, parking lights, left and right blinkers. I...

Welcome from Central FL!! I have a couple ounces of advice for you. Join the First FL Chapter MVPA and get a hold of Fred Perkins' crew in SE FL. Fred is a great guy with a lot of resources. Black paint on any vehicle in FL is brutally HOT. My wife's 2005 Tahoe PPV is black. She LOVES the...

Alice - Welcome to the best forum in the world for people that have been bitten by the OD Iron bug!!!! :driver::jumpin::clinto::naner: :mrgreen: [thumbzup] :cookoo: I see that you have a full-fledged case of OD Fever. Unfortunately, there is no cure. There is no 12 step program. The illness...

THANK YOU!!!!! :clinto:

You do absolutely amazing work, Lindsay!!! :drool::jumpin:[thumbzup] I still have an M1009 that need some love. Would it be possible for you to work a few miracles on my CUCV when the weather cools off?

Subscribed. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with your new acquisitions!!! :-) If I could make one suggestion: Try to find a home for the boat before moving it, and move it once. A second relocation is guaranteed to cost you a lot more time and money.

It looks like you'll need a wrecker to remove the wrecked wrecker bed and boom. Then you'll need to use the wrecker to pull the wrecker bed and boom from the wrecked wrecker, and install it on the unwrecked wrecker!!!! :cookoo: rofl:mrgreen::naner::clinto::jumpin:

My advice, take it or leave it: It's worth its weight in scrap metal less transportation costs to get it to the scrapyard. Save your time and gas money. Don't bother making the trip to look at that abomination.

Beastmaster has a point. I have a crazy thought for you, Floridianson. Can you turn your 3600 mile journey into a Steel Soldiers Express run? There might be some members in our area that might need something transported across the country. [thumbzup]

That is exactly what I was eluding to, porkysplace. Guess I should have been a little more clear. Taking a ferry from Seattle to AK would allow the OP to take whatever legal self defense tools that he desires, provided that he abides by the rules and regulations set fourth by the ferry...

Bring a high quality can of bear repellent spray. Get custom molded ear plugs to save your hearing. Long trip + high dB = hearing loss. Buy a couple seat cushions and lumbar supports to save your back and backside. Bring a couple pairs of wraparound sunglasses. I like the tinted Z87.1 safety...
