As much as I love this truck, it has mostly become obsolete in my future plans and may go up for sale soon. Hate to see a good truck just sit around.

Good God please tell me you asked that question backwards!!! You didn't seriously consider towing a 5 ton with ANY CUCV I hope !! Now if it's the other way around then you won't even know the CUCV is there.

It actually happens to both varieties. Especially the tractors but not exclusively. Most of the time it is actually the wedge that gets set up and hitting the drum frees it free.

That was a nice trailer ! Great get.

I think the key to this thread is whether the USMC ever "USED" the Deuces. Sure they did, they used a lot of them. Did they "OWN" them, well, that's a little different........ I was actually appointed as a Senior NCO to a board made up entirely of officers for accident investigations...

Also, when you stencil if you spray clear FIRST it seals the edges and gives a very nice color edge.

The sticking brakes (original issue) is most likely from lack of use. The wedge "polishes" itself by being used. When not used often the edges can get rough and hang up when applied. This is why whacking it with a sledge releases.

Lawyers ruin everything. Seriously? If you can't handle it aren't capable of handling the task, don't do it.

The systems are grounded together at the mounting stud of the PCB. Faulty shutdown can trace back to the ABS ECU.

What about that 1061 hulk that will be coming your way? Maybe some slicing and dicing could work? Thinking maybe a couple long pieces of angle to cradle it and tie downs. Put all that on the base frame and suspension?

Yeah but there has to be at least one NCO somewhere giving them direction, they are all facing the same direction !

I'm not sure but I think patracy MIGHT be in this one.....

Ha! I was just going to point that out !

Bikeman did you get my PM about the blackout light kit I saw?

I finally actually got home to NY. I had to drive to NC, drop the trucks and fly out. Flew from Greensboro to DC. Flight canx from DC to Syracuse. The airline planned to detour me through Boston, but an hour later decided it would be best to go back to Charlotte and up to Syracuse. Well that...

Butch this is a RARE moment when Kermit is dirtier than Big Joe ! Photo courtesy of Butch's very large I cloud which has a ton of great trail pics !

PJ Marty and I got in about 17:45. Nice uneventful trip. Cannot believe how much more fun I have every year. I think the dates were perfect. The Hardball was the best ever! No lines no waiting. Nice route and good food for sure. See everyone next year!!!!

We got in to Asheboro about an hour ago. Completely uneventful.

I will be there tomorrow. Hope it makes it.

We made it back in about 8 hours. Nice ride but dragging that 12 foot tall parachute sure was hard on the gas gauge.
