Hydraulics breaking I understand, my backhoe broke a swing hose and blew out fluid all over the fence line is was pulling. Luckily it below and facing away from me. A cable sounds like a better solution than a chain.

I like the idea of using the truck on the farm. I might have gone with a trailer feeding operation but with the HMMWV you can go places you won't be pulling a trailer. We own a small farm. Anyone with more than 1 acre needs a backhoe and a truck. It was the first thing (hoe). I got it a...

I have a newer trailer with a gate/ramp. To help raise and lower the gate/ramp they put a spring on one side. Works well and I check it often but it was pointed out that it could break and cause injury. I agree but I need a way to make safer. I could put a chain through it or a cable to try...

Yes, Clint can confirm but that was part of the LLC to reduce exposure.

I saw one for sale on a certain site. Yeah no, I'd rather have a supported new one and not Polaris. But that's me.

Thanks Dave

Did you guys forget one of our very own was in the TV series Containment? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4421578/ He had an uncredited part as the driver of the HMMWV and it is actually moving in the scene.

When I performed the function of rally commander I interviewed for the job with Clint at the National MVPA show in Louisville a few years. I gave him my thoughts on how to run it during the rally and he just did the leg work up to it. I got to Durhamtown a couple days before the "official"...

Did anyone ever post up or come up with a source for the M1101/1102 cover clips? I just won one by accident and would like a few.

While I appreciate the enthusiasm Chucky, but I didn't say I wanted to volunteer. I said I would offer advice. Holly also has planned events (no, she wont volunteer either) and she has an idea that I will share with person that steps up.

While I am not volunteering to take over the rally I can offer advice on certain things about the rally. I ran it twice under Clint's watchful eye but the was after the hard work was done and the rally at Windrock has morphed somewhat. If someone wants to do it contact me for advice if they...

I suspect after seeing them driving the streets of Baghdad the bumper was added to clean the street of vehicles. Because of the truck's high original bumper you run the risk of driving up onto something and getting slowed down or hung up. A poor soldiers snowplow for shoving cars out of the way.

That's why I was sad when they closed the WPAFB site. Turn right out of my driveway straight past the National Museum of the United States Air Force and a right turn and it was there on the left.

Everyone already suggested the easy ways. Starter, winch and a pickup truck. I have towed one with an M105 trailer attached to it with my 1500 RAM. Engine swap is easy or hard depending on how much you want to take out at once. You can pull the engine pack, just disconnect a couple lines and...

Cool that it's that old but not cool that it is that old as well. While I'm older than that and still work (mostly) I suspect a better place for that generator is the SEABEEs museum.

By stumbeled across do you mean you saw it somewhere or you bought it? I'm curious if it runs or the guages are just that far off. ;-)

Good looking truck, welcome to the site and buckle up for your journey.

Stevenson or Shown?

Welcome to the site.

A suggestion for the roof is to radius all four corners. I'm just looking at the picture and have already hit one with my forehead. ;-)
