    A Different Kind of M109 Conversion

    With Papa Bear we will have to make a keg mount in the M109 and plumb a tap out the side.....then ya'll can just pull up in the cart and drink straight from the spout.rofl

    GL says my accnt and my Dads are Duplicate Accounts!!!

    After 34 years of military service I understand the chain of command very well having been at most levels of it....Private, Section leader, Platoon Sgt, and Section NCOIC. I had dealt with GL Customer Service (an oxymoron if ever there was one) at all the low levels and got the run around and...

    Is it legal to acquire slave cables and surplus tires?

    Now that funny......I don't care who you are.rofl If you buy the NATO end cable be sure to get the adaptors....Murphy's law dictates that if you do not have them every truck you try to slave off will have the older two pin setup. A lot of trucks coming out of GL and GSA were never...

    It appears I just won a M750

    I used my expando for a mini-rally at the off road park near me.....it worked great and kept the rain off even with the sides expanded.....did leak a little due to dry rotted seals. The big surprise will come when you open her up.....I noticed there were no interior pics....when I opened mine...

    GL says my accnt and my Dads are Duplicate Accounts!!!

    Well....technically I was in Charge of the Public Affairs Section for a Division Headquarters in the Army Reserve. I answered directly to a two star general. I made it my business to resolve problems before the boss had to be called into it. If that makes me a pogue so be it. And a Congressional...

    Official 2010 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    Phil....that looks like an excellent route. Once we nail down the exact day I will coodinate with the local LEO and tell them our intentions so they won't be surprised when the "milita" parades through. Tony......I will give you a heads up a few days before I leave and we can convoy over...

    You have my truck!

    Bottom line is that your vehicle is worth what you personally feel it is worth to you. If you quote someone a rediculous price and they are willing to pay said price then that is what it is worth to them. My first deuce was a very nice winch truck that I got out of Ft. Jackson, SC........this...

    disabled passenger

    When I was an over the road driver I met a couple that rode together in a semi. She was in a wheel chair and he had a lift on a boom that was attached to the cab. He could pick her up and swing her into the cab through the passenger door. The boom and small electric hoist folded up and was...

    M818/ Cummins NA250

    A turbo is not necessarily going to give you a huge increase in power......the deuces were turbo'd to make them smoke less under load. It will cram more air into the cylinders and help you burn the extra fuel being fed to it. A 5 ton (or deuce for that matter) is never going to give you the...

    Wiring harness fit?

    The short answer is maybe......should have the same lights on the 101 as the 105 and the connections are universal among US vehicles.

    Ted's Trucks and Stuff in Dothan, AL has some HEMMT's. You might graft a HEMMT front end onto the rear unit. Ted is good folks but real proud of his stuff. '- Teds Trucks N Stuff Store - Military vehicles and parts, milirary surplus items'

    M818/ Cummins NA250

    Does it lag mechanically or is it just top speed? 5 tons are gearbound by tranny and rears.....on a good day a stock 5 ton would not make 60 MPH. You can turn a 250 up to 2300 RPM but you do so at your own peril. You will have to take the pump to a pump shop to have it reset unless you...
