Call Mark at 940-872-2403, if he doesn't answer (he's pretty much a one man operation) leave him a message and he'll call you back. He is a reputable business, I've been dealing with him for 20+ years. Cheers

My understanding of M715 history is that Jeep got around the military prohibition of company brands on vehicles by claiming the tailgate and other parts of the M715 family were stock civilian truck parts. I have been told by a couple of sources that after Jeep fell from grace with the...

Picked her up from the muffler shop this morning. They did a really nice job, very neat and tidy, dual pipes and mufflers tucked up under the bed. The exhaust comes out both sides behind the wheels. Next will be some more wiring, then off to the sandblaster to get that frame cleaned up before...

At some point, the M715 had been backed into a post or something that put a dent right in the middle of the tailgate top rail. This caused the top left side to be torqued out, making the tailgate very difficult to close. You basically had to put a shoulder to it and hope you could get the...

Only 457?? Seriously, wow!! I really am surprised at that low number. Cheers

Greetings! Until today, I didn't know you were there! You should bring your Humvee to come play with us. ;) And holler and meet up for supper one evening with Reloader64 and me. He's right there in LH with you. www.lonestar-mvpa.org Cheers

You wouldn't recognize it now. Probably well over a dozen traffic lights between Liberty Hill and G'town on 29, more going in. Thousands (literally) of houses built and being built along 29. Hwy 183 through Cedar Park and Leander is all city now. As mentioned above, the toll road (inventions...

Dherman304, since you are new on here, I just want to make sure you know the "worthless without pictures" is good natured, we are not being unpleasant to you. What we mean is we'd like to see pictures of what you did. ;) Cheers

This one? :) nopics Cheers

Brent Mullins is a great guy, sometimes a bit grumpy, but always helpful. That is a cool project. The local museum on Camp Mabry had a FLIR ball 3D printed for their Predator UAV, pretty much impossible to tell that it is not the real thing. Cheers

And now we are back to the usual "How am I supposed to pick just one out of these????" Cheers

After getting the bumper squared away, we moved into the cab for a bit. The truck came with an unknown-origin bench seat installed. Apart from it not belonging there, I felt like a 10-year old driving dad's truck sitting way down near the floor on it! When we were making the deal on the...

Since most of the "make it run" work has been accomplished, time to tackle some other tasks. Like that front bumper. In getting the five bolts removed from the six bolt holes, it was noted that no two were the same size! No wonder the thing moved.... It was also obvious that the bumper sat a...

See how many cool vehicles suddenly appeared? It worked!! But I LOVE that forklift!! Not glamerous, perhaps, though exceptionally cool. [thumbzup] Well, maybe not ugly, but I have some that are definitely not pretty! But I'm working on them.... :D Cheers

I'm tempted to throw one of my ugly trucks on just so someone will say "Mine can beat THAT!!" :D Cheers

After a couple of days of serious work on the M715, it is now plumbed, wired, and tweaked to the point that she is running on all her own systems. All the leaks, squeaks, and other issues seem to have been eliminated, she has lights, gauges, and windshield wipers. It was time to drive her for...

A few more pictures. And I was just told that the Lakeway mayor gave our group the First Place award! I didn't know there was a judging. Cheers 1- Pawnshop and his M1009, giving his best attempt at a happy face. :grin: 2- Reloader64's M813 3- My M931A2

We (including Reloader64 and Pawnshop) did the Independence Day parade in Lakeway yesterday morning. We fielded 10 trucks and two trailers, everything from a Mule to 5-tons. It was an early parade, started at 0830 to beat the heat. My adoptive grandson (long story, but his blood grandparents...

A little more progress... The radiator has now been installed. It is a Luxerad unit designed for the CJ-7 with 350 engine conversion. It has four rows and the required built in oil cooler, and fits perfectly in the factory mounting location. There wasn't enough room between it and the...

With all the travelling I've done in the last few weeks, including the MVPA convention (high quality show, great venue, pathetically small attendance) little has happened with the M715. The priorities with this one are to get it operating in roadworthy condition, then start the cosmetic stuff...
