    CUCV to be lifted 9" (project)

    I've got a 6" lift on my M1031 with crossover steering and have no problems rubbing with HMMWV tires. Parts supplied by www.offroaddesign.com I did have to use spacers on the front wheels to use the HMMWV rims, but the tires fit fine. Commercial rims are on the front in the top photo.

    Using FOIA to get truck info

    Glad you got some information, but it was not free. Your tax dollars at work! ;)

    I Bought a 100 Year Old Army Trailer Today

    Don't see many things made today with rivets rather than welding. Seems to have held up very well.

    M101A1 hand brake cable

    That and the A1 has 5 lug wheels and the A2/A3 have 8 lug wheels. ;) I could be wrong, since I haven't stayed at a Holiday Inn in 10-15 years.

    Us military Kawasaki lx250t ?

    Perhaps google KLX250T instead of LX250t or LT250T. One sold at Ft. Riley, Kansas a year ago, but don't know if it was Army issue or just recreational -...

    2020 TX MV Rally at the Brazos Valley Off-Road Ranch

    Disappointing, but understandable. I'm also in if Lincoln has to come up with a cancellation fee, and I hope I can make a re-scheduled rally. Maybe it will give me time to repair the wiring harness damage to my AF van. I set rat traps and caught 2 wood/roof rats and one chipmunk off the top...

    2020 TX MV Rally at the Brazos Valley Off-Road Ranch

    Found a rat had gotten into my AF van and chewed some wires in the wiring harness. I can see the damage, but don't know if I can reach and repair it without taking off the left front quarter panel. I may have to bring my F250 and a military trailer, but I will be there.

    M1031 Cabinet locks

    I got tired of having a drawer full of unknown lock keys, carrying huge key rings on my belt, and when in the barn wanting to open a lock and not having the right key. I replaced all the padlocks on gates, cabinets, tool boxes, chains, sheds, M1031 doors, trailers, etc. with Master Lock...

    (Solved) M939 (M934) NHC-250 855 Starts, dies, sits, then eventually runs fine?

    Actually, it sounds like it's starving for fuel since it will run awhile, die, then not restart until hours later. Check for a clogged fuel filter or pickup tube first.

    Brent, let the location know that Juan and I will stop by in the next couple of days. Juan is able to pick up 2 refurbished 31 batts if we need them.

    Baton Rouge - M923 Batteries

    Hey Brent, I might be able to get it going. What's your timeline and where is it? Do you need the batteries to stay in it?

    Official 2019 Steel Soldiers Georgia Rally (19SSGR) - Georgia Military Vehicle Rally

    Whoo-eee! That was some kinda wind and rain last night. The wind blew the tarp so hard that it pulled the stakes up 3 times. The last time I just let the tarp flap and let the m101 trailer rock me to sleep. Even tho it rained all day Saturday, I enjoyed being out with like-minded folks all...

    No brake lights on trailer

    If the turn signals and hazard lights are working, I'm thinking probably the switch at the brake pedal.
