Lextreme, I understand your question. If you just want to keep the curious away and the low-end thieves (they are all low-end, but I'm talking about the really unsophisticated ones), just remove the (negative) dog-bone (battery cable) using a 1/2" wrench. It's a simple task. Lock one door...

Well, I have to humble myself and step-up and admit to the making the switch! However, unlike the Great CARNAC, I went the 50:50 route. 50% JATONKA and 50% WESTFOLK! I communicated with both John and Joseph and found them both to be such upstanding and outstanding individuals, I decided to...

I understand your point Maybe, don't think of them as "rules" per se... Just some friendly suggestions that might pay-off. :) I believe tha OP is just expressing his desire to see the responsible members of our MV hobby/community take time to consider what others see when we are...

Resurrecting this old thread for a little help... I ordered a set of canvas seat covers (4, covers both driver's "spring" style and passenger bench), for my truck. The main problem is the driver's seat-back. Since I'm re-covering one, I figured I would make everything match. The price was...

I see this is an old thread, but TWO things caught my eye. One, the above quote... (Since when does anyone have to be nice to Gimp :gimp: to get him involved with MVs and good times? He'll do it no matter what! Besides, everyone knows Doc is a heck of a nice guy!) :-D Second... 64c30's...

I like the idea. [thumbzup] It makes (common) sense. The only thing is, you are always going to have that 10%. That is something that I have learned and learned time and again. I had a Drill Instructor in the Marine Corps that preached it and preached it. You are ALWAYS going to have that...

I e-mailed him via his site a week or so ago. He replied and indicated that he is buried in work and a little back-logged. I have an order in with him as well. John is top-shelf and will take care of whatever it is, as quick as he can. Just try that e-mail provided above.

I remember a time several years ago when the 2 1/2 Ton truck was "disappearing" and it was just a little slow-down in turnover. I believe this time around though, it is due to actual availability. Maybe not, but it seems that the end will come at some point. It could be now. The ones I do see on...

Steve, You are right! Not a bad idea! It's funny, I live < 10 miles from the museum and have not been there to tour it in years! It is an amazing place! I remember when it was slated to be closed back during the Clinton era, but was saved! That was a close one!

Click on top left of map for full picture. Click on MAP to pick new viewing area. Don't miss going to full screen, it is well worth the effort.Be very careful where you go as you may get lost in one of the galleries and have to go back to the main map. This might be one of the most advanced...

:not worthy: O.K.! I believe I'll do just that!

I moved my deuce from her secure (weekends and after 6PM) outside storage lot (@ $45.00 per month and located 16 miles from my house), to an inside storage facility (barn) that is <1 mile from my house and only costs $25.00 per month. The owner provides "armed" security. Parking in my driveway...

Just remember, if someone here refers to you as "sick" or calls you a "sicky", it's a compliment! p.s. - You have the illlness. :mrgreen:

I'm just glad to see another Ohio member! Whatever you end up with, (OhioCummins), or however you end up with it, you are in good company. There are several members in your general area that will be able to assist with "the process" (of getting a truck). To avoid the "flack" of the forums...

Agreed! Also, goatijoe, if you peruse the "Paint and Bodywork" threads under "Restoration", you will really get an education on paint, paint matches, etc. Almost too much at times, but that goes with the territory. Paint and Bodywork - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite I just...

I hate to hear stories like that happening to soldiers, or anyone for that matter. Hence, the reason waterfowl hunters say, "Take 'em!" instead of "Duck!" when it is time to open fire. (Picture that for a moment).

YES! :gimp: No more :jumpin: when I see something I want and no more :cookoo: ideas on modifying something that I :drool: over in the first place! I'm keeping my head on straight and enjoying what I have. If I want something else, I'll save up and buy it. I learned a valuable lesson (that...

I often instructed (I never use the word "taught" because "to teach" requires one "to learn", and that did not always happen...), drivers to use appropriate verbiage when working around military vehicles. When acting as a ground-guide or assisting someone working on a large, heavy, dangerous...

These are true words of wisdom. I have always been an admirer of tanks. I wanted to get into "Armor" when I entered my first branch of the military. I evn inquired about it when I entered my second. Another wise individual told me this, "Everything about a tank is heavy, hard and hurts." "Do...
