I have two deuce A3 rims (no tires) that need to get on Steel Soldiers Express from Winter Haven, Florida to Sand Rock, AL. If anybody can snag them from Steve6x6x6 and deliver them I'll be happy to kick in fuel money. PM me for contact numbers.

Well folks we are close to the GA Rally and I have no tractor to pull the van trailer there with. I had a civy tow dolly borrowed but it will not fit the pintle on the M927 and I do not want to whittle away at the hitch to make it work....it is also a POS that I don't trust to get me to GA...

I picked up the T-shirts today and my vendor told me she would make me a deal on some digital camo baseball style caps with our logo on it. I have to let her know by tomorrow noon. This is a photoshopped pic...the actual caps will not have the small lines connecting the letters. They are...

I was only in one unit that had the Dodge M880 trucks.....I was not an assigned driver on one since they belonged to the Maint Platoon. Are they full time 4WD and if so how can that be remedied? Do they have built in grimlins like the CUCV series? What is the sweet spot for milage as far...

I know some of you have been following the mis-adventures of Ron and I as we do assembly and load outs of the MK48's that have been selling out of Jacksonville. I want to give a big shout out to Jackie, Luis and Tim who have worked to grease the skids for us as we work with Honeywell, the...

If we don't it won't be because we didn't try. I think we should advertise the GA Rally in Supply Line Magazine to reach those MVPA members that are still not aware that Steel Soldiers exist. I met several folks there that had never heard of us. Since we do not invite the general public to...

Well as the old adage goes "no good deed goes unpunished." I decided to leave my comfort zone and go to Fort Rucker to pick up a deuce for Ryan77 who resides in the "Land of Northern Aggression". Rucker is an unmanned GL site and the GL Rep (whom we shall get to know better) is only there on...

I picked up a mixed lot at Redstone and in the bunch was this kit that goes on a HUMVEE. There are instructions as to how to assemble it but it's not shown attached to a vehicle so I can reference it's intended use. I assembled one of them and it looks like they could be adapted to other...

I will be heading up to Redstone one day next week (21-23 May) to preview and to pick up some items for a fellow member. If anyone needs an item previewed or something else picked up send me a PM. I discount my normal fee if I can do multiple recoveries at one time. You goodies can be stored...

Since there is not a "GL sucks again" thread I'll post this here. This morning I attempted to call GL at Fort Rucker (looked up the number on the GL website) about 0730 CST...got an answering machine that said office opened at 0800....fair enough...called back at 0830 and got the same...

There will be a MV event this coming Saturday at the Veterans Memorial Museum in Huntsville, AL. The Veterans Memorial Museum - Huntsville Alabama They're off of Memorial Parkway (State Hwy 231) east of Redstone. I plan on taking the M927 up there with a load of trade goods since they...

I am going to use the M927 to do a recovery in the next week or so and I want to change the big fuel filter just under the drivers side fender. It's a canister filter and looks to be the same as the one on the 800 series. If I remember correctly that fiter costs a war pension and I have a...

Today was the day I went up to Redstone to pick up my latest prize....my M927 long bed 5 ton. I also picked up two other trucks for fellow members Rickycotte (M931) and PCtrans (M928) Since the M931 has an air leak issue I had to flat tow it back. I had an early scare when the temp guage...

I was on the carport this morning attempting to beat an old riding lawn mower into submission when a truck pulls up in the yard. Two guys get out and ask if the dueces in the back yard are mine (no, I'm just deuce sitting them................here's your sign). I give them the 50 cent tour...

Yesterday (22 March, 12) I made a pickup for a fellow SS member. I took the Boss Lady and Elmo and Ellie Mae Possum with me. We picked up two lots of tires/rims and one very cherry M931 tractor. Mr Murphy must have been otherwise engage since no issues came up. The only hiccup was when I...

Since I have a fondness for M915's and other military tractors I have bought an adaptor that will allow me to pull my 28 foot civilian gooseneck trailer with a road tractor. I can fab up an adaptor to use a 24 volt plug (on M818, M931, M275, etc) to run a set of auxillary brake lights/turn...

I have a medium towbar and I may need to tow a M915 in the near future. I need to borrow or buy a set of feet that will hook to the M915. If anybody can assist please PM me.

Does anyone know if the S250 will fit into a M105 trailer with out doing a mod to either one? I have to pick up the shelter I won last Thursday Monday morning and I can't leave it on the gooseneck. I have an orphan M105 that would be a good place to store it (I don't want to set it on the...

I picked up the lot of boxes I won from Anniston Army Depot last week and got them stored in my big van. These boxes were used to ship computers and some come with handles and locks. They are in pretty good shape but some have slight water damage. The big boxes were a real...

I won some of these at Redstone today. A.R. Lintern Inc air conditioner assembly PN 072514584 24 V DC. They are heating and cooling units and I think they can be modified to work on various MV's. They are new and in the crate and have everything needed to install (may have to have a...
