I was offered a deuce for $4000.00 today. :D I cranked it and it is a "whistler turbo". The engine sounds good with no clatter, knocks, or excess smoke. It has a soft top, winch, and needs paint. The wood on the side racks is shot. The rear tires are fair to good but the front ones are dished...

Back when I was in my "survivalist" mode (you're not paranoid if they really are out to get you) I read a lot of survival rags and Mother Earth type magazines. I saw a low tech oil filer design in one of these mags. :idea: Basically you take a coffee type can and punch a buttload of holes in...

My last active duty assignment was in a truck company at Fort Stewart, GA. We had three PLS platoons and a HETT Platoon. I was a HETT driver but I got out before I got a lot of stick time. I then went into a Reserve HETT unit and put many miles on one. I was not impressed. They do have the...

To the best of my rusty recollection the 5200 series was a supply room issued lock. There was no "one key fits all" padlock. I think that in the case of arms rooms you could get a set of locks that could be opened by one key but they were special items. If there were two locks on your truck it...

That's one stud duck truck!!! 8) Lucky Jarheads!! :)

A HUMVEE is a military vehicle and a Hummer is a General Motors blow jo.........errr........never mind. :lol:

Thanks Ken. I have been in the Public Affairs arena since 1997 and haven't kept up to date on military transportation related issues. I know Freightliner was involved with the later trucks but not all the details.

Yep JH. It was (and may still be) the Army's line haul tractor. They didn't have a sleeper so the poor co-driver just sat over in the dummy seat and got his brains beat out. No air seat on that side. They had a short wheel base, no air ride suspension, and only held 110 gallons of fuel. It was...

Man.....ya gotta hate that. :shock: But that's what insurance is for. I have full coverage on the Duster. Good that no one was injured. :D How many lawyers stopped and gave the guy a card? :roll:

Points well taken. It's been a while since I drove a duece. :oops: I was speaking in the context of passing Grandpa on his daily Sunday drive on a two lane road (45 in a 55 zone). :roll: I live near a large recreational lake and the rubberneckers are toads-in-the-road on weekends and...

Clinto. Thanks for posting the pics. I hate that I missed the show but duty called and I saluted the flag and moved out. I am the senior NCO for my section and we have a big slice of the next mobilization. We prepare National Guard and Reserve soldiers to go to war at Camp Shelby, MS and...

Anybody running propane or giggle juice (nox) on a deuce or 5-ton? Thought it might be helpful if you needed to pass a slower vehicle.

I have seen 915's on the GL website but they were usually FUBAR. I just wondered if anybody had one in operating condition. :?: I once had the dubious pleasure of convoying from Fort Benning, GA to Fort Irwin CA in a 915. They had the 400 Comeapart and Cat 15 speed automatic in them and we...

It's kinda like a bizare cross between Trick My Truck and Pimp My Ride. :roll:

I been to three marrins', five buryins', two rodeos and a goat roping and I ain't seen nothin like that. :shock:

Well Folks it's "change 23" for me. :( I have just been informed that I have to attend a planning meeting Sat. morning. :shock: I should be out by 10 but thats 11 GA time. Its probably a 2 1/2 hour drive from B'ham. Thats around 3 PM. Probably everyone would be gone by then. :cry: Maybe I...

Will you be running on bio/SVO? Do you have contacts on your route for oil? Are you on some of the WVO forums (Frybrid, Greasecar)? You can find sources of oil by logging on and posting your route. Often you can get the fuel for free or for a small donation from other WVO minded folks. Just my...

Update on "Old Yeller". As of weekend before last he was still sitting on the hill looking out over the valley. :D I would still like to have it but a deuce is more practical. 8) Hawaii didn't mellow out the old lady....if I buy it I have to sleep with it. :shock:

What do you use for bait for M101's. :? What's the limit in MI? :?: Bet the old lady makes you clean them. :)

What he said!!!!!! 8)
