    Tarp cleaning and stave length

    So I came up with a way to deal with this issue. I planed some oak pieces down to 2 1/2x 7/8x16" (one I planed down to 3/4" thick because one of the pockets was dented in and narrower). Then I put a pan head screw in the center of one end. Before cutting them down to 16" long, I put the piece...

    When did they switch rims on deuces from rivets to welds?

    Yep, just like that. I just scraped off the biggest chunks of paint that were flaking, and shot some OD green spray paint to camouflage the dirt and rust for the Veteran's Day parade this Sunday. I'll probably move that tire to the inside or switch it out as I have several spares.

    When did they switch rims on deuces from rivets to welds?

    At least one of the rims on my deuce has rivets in it, when did they switch to a welded rim? Mine is a '71. I'll be going through all the rims and tires this winter to clean an paint them, I have a few spares, so I might switch that one out. Just wondering how old that rim is. It does have a...

    Pair of 1968 M36a2

    Not that my vote counts for anything, but I'd vote against cutting those up.

    Tarp cleaning and stave length

    But then you have to lift the whole thing out if you want the short staves back in again... depends on if you want one size or the other permanently.

    Tarp cleaning and stave length

    All you need to do is have longer staves that you can change out, and a bigger tarp. It wouldn't take long to swap them out with a helper.

    Tarp cleaning and stave length

    Digging up an old thread here, but our maintenance section had our parts and tool deuce with extra tall bows. We had parts and tool cabinets in it, and the rear end was actually framed in with 2x4's and plywood, with a steel door like you'd have for a house framed in. There was steel mesh on...

    OH Anybody have USAA for their military vehicle?

    Sorry, that should've been $438 to $588. Typo.

    OH Anybody have USAA for their military vehicle?

    I have historical tags. The guy I bought it from had truck tags, but the DMV women up here were so effing clueless, I just settled for historic tags. I have to keep it under a 200 mile radius of travel, or it's a higher rate.

    OH Anybody have USAA for their military vehicle?

    I'm only paying $450 I think for my deuce, and that's with a little extra coverage through Progressive.

    Canoo electric pickup military version concept

    I couldn't listen to that guy anymore... I don't think his gushing about the truck could get any more fake. First off, this truck is butt ugly. Only 200 mile range, and I bet that's unloaded. Zero armor, it'll never see the front line, you can take "tactical" out of the name. Just because...

    WMO users in Ohio?

    Supposedly from the sources I've seen, this system can filter down to 0.5 microns or more, which should be more than fine. I think I've seen some people say that they only filter down to 5 microns.

    WMO users in Ohio?

    OK, so I got it all set up! But I'm going to wait for warmer weather to fire it up, I don't want to have to heat up the oil when it's only 30 degrees. I'd like to not spend a bunch on electricity to heat the oil when I can get mother nature to help for free. When I get it up and running, I'll...
