I got a set of new steel wheels for my M38, and they all already have a new factory glossy gray paint finish. How does everyone get the factory paint to a point where they can apply their own finish? I am looking for an efficient and effective method to scuff the paint to a point where I can...
I’d like to get a replacement M416 floor and after talking with the dealer, the only economical way to ship is as freight to a business. I don’t have a business and I’m unfamiliar with shipping something as freight. I’m looking for more knowledge on how to search for a reputable freight...
Does anyone have the dimensions of a HMMWV front tow point/shackle mount? Specifically I need the overall length and bolt spread. I am thinking of mounting a set to the front of a Jeep.
I’ve got an ISU-90 container that has a split and peeling seam on the edge of the roof. The construction is similar to a shelter; aluminum skin over a lightweight core. In this case I think it’s wood, or composite and wood. Anyway, I’d rather try some adhesive sealant instead of trying to bend...
Just got around to servicing a MEP-531 I picked up a little while ago; changed fluids and filters and fired it up. As usual it took some fuel bleeding and a bit of cranking to get it to run. Once it fired I starting getting quite a bit of popping and some “backfires” thru the exhaust. Any...
Anyone want to purchase a small airforce? I suppose we could all chip in and put together a steelsoldiers airforce, all for the token sum of about $200k. Perhaps we could convince a couple of members to restore the aircraft in their garages on the cheap too. But then we might need a bigger rally...
I'll be looking to ship a A/M32K-4A 4 wheel rough terrain flatbed trailer from Yermo, CA to Leavenworth, KS in the coming weeks after the EUC clears. Anyone have space, need a backhaul or know of a reputable economical hauler looking for a load in that direction?
Bryan at Fort Riley was helpful and easy to work with. More than willing to help me out in the event things didn't go as planned. Thankfully everything went smooth during yesterday's pickup of a generator trailer. Thanks a lot to him and the other guy at Riley (didn't catch his name).
Floridianson in Interlachen, FL has a deuce bed and some G177 tires I'd like to own but as happens often in this hobby geography is in my way. Any chance someone is looking to haul stuff to the Kansas City area?
I've been looking for a replacement set/day-tank fuel filter and bowl gasket. Not the Yanmar in-tank fuel filter but the original fuel filter. I tried searching to see if anyone has a part number and I tried to cross reference by size to no avail. Does anyone have a source or part number cross...
While I admit the title of the story made me giggle, the idea of biomethane did spark a serious thought or two. I'm not going to start relieving myself in the tank of my deuce quite yet, but I wonder if this may be a viable do-it-yourself fuel source in the future...
I have a field desk I need to touch up as well as some wooden boxes I'd like to paint to match the field desk, does anyone know the correct shade of green to use? It's the same color for wooden footlockers, field safes, field desks, etc.
I've painted some wooden items with rapco spray paint and...
It's not a MV specific show but I assume there will be plenty of military Jeeps attending. I'm going to flat tow my M38 behind my wife's silver '14 Rubicon on over to Aiken. Anyone else coming or have any insight to this event...
Can anyone pick up a generator at Fort Riley, KS and hold for a couple of days until I can make it up from Leavenworth? I won't be able to make it to the GL lot during their very limited business hours. A MEP-016D is small, about 250lbs, and will fit in a pickup truck.
The hours at the Riley...

Any wrecker owners in the vicinity of Augusta, GA available to lift a S788 shelter into a Deuce bed between now and 10 June? The shelter weighs about 700lbs, I have slings and shackles on hand and the shelter is already next to the...
