I can help at the Registration Tent from 6 to whenever on Thursday. I may be able to start a little earlier depending on Murphy's plans for my small groups ride up. I may even be able to talk Atomic and GoDawgsdv8 to hang out with me. On Friday my family will make it up and I'll be tied to...

I've got this. Shipping up North, I might learn something as I've never sent anything out that weighed more than 10 pounds but the SS Express works good if you know people. My Cargo Cover on my Deuce started out in Maryland, it got taken to a few Rally's and about 6 months later, it made it to...

I run 40W Non Detergent Engine oil in my trans and transfer at the suggestion of ¨M35Tom¨ on here. He has a vast amount of knowledge on these transmissions and even offers a taller overdrive kit for the Deuce. I did notice about a 30 degree temp drop on my transfer case after the change in...

3/4¨ and 1/2¨ square will go a long way!!

They are open diff's on these trucks. Mine makes all kinds of pops and clunks going through ruts thanks to a flexible frame and a rigid bed. If you rode in my truck on the trail ride at the GA Rally, you'd think an axle was about to drop out or the bed might fall off with some of the noises...

Tell Tony I will ride Passenger!! I've already taken his driver's seat in Proud enough.

My old wrecker (M936A2) was like that. It idled low and would struggle to run to 2,000 rpm in neutral. New fuel filter's did wonders on that truck but the problem would come back. My truck had developed algae in the fuel tanks from sitting month to month. The Guard put new tanks on it...

Didn't see Proud American in the pictures. Need a driver? I'm trying to avoid going on a 6 mile ruck march in the morning by myself!!!

I also use the 50 ft. lbs. method with the tires spinning and back off a half turn, torque the outer to 150 ft. lbs. and have had no problems. Hub temps on a hot GA Day from the last GA Rally which is 190 miles one way for me were between 120 and 130 in 90 degree ambient temps running steady at...

PB, My MV's are part of my ¨Family¨. I think alot of people consider them as such so that was my gist concerning a ¨Family Member¨. My Family expanded when the M35A2, M1028, M105A2, and M1102 joined Lee, Joey, Briggs and myself over the past few years.

I'd have some awesome pics to post up of an M1A1 in full OIF I glory if we were allowed to post pictures of MV's we've signed for!! That nice Half Track wouldn't stand a chance!!! It's gotta be one of your family members or one of your friends ¨current¨ family members to be entered.

NDT, There may be different push button light switches but I've never heard of it. I do know that the newer FMTV's have pushbutton light switches that look exactly like the one's you'll find in my Deuce or a HMMWV. I also know the newer FMTV's still have 12 volt light bulbs so there may be a...

Peashooter, Thanks for your link to this thread. The different perches would explain why Firestone T831's made my truck a handful to drive while others seem to have no issues. On my truck, it would follow every pebble in the road and had very poor return to center. I ground my spring perches...

Sir, you are correct on that. MCSC BAR was one of the old names which equaled Marine Corps Supply Center Barstow. It is the Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow now. The new acronym they apply to rebuild tags is MDMC PPB which stands for Marine Depot Maintenance Command - Production Plant...

I got Bronze this month!!! Congrats to Taylordc15 on a very nice M932A2 and M146 combo with a ring mount along with bragging rights!!!

I got a good deal on a set of take out's. They have been on my truck since the 2010 GA Rally and are still working fine to this day. They are the older now Trucklite models and if and when they fail, I'll get another set to replace them. I had the pleasure of greeting the Rally attendees to...

Jeepsinker, You have nothing to apologize for as I never took your post as offensive. I'm just a regular person who enjoys the pain and pleasure that comes from owning a few older Military Trucks as well as sharing my experience with others on this site. You are more than welcome to call me...

Sir, the price was in 2009 dollars. I'm sure it's worth more than $2,090 now that it's had it's upgrades. Sorry for the Hi-Jack. CUCVLOVER, these trucks get cheaper by the day. Yes, you can find them on sale on online auction sites for higher prices but I've found quite a few for better...

I voted for a friend's truck. I know a CUCV has never won before but I'm not going to campaign outside of the MV of the Month thread. I'll find a way to mount a ring mount on my M1028 and win once I do!!. Now I need to figure out how to mount an M66 ring mount on a CUCV.

I'm just curious as I have no intentions of selling my M35A2. What would be the going price for a solid runner, radial tires, minimal rust? I went the GL route on my truck so I paid $1,045 out the door. I replaced the tires, touched up some paint, added a muffler and a canvas cover. I'm just...
