Ironic thing is, we're the only ones that get filmed extensively by other park-goers when we show up! But yes, we do get twice the blame due to our size, and the Jeepers can't get by us.

I owned two replicas made from real parts, at $1K each. They were worth the money, and I have since sold them to someone else for their gun truck project. However, I will say that I used them for display purposes only, and when I buy a new set, they will be the airsoft replicas. They are...

shenk, Because of the race last April, we were only able to do the East side of the road, which costs extra for those driving. Might want to do the west side this time, it has lots more acreage anyways to explore. There are also some green trails that we don't often hit on the West side, some...

Nice CUCV, Dudley, sure looks like a keeper to me!

In the past it was pretty much every man for himself cooking. Some groups were formed. Whatever you want to do, is good. I plan on bringing my own...

I have always argued that the decision to replace the jeep, a 1/4-ton vehicle, with the HMMWV, a 5/4-ton vehicle, was misguided. Yes, the HMMWV is a great vehicle, and I think it's place in the US inventory, as far as a size of vehicle, is secure. However, I believe that a small, lightweight...

The trailer I would be making would necessitate a single axle that can hold 5,000 lbs easily at road speeds. I prefer these trailer axles because the 9.00x20 tires would be rather cheap compared to a similar sized commercial truck tire, or going bigger to the 11.00x20. Thanks for the input...

Might have a need for a heavy trailer axle for a future project build, would like a trailer axle that uses 9.00x20 tires on the end. That pretty much limits it to the following trailers: M105 cargo, M332 ammo, M200 and M353 genset carrier. Each of these uses these size tires. However, due to...

The bumper fits the Marine Corps MTVR 7-ton truck. The bumper is upside down from how it normally goes.

Amer-team: I think towing it to Bremerton is out. Good idea, but no. :) Lotsa aircraft carriers stored in Bremerton to play around, but I think the tow there would be very expensive. Last time it was towed, was to a local shipyard a couple years back, to repair and repaint the hull. One...

I've driven many miles in my deuces on tires made in the 1960s and 1970s. Never once thought of a blowout, but maybe I should have, and made a concerted effort to put a newer tire on the front side. Glad you're okay.

You don't have to paint, there is a list hundreds of items long, some important, some not, that are listed to get done this work weekend. Cleaning and polishing, welding, fixing general items, wiring and electrical, woodworking, even just running back and forth (sorry, fore and aft) from the...

Two more weeks until the work weekend, any more interested in attending?

Just a side note - I have remembered seeing pics of your M920 moving locomotives several times over the past couple years. My question is: Do locomotives in the southwest need to be moved by truck that often? There are several museums in the Virginia/Maryland area I have been to and the...

Your CUCV is pretty hot. LOL

Here ya go. https://www.universaltire.com/truck-and-military/truck/750-16-sta-super-traxion.html

I've seen that dolly before have 7.00x16 NDT tires on them before, also same size but in a very aggressive offroad pattern.

Let's see...a good cigar lasts an hour or so. Three hours from where you are to Rausch Creek, that's four cigars! Three for the trip, and one to sell to me when you arrive! :) LOVE a good cigar!

Yup. Also, there is an office in DoD that is actively looking for anyone out there who has any stockpiles of old, surplus spare parts for F-14s, that are buying them up only to scrap them. I know one instance out west where one guy had 8-10 cockpit canopies, brand new in the crates, for the...
