    Sorry, no. Should I?

    Old girl put back on active duty

    See what happened from all the sleeping around I did with hookers when I was off on vacation? I started franchising. I have my own unit named after me, sniff sniff. I feel all warm inside. Oh wait, that's just gas.

    This one's in sad shape!

    I had one in worse shape last year, it got parted out to those who can use them. Some trucks and trailers aren't in great shape, and the owners just use them for work. Maybe not museum pieces or parade trucks, but they get work done. Bet you wouldn't hesitate to throw 1,500 lbs of firewood...

    help me design a radio shelter

    After looking over matt1970m35's S-280 shelter, and coming up with further ideas, I've had the following thoughts: 1. No sink or water supply. While convenient for me for camping, I suddenly had a horrible thought about water and a sink on one side of the shelter, and high-end high-voltage...

    I doubt the shelter campers will be there for long once the big rigs we drive show up in force and surround them.

    It has rims and tires, but the tires are 40+ years old and don't hold air. They would not survive being towed down the interstate.

    2013 Haspin Discussion Thread

    joediveguy is coming by tomorrow afternoon with a utility trailer and a cutting torch, so we can start the process of loading gimpy's M101 trailer frame/axle/etc. for the trip out there. Have to remove the scrap body from his frame, then load to the utility trailer, as his trailer frame has no...

    2013 Haspin Discussion Thread

    Haspin Acres is a big place, but not that big that you'll get lost forever. The main trails are always well-patrolled, and the back areas we only really go out on in groups, so you'll have good company. When I went there in 2010, I had a M37 with me that I picked up on the way there (eBay...

    Teach me about antennas on MV's

    Two places I have seen: 1. Under the bench seat on the passenger side. 2. If it didn't have a bench seat (instead had two spring seats), mount would be vertical bolted to the rear of the cab, on the floor, between the two seats.

    help me design a radio shelter

    Got no money to invest in it right now, barely making ends meet. Hope to change that shortly, maybe then I'll look into what he has. He's too far from me for the big stuff, though.

    help me design a radio shelter

    Put in more thought about the basic layout. I'm not a tech guru with a drafting program, I just have Windows Paint, but you can see the basic layout I want. Bottom is the doorway. Left side is living quarters and related, storage, a place for a microwave, dorm fridge, possibly a sink and...

    1951 M104A1 Trailer

    Nice save! There was one here locally for sale, it was a lot worse than yours is, a parts unit at best. Yours could use some sandblasting and TLC, but another M104 is saved from the crusher!

    School me...

    A word of caution: lots of guys call these trailers "dump trailers", because you can pull out the two forward cargo body pins and dump the trailer contents. THERE IS NO WHERE IN THE MILITARY MANUAL THAT TELLS ABOUT A "DUMP" FEATURE ON THE M101 TRAILER. While you can do this, the "dump" feature...
