    EUC's and DRMS

    Does that DOD always send a letter on EUC items? My deuce went thru within two weeks of the corrected EUC submission. I got the letter a couple days before I heard from GL. This time on an engine I won at the end of October I think I have not gotten anything from the DOD. GL says it is...

    Is this a members hmmwv? saw in virginia

    :ditto: If anything making making civilian ownership and carry being more visible is a good thing. VCDL (Virginia Citizens Defense League) has actually made some good progress in reining in local jurisdictions trying to enforce laws that don't exist pressing the issue when officers depart from...

    Jack

    Do any of you guys carry jack stands too? I usually don't trust hydraulics alone at home. I guess for changing a tire though you don't have to get under the truck as much.

    Jack

    Bottle jack with a couple short boards of 2x8 or similar wood. That is what I found in my deuce when I picked it up from military retirement. I have seen some double telescoping bottles that are real short for the lift...

    Found my first mv! Need transportation in california,

    Is there any reason you can't drive it? Assuming you it takes nothing more then some spot repairs 150miles is not too bad as they drive easily.

    5 ton vs. deuce offroad

    Well there were some earlier threads about which is better for a fire truck which has similar needs. The deuce does not have power steering, so enjoy your thumbs while you have them. The stock taller tires the 5ton has would be nice. It was also suggested that the extra power of the 5ton was...

    Turn signals don't work in Serv light position?

    Sierra I hope you just have a burned out bulb or such. If it turns out to be something more I might be able to help you out with some spares to try. I might be up in your area in between X-mas and New Years. Oh check out the wiring diagram in the link to the other thread I posted. It is...

    Is this a members hmmwv? saw in virginia

    I can see some officers getting a little excited about the 50cal, but this is Virginia not New York. The only law that I can think of with rifles is not to have it loaded in a vehicle. That is really a hunting law though as I can keep handguns loaded in a car loaded if visable as much as I...

    Turn signals don't work in Serv light position?

    Anyone out there? I hate to buy a new flasher unless it is needed. Does it make sense that on the bench the flasher appears to put out a steady light, but when on the truck I get flash when the combo switch is on the stop position? Oh I also noticed that when the flasher is working in the...

    Turn signals don't work in Serv light position?

    Well lucky I did not break the door. There was enough play in the drivers side glass to get a coat wire down to the handle and pull it. It looks like normally if you have the door opened with the door handle down in the locked position when you shut the door it unlocks it automatically...

    Turn signals don't work in Serv light position?

    Ok I spent part of the day checking lights and grounds on my deuce trying to get the turn signals to work when the serv position. I had no success other then finding out that it is possible to lock yourself out of a deuce. Something more to fix down the road. Certainly glad for the floppy...

    Fuel tank sending unit

    I am wondering what is up with Kcgonzo too. I bought stuff on Oct 19/20. He said he shipped about the Nov. 7th. Nothing showed. Now he is not returning emails after saying he would reship, and file with the post office. I have had two prior transactions with him that went very well, so this...

    Disc brakes on a deuce???

    I have only put about 400miles on my truck, but I have no lack of confidence in the amount of brake power the drums have. I would rather spend the upgrade time/money on a split system brake. I was wondering though if the drums are self adjusting or not?

    Pimp my ride - MV style...or lack thereof...

    If anyone goes by there to inspect this abomination please take a pic or two of the blazer that he stuffed the axles under. I have a feeling we should get a good laugh out of that one two.

    Titles & Virginia

    Well like all bureaucrats you have to remember to smile and be nice, because they can screw you over. Even when you want to reach over the counter and strangle them SMILE and tell them you like their dress. Oh and look trustworthy. Seriously though from what they said they would NOT just...

    24v Ration Heaters

    Can you fit any other foods in there? MREs are nice to have for emergencies, but not everyday. Oh and where can you plug one into a CUCV?

    Titles & Virginia

    Whoo hooo :driver: I got my three titles today. I think I am happier then when I actually picked up my vehicles. It took me about three hours and persistence, but I won. I even got them to credit my tax I paid to Pa. (If GL paid?) to cover my tax on these vehicles. They were reluctant on...

    46" XL's on a deuce

    Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: How they/you do dat? So if you have both on hand what is the actual diameters of the two different tires? I keep going back on forth on the big tires. They seem like too much, but I want to be able to do 60mph without maxing out the rpms.

    Titles & Virginia

    SierraHotel have you had any luck yet with your titling PITA? I got a call back from the titling department today saying that I should turn in the Affidavit in lieu of title along with a form 17(Regular title form), and the bill of sale. I hope the sales invoices signed by the site attendant...
