    ww2 jeep stolen

    What chaps my arse about situations like this is that even if they catch the bung holes that did it they will get a slap on the wrist and the victim will have to pay for any damage the morons inflicted. What this country needs is a justice system that exacts payback from the criminals in the...

    Tire won't take air M35A3

    Are you sure the air is not escaping through the O ring that seals the two halves of the rim together. I had the same issue with one of the wheels on my M927.....it would leak down over a few days but I could air it back up. You could not hear the air escaping but once the tire shop took it...

    M49 Question

    I scrapped one out a few years ago......I think the tank with all ferrous metal stripped off weighed out at around 1200 pounds.

    Just wondering if it exists - bumper tire mount

    Mount a standard deuce/5 ton mount on the tailgate. When the tailgate is down the tire is ready to deploy. You might have to have a small hand mounted winch (think boat trailer winch) on the side of the bed to raise the tailgate when there is a tire on it (Especially a super single). The...

    ***Fraud Warning***

    Thank you for posting this.....there are far too many scammers out there and too few ways to police them. Mass executions would be my solution but then again I'm a cruel, right wing conservative that don't understand that lazy, dishonest people have the right to "take from the rich". Maybe...

    Hello from the Sandpile...

    I have bought over a hundred vehicles from GL since 2008 and it is always a crap shoot as to what you will actually get once you are cleared to pick up. If you are only going to buy one truck go with a private seller. You can look at the truck, drive it and make sure it's what you want. You...

    5ton gotcha's in NM?

    If you get a CDL you may need a DOT Physical. I renewed my CDL last month and within a week I had a letter from the DVM that said if I did not send a copy of my DOT physical to them within 15 days they would suspend my license. Did they tell me that at the Drivers License Offices...

    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    I have managed to build a decent working relationship with the GL folks down there but as Ron stated it's not GL's real estate. I wanted to go the first week in September but Honeywell shot that down and we fell back a week. When I followed the first sale I knew that if there was no one on the...

    New guy here, thinking of buying a CUCV

    My old unit had a Brigade at Shelby that ran the Mobilization Center down there.....I suspect it was run hard and put up wet unless it was some Sgt. Major's assigned vehicle. Our Observer/Controllers drew vehicles from the Mississippi National Guard and were not kind to them.

    Hello from the Sandpile...

    Deep South guy and gals

    Jeff.....if it doesn't conflict with the GA Rally I will try to make it. It would give me a chance to go thru your junk pile again. The museum out at Shelby would be a great place to meet.

    There is one at Redstone that they are using for a jump truck......it's been run hard and put up wet but at some point in time it will go on the block. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot Hungarian.

    I can provide power steering CHEAP & RELIABLE

    If you make up a supply of kits and bring them to the GA Rally in Oct. you would prob do a land office business. You could also do a demonstration on how to install it.

    Deuce trailer build thread

    What am I missing....why not use the donor deuce frame and just add metal to it as needed......already the correct height to line up with the drive shaft on the towing vehicle. A lot less fabbing would be needed IMHO. Ref the drive shaft why not have a quick disconnect like you would have on...
