    Diesel Jacked!!!!!

    Just as in warfare, the only way to counter a sniper is with another sniper. Best thing to do is learn to snipe and fight back. There's really nothing wrong with it, but it does tend to get irritating to some. GLs 15 minute rule essentially ruins the true sniping technique as you have in...

    M880 questions

    Main things to stop a 727 from leaking are to make sure that the pan's sealing surface is flat and smooth. If it's in bad shape, replace it and while you are at it, get a deeper pan with a drain plug from Mopar Performance. Next thing is the gasket. You have to pay attention and put the...

    Oshkosh M1070F HET - British Army

    I knew the wheels turned, but since the trailer frame itself doesn't bend, there's still a bit a tire scrubbing and some wide turning. Better then if they didn't turn at all, but still not perfect, lol.

    Oshkosh M1070F HET - British Army

    Yeah, imagine the turning radius, the tire wear, oh the humanity! Lol, pretty cool though. I believe I remember seeing on the Discovery Channel or somewhere that a lot of roads in Europe won't handle a lot of weight so they have to use trailers like that to disperse the weight to prevent...

    Directional Signal Question

    Get some dielectric grease. It's a clear non-conductive grease made especially for sealing electrical connections and preventing corrosion.

    What's the big deal about the M764 auger truck?

    Might be a Palfinger boom. White Owl has a new one with the auger motor and all on it very similar to that one.

    What's the big deal about the M764 auger truck?

    I have noticed this myself. I know that there was on in either NC or SC on ebay for a long time for what seemed a decent price and it didn't sell for months. Shortly after the one on Ebay disappeared, Eastern popped up with one that seems to be double the price of the one on Ebay. I think...

    need help with my first military jeep

    Most likely you will have to have a DMV officer or State Police look at your truck and verify it's ID and numbers to get the title changed. Sometimes you can get someone at the local office willing to do that but it's rare these days. The serial number is on the data plate on the dash, on the...

    vinyl top

    Also there are companies that make cheaper tops for Deuces and other military vehicles. I ordered a vinyl top for my M715 from Beachwood Canvas and it's a very nice piece and a lot cheaper than the original canvas for my truck. I would imagine they can do one for a M35 for less than GMA if...

    Fort Drum auction

    I let them know w lont time ago that I would not ever buy anything from them with no SF97 since it defeated the whole purpose of buying a truck if I can't title it.

    TONS OF M715 & M725 PARTS

    Might want to call him. I know Bob posted on The M715 Zone that he was going to be without a computer for a while.

    Always have a couple of blondes handy when you get stuck!

    Heh heh, notice the tank on it's top behind the truck. I bet that wreck made a hell of a lot of noise, lol.

    Fort Drum auction

    I wonder, what does it cost an individual to take a SF97 to a DMV office and get a title? Normal titling fees and such? I think that and the time and man hours it would take to do all the paperwork and trips to DMV is the reason GL doesn't want to fool with it. Since they are not a US...

    I think all winches are rated wih one wrap. I know Warn and Ramsey are.

    What size snatchblocks for front winch?

    I read that since the winch was the pulling part of the setup and with the varying load because of cable wraps that it carries more of the load. There was also something about the load of the rigging on the winch since it's the only "powered" part. I'm sure that would vary, but it's how I...
