    New! 2009 GA Rally Multimedia Thread

    This was my first rally and I had a great time. Many thanks to Big Case for letting me ride in his Deuce on Friday. I met a lot of really great people and saw a lot of nice MVs. I also spent too much money on parts, but also received some very good information. I've now decided that I need to...

    Insurance and Licensing

    I insured my 1969 Kaiser Jeep M35A2 with State Farm. They know it is a military vehicle and the agent had to request a quote from their headquarters. They issued me a $100K liability commercial policy, although it is not being used for commercial use. The cost is $285.23 every six months...

    I also need passenger-side windshield and frame. These may be the same - I haven't checked.

    Georgia MV Title Problems

    I read the Georgia regs on titles. The law says that titles are mandatory in Georgia for vehicles manufactured after 1985 and that before 1985 that titles are optional, back to 1963. No titles are ever issued pre-63. However, the law also says that a title will not be issued on a pre-1985...

    Georgia MV Title Problems

    I finally received a Georgia title for my Deuce! I went back a second time and was told the same thing I was told the first time. No title for MVs with less than 17 digit VINs. I went back a third time , each time seeing someone different, but the same manager, and when I was told the same...

    I need both doors for M35A2 if they are 100% rust free, except for minor surface rust. Mine have holes corroded out at the bottom corners.

    Assistance from Forest Park Ga to Raleigh NC

    No offense, but I believe you are making a very big mistake not taking the interstate. I recently picked up a Deuce at Ft Indiantown Gap in Pennsylvania and drove it 17 hours straight through to North Georgia. I kept it at 52 max speed on the interstate. The portions of the trip not on the...

    Towing A M105 Trailer?

    I towed an M105A2 950 miles from Ft Riley with an F-150. I purchased a raised pintle hitch from Northern Tool and the result was an almost perfectly level trailer. The F-150 strained a little in the mountains with the 5 liter engine, but otherwise it pulled fine. I was actually amazed at how...

    Georgia MV Title Problems

    I haven't given up yet. I find it interesting that the Towns County tag people seem to know more about the regulations than the State MVD does. I planned to go for another visit today, but had some unfortunate luck. I have a Cessna 152 airplane and I suffered engine failure on take off...

    Georgia MV Title Problems

    Terry, Towns County is telling me the same thing you stated. It was the State office that I am having problems with. I went to the State MVD office in Hapeville where you can receive the title immediately if you have the correct paperwork. I'm going to write a letter to the head of the MVD...

    Georgia MV Title Problems

    I visited the Georgia Motor Vehicle Division last week to apply for titles for three MVs I just acquired from GL. I had SF97s and Bills of Sale for all three vehicles, a 1969 Kaiser Jeep M35A2, a 1968 M105A2 trailer and a 1992 M116A2 trailer. I was told that I needed to have the VIN numbers...

    Rear Step Question - M35A2

    I ordered the new (used) one from Eastern Surplus. It was in perfect condition and they got it to me very fast. I believe he might have the fold-up one for your front bumper. My front one was mangled, but I was able to straighten it, but it required the use of an acetylene torch. I can't...

    Rear Step Question - M35A2

    I have a 1969 Kaiser M35A2. One of the rear steps on the tailgate is mangled and I need a replacement. I ordered one and when it arrived it was too short, approximately 5 inches tall, while my truck has approximately 6 inch steps on it. The mounting hole patterns appear to be identical. I...

    Again, GL sucks for customer service

    I've learned to never fax anything to GL. I always scan and e-mail the forms and it works much faster. Also, the quality of the photo ID is much better as faxed copies are usually very poor quality.

    Brake Line - M-116A2/M-101Aw2Trailer

    In the TM, it refers to fabricating the brake line from bulk material with a stock number, but no specifications on the size of tubing.

    Brake Line - M-116A2/M-101Aw2Trailer

    I need to replace the front brake line on an M-116A2 trailer. This is the same as the M-101A2. Does anyone know what size steel tubing is used?

    Reconfiguring MEP-006A GenSet

    I picked up the MEP-003A at Ft Jackson today and pulled it home. The trailer has a new top and two new tires. Otherwise, the trailer has a lot of rust and corrosion. Both tail light assemblies are bent, and the hydraulic line from the tongue rearward is broken in two. Sandblasting and paint...
