Love your work so far - subscribed! Seeing work done as well as this gives me hope that I can refurb a CUCV in the near future, it's getting harder to find a CUCV Blazer that's without rust or other problems without paying a fortune on the East Coast.

If Murphy doesn't have it, noone does! :) I have never seen a SINCGARS radio at a hamfest, though I have seen mounts, amps, and related antenna gear for them there. The radios are like hen's teeth - if you ever see one SNAG IT because you are probably not going to see one again!

If you attend and get some mil gear, post up some pics of your saves!

Why not just leave it loose on the floor of the trailer, and then if you need to transport something, you just reposition it? I know it's not sexy and all, but the only place that makes sense for mounting it is up front, either inside or just outside the box, but if that makes it too heavy for...

Well, fall is here and that means the last couple hamfests in the area for the year. Once October is over, hamfest season is done until early next year when snowed-in tech weenies like me feel the need to go inside and sell wares at the first few of the year at local colleges and exposition...

amen!

Exactly. Not to mention, cutting one axle off you lose the "pusher" axle that helps power you through rough spots when offroad. All the deuces I've seen at rallies that get stuck in the easy stuff, always seem to be the bobbed trucks. On one hand, it's the owner's trucks, they can do with...

Yes, but are there any commercial tires in a more modern size that would fit those rims as a suitable replacement? Saw a M123 recently that had new looking commercial truck tires on them, and the original rims were in place.

Can we nominate vehicles we USED to have?

Only time we had an MB on the trails with us was in fall 2008. It did well on the weekend...

Recovery must have been in Australia. That was a long recovery trip!

Couple pics I found using Google. Hope they help.

Been a while since our fearless leader shenkmen has chimed into this thread, hope he's still planning on leading this motley crew! :)

Same here, and ditto on the fading away. The organizers have made too many excuses over the years, now they are going to pay for it.

Looks awesome! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-OYKd8SVrI

Just a small update to this thread - went to Gilbert PA show last weekend and had a great time. While my funds were low, I still was able to manage to find something for the shelter project. One seller had this rack mounted storage cabinet, built for Tobyhanna Army Depot, CY(7181)/G. It...

Great pics of SrJeepers old deuce and Vietnam display! Someday I'll get back to it, as a tribute to my friend and Vietnam-era veteran....

Love this build! Not sure how long it has taken for you to get to this point (you started the thread on 9-7-14 and I doubt you got all this done in the past 3 weeks), but you're making great progress! BTW - love the bumper mounted Wilton vise. And many others love it to. That vise is...

Many thanks, will pass it along.

Old fart (well, Frank is olDER), no computer and no desire to learn how to use one. All the info about rallies and upcoming events I have to pass along to him, if he doesn't learn it through MV mag. Why, DH, you don't trust me to act as a suitable ambassador of SS to others? :)
