OOPS, my bad.

I second the motion to save the Land Rover. At least you don't have to worry about body rust - they're aluminum.

M880, welcome to the site. We have quite a few members from the UK. Please post pictures of your green machines and motorbikes. 8-)

55 is safe but you will get the feeling the engine is about to blow up (50 is a little more sane). A buddy of mine had one licensed for the street in California. If you can register one here, you can register one anywhere.

A speedometer shop can make you a longer cable.

I like the coil spring bump stops.

Hanley, Welcome to the site!

When the time comes and you want a second MV to compliment your M35A2, really think about a CUCV. I've owned two M1009's and I've had the current one for 10 years. It is my "jump in and go" military vehicle. When I first drove an M1009, I was impressed with its jeep-like turning radius. Are...

Awesome! Glad to see you got that rare bird running again.

I agree that learining to double clutch is the best solution. If you insist on a transmission change, an M37 transmission might work.

A competent muffler place should be able to make one for you. I would go to an independent guy, not one of the big chains like Midas.

The C-141 is at the March Field Air Museum in Riverside. It is an impressive plane!

I know it's true. I can believe the story. I have been affected by the same rain and rain and rain. See my story of my trip to the dump today under the "How Cold Is It Where You Live" thread. Parts of Riverside have soil on top of bedrock that is close to the surface. When this stuff gets...

All CUCV lights are 12 volts. I made an adapter cable out of a military trailer cable using a multimeter to identify wires. I ended the cable with the standard flat-four civilian plug. I am not set up for electric trailer brakes at the moment. I am going to use this setup later today when I...

My dad got a Caterpillar D-8 stuck badly in Alaskan mud during the Korean war. They chained a railroad tie to the tracks up front and used it like a giant paddle until it started coming up at the rear of the dozer. Then they unchained the tie, moved it back to the front, and chained it to the...

You could be right. I was thinking it was caused by the tailgate or rear of a truck trying to back up this trailer. This trailer could be rated for only 20 or 25 MPH. It probably should be towed home on a flatbed trailer.

Sounds great. We need pictures man! nopics

Amen to that! I tow an M416 trailer behind my M1009 with no trouble. I also have a small single axle car trailer that I use to tow my M274A5 mule. Again, no troubles with that load, except slow going up hills. Downshift to second as soon as your speed drops below 50 to help your transmission...

Your picture #2 looks like the front axle and it doesn't look like that axle has any brakes. It looks like there are some sort of brakes on the rear axle in photo #7. I would guess the brakes are either electric or air. The tounge doesn't look like it would work for surge brakes. This...

The R6602 engine is a torque monster!
