Name that Dork! Who is that enormous Dork sitting on the back of the one ton waving his arms and legs in the air? Wait a minute..... that's , that's.... Who is that good looking young Sergeant skilfully guiding the M561 onto the trailer? What style, what grace, what a shave and deboner...

This is just unbelieveable! I posted my request for help shortly before midnight on a Saturday evening. I'm not sure I expected a reply at all, never mind two replies within a couple of hours. Gimpyrobb, thanks for the offer to look for me but it's no longer necessary. Blackdog's reply with the...

Well, I really did try to search the SS site to find the answer to this one but to no avail. One of my trucks has Bosch headlamp assemblies with 24 volt 75/70 watt H4 bulbs in it. They are incredibly brighter than the headlamps on my deuce or 5-ton. I was fiddling about with the H4 assembly and...

Johnny in 'his' M1009 I thought this photo of Johnny in his M1009 was appropriate.

test, do not panic

RE: Must Read! Hurricane Katrina Well guys, I guess it’s time to give you all an update on how Sarge is doing…. I actually thought about this for a couple of months because I was not sure about putting this story out on the Internet. I feel like enough of the guys on Steel Soldiers have become...

Bruce, I sure do love the 900 series trucks. I drove them thousands of miles, from England to Italy, from Spain to Poland. I have to say, you are a better man than I. One look at the before pictures, that's all it took. I would have given up right there. All those parts missing! All that...

I had exactly the same problem in 1995. I was driving through Wales (on my way from Ireland to Cornwall) towing an M416 with a Wrangler Jeep. Everything was fine until 80mph. Then the trailer started to sway violently from side to side. It was so violent that the back tires on the Jeep were...

5 ton super singles? With internal double beadlocks? Are these for sale? How much?

Welcome! Marine? You are in the right place. I have had the MV disease since childhood. This site is the best resource I have found to date. And believe me, I've looked everywhere. The answers to 99% of your questions can be found here. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask. Does...

That is a lot of moolah for a M1008/M1009; BUT; Ted is one of the good guys. All of my dealings with him have been very positive. If he tells you that the truck is in so-and-so condition, you can take it to the bank. Although they are expensive, he has done a lot of work on them and you will get...

Ooops, one thing I forgot, can anyone explain to a computer idiot how to post pictures?

Bugei, so you got a quote on Uship.com from Ranger5183? I also got a quote from his company. It was an alright quote, not too cheap, not too expensive. I normally don't badmouth anybody unless they've screwed me over personally. Then I will badmouth him to his face before telling others. I will...

Well, now it's nut cutting time. Gawd, that expression makes me cringe. Today is Friday the 6th of July, on Sunday me and two buddies are off to Phoenix. One of my buddies owns a one ton diesel dually and a 22' trailer. All those years of helping people move stuff with my various trucks and...

Literally; DEVIL DOG = TEUFEL HUND Too easy! -Sarge

Well, it was a tragedy, although it was an avoidable tragedy, which is of little solace to the family of the dead passenger and the families of the injured. I can help a little with the translation because I lived in Germany for 22 years, coincidentally; I lived in the Eifel region and hung out...

RE: shipping Well, thanks to the above advice, I found a website called UShip.com that uses hot-shot haulers. I had never heard of a hot-shot hauler before. I have put out my shipping request and am waiting for replies. As far as using a 1-ton and a trailer, if I had one, I would already be on...

Hello Will, yes the goat runs fine. I'm not sure it would run fine for a thousand miles though. It's 1000 miles one way. I have used a Landoll before, they are fantastic, but maybe overkill for this job. Also, I'm pretty cheap and looking for a cheap solution. I do appreciate your advice. The...

So, I was on E-Bay a couple of days ago and saw this Gamagoat. It was stunning! Without too much prior planning I bid on it and won. Oh Crap! Did I mention it was stunning. So, anyhoo, it is in Phoenix and I am in Austin. I would very much like my Gamagoat to join me in Austin. Any advice or...

Thanks for the fast reply! Sorry I can't chat right now, I have to go to Harbor Freight. Yippee! more toys. -Sarge
