We are exfiltrating Base Camp Akenback Acres in about ten mikes. Should be passing through Hotlanta around 8 pm GA time. The boss lady is in the Dakota so she can take one passenger. Swiss has my number and can call me. Driving through the airport in the circus wagon is not an option but if...

When it was 35 below zero in Korea we just let the HEMMTs run when we were out in the field. You do not want to try and crank a V-8 Driptroit when it is real cold. I have seen civy truck drivers put cut down oil drums under them with burning diesel to get them started.

Theft has never been a problem at the GA Rally. We are all good honest folks and the civilians see all the military gear and assume that getting caught stealing would result in a firing squad.
The only thing that ever went missing from my AO was a box of homemade cookies that the...

So.....will we get to see this restored beast at the GA Rally?
You can't have more fun without taking off your britches.
Come join the madness and meet the some of the kooks that inhabit this site.
Good folks, fantastic array of military vehicles and great food.
The madness has...

I hadn't thought about that. If I reverse the axle the steering box would be behind the bed.....but then it might be high enough interfere with the turning of the trailer. Maybe it could be mounted upside down under the frame.
This is why I don't do much design and modification...

I'm bringing all of them and they ain't coming back with me.
Some of them may have came from the shower unit I bought. I think they are 6-8 feet long with couplers on both ends. At least one of them came from an M49 tanker truck I scrapped out. I'm bringing the heater and...
When I swapped out the rear axle on the M923A2 I bought I removed the CTIS. I got the plugs that go in the axle housing at a place that makes hydraulic hoses. You have to plug both sides of the axle and seal off the main line that runs to the manifold on the axle itself.
I bought extra plugs, if...
More stuff.
Pics 1-4 is a small alternator. 14 volt, no idea what it's off of. I have 10 and will make someone a deal on all of them or 50 bucks each.
5 is tie rod ends, no idea what they are from, got a butt load and will sell them all for a song.
6 is misc rubber hoses. 5 bucks a pop.
7 is...
Here are some things I found while scrounging around the compound.
Pic 1 and 4 are from a 5 ton. Not sure if it's a 800 series or earlier. 20 bucks
Pic 2 and 3 are a deuce J pipe and a set of mud flaps from a 900 series dropside bed. J pipe sold.
Pic 5 is a set of rails from some type of...

A truck with a dump bed is like a Stay Free Maxi Pad.......not the best thing in the world, but right up there next to it.:mrgreen: [thumbzup]

I noticed the steering cylinder sits above the frame so it would interfere with a bed unless I raise the height of the bed (thus raising the center of gravity of an already tall truck).
The fluid lines would have to be plumbed all the way back to the rear steering cylinder. Prob be...
