USA6X6?!?! Boy, just wait until Tom gets a load of this, lol...

EDIT: Er, sorry for the hijack, I didn't originally intend this post to be this long, lol... A few issues with oil filter magnets. One major issue is that probably over half the garbage floating around in your oil is non-metallic, or is babbit, copper, or aluminum bearing material, and...

Well Slash, there you go. Someone DOES have a few old rockets laying around, lol...

Hold Alt + 248 on Numpad = ° He he...

Yeah a Mico lock works a lot like a line lock, only Mico locks are typically for a heavier duty cycle with longer periods of use. Most of the common Mico locks are manual fior civilian vehicles. As far as the rust and magnet bit, I think as long as the rust still has a little true iron that...

Looking real good, Kenny. Take your time, less mistakes that way, lol.

No, but it would be nice and interesting to have one restored, complete with a mock-up missle to do parades.

Clifton Forge? Clifton Forge where? There's one here in Virginia about 12 miles from me that was a large C&O, Chessie System, CSX, etc, etc, yard and shop over the years. Still run quite a bit of coal though here also. Tons of old train buildings and stuff around Covington and Clifton.

Tom, how the hell does Barry fit into one of those?!? I'm probably no bigger than you, and I had trouble getting in and out of Chris' 'Mog, lol...

Might also check with Spicergear since he has a rear facing PTO winch on his Deuce.

Auction says it's a Freightliner, but it sure looks like a Unimog. Perhaps they were marketed to the US Military as a Freight-ticker since they are a division of DaimlerChrysler. Hard to tell when that was bought, but perhaps Mercedes owner Freightliner at the time. Also the attachments are...

I'm just looking at the overall condition of the vehicles. Some appear to be in good condition but some appear to have very faded paint and/or out dated color schemes. Might just be stuff getting transported to a base for rebuild.

Perhaps shuffling stuff around to the few remaining GL selling points? I thought they were going to cut back on the bases that sold stuff though GL now? Anyone know what the red and white stickers in the windshield signifies? That one Deuce is missing the top and the bed and cab are not...

Heh, remember Tom swapped the multifuel out for a Cat. He should still have plenty of power on tap.

You can't tow a M35 with a 3/4 ton truck. It's too much weight and will just throw you all over the highway. I believe it has been done with a 1 ton dually, but from what I have heard it's scary enough that they won't do it again. Tow a Deuce with a Deuce or something larger. Also the...

Yeah, I've seen quite a few of those myself. Even more common now that just about everything uses "unit bearing" hubs. For some reason no one wants to pay $200 for the new bearing assembly in their new vehicle when their old one took bearings that might add up to $80 total. Ahhhh progress, lol...

Excellent! I always knew there was something "wrong" with those cabs when I saw them for sale, but I never could put my finger on it. I later realized it was because the plate was missing, lol. I typically miss the obvious. I must say that this whole project has a very nice look and an...

Skidplate? I assume you are meaning the one on the front of the cab? I would certainly add one of those. It gives the lamps a recessed look and sort of cuts down on the "bug eyed" look.
