Hello Team, anyone interested in displaying your MV at the 14 March military show? I stopped and talked with them today at the museum and they would be happy to have us. They will reserve the parking lot in front of the museum for MV parking and you will get free show admission. So far we...

Way to go Steve. What a shot for the scrap book.

I use a small plastic box that sits right in front of the passenger seat box. It does slide a bit, so if that is an issue, I put a small towel or rag under it and that takes care of the sliding. It holds up to six cans or water bottles and a few pens. I painted it with the Behr Desert tan...

Dawico, that cup holder doesn't interfere with your high low range lever? Mounted a fire extinguisher to the shift tower today.

When? How about next Saturday?

I use the M886 mostly for storing the military tents. But it nice to drive a vehicle that goes 60 without strain, has wipers and heater that work, and there aren't too many stock M886's around. Finally got the power steering in and put some newer tires on it too. The air dam over the cab had...

My dad got an M38A1 surplus in about 1967 plus or minus a bit and I was hooked. Got my first MV, M38A1 29 years ago and have had it ever since. It started with me with 4800 miles and now has a little over 12,000. They are a good solid dependable easy maintenance MV. Someone on here said...

maverick, there may be a slight off set difference between your old pulley and the new one. You might look at that and have the pulleys changed. Also if you have the pump off try to hose out any junk that you can while it is opened up. Radiator too! Ahab, if you tell them you have a WW2...

Here is a tip for parts, the jeep parts were fairly interchangeable for a number of years, so when you go to the parts store, tell them you have a 72 jeep with 4 cylinder. They will have that in their book. The 24v parts you will still most likely need to go to a specialty dealer. When you...

If you could, post a picture of the towbar attached to them too.

You have to love those Prius and Lexus drivers that are in such a hurry, they have to cut you off (while you are driving the M923) in Seattle traffic. It is amazing how little sense they have of how much Prius a 923 could eat in one or two bites.

Bragger. :) I found a new trick for our big trucks and taillight lenses. Automotive paint scratch remover. A little spot of that on an old sweatshirt and start polishing away. It took off the paint over spray and the accumulated haze from the outside of the lens. Just takes a few minutes...

Fuel isn't that inexpensive yet. It is still around 90 miles each way from my house too.

How about the 14th or 21st? Next weekend and the one after, think I am booked. Sundays are a no go for me too.

This very topic came up last week at the WA DOT Traffic Control Oversight Committee meeting. What do we expect from first responders, even civilians if they come on an accident scene, or if they are doing traffic control under a non construction circumstance. We are considering putting...

Unfortunately I am out for that weekend. Drat! But we should probably do hamburgers sometime between now and then. Scott are you still working the Saturdays?

You could also add a flaggers stop slow paddle to your safety kit. They make roll up models that stow well. Minimum size is by the MUTCD is 18 inches across. It has to have stop on one side and slow on the other. It would be nice if you took a Flagger class somewhere so that you knew the...

Here are a few ideas for some of the mentioned remedies. First thing that struck me was the advice on the Biker and helmet. If the person is responsive, leave the helmet, if the helmet strap is causing a restriction of the airway, you may need to at least loosen that. This is a case by case...

Took some automotive scratch polish and polished up the taillight lenses. They had overspray and were generally dull in appearance. Soft cloth and within a few minutes had the paint off and had a nice polish on the lense. They are not new, but they started out a 3 and are now a 7 to 8. Make...
