With all the talk about upcomming events and the need for some folks to get things nailed down at work (or with the Significant Other), I thought that I would let everyone know that the VA Rally (aka Graves Mountain MV Trailrides and Rally) will be held August 29-September 2, 2013. The website...

Is there anyone who can pick up a medium sized battery charger in Land O Lakes, FL 34639-2718 for me? I'll need it picked up in the next week, and then either boxed and shipped to me in Raleigh, or better yet, relayed up to the GA rally or to Raleigh, NC. The unit is a Lamarche A40-20-24v...

Just a heads up to everyone that the dates for the VA Rally (aka: Graves Mountain MV Trailrides and Rally) are August 30-Sept 4, 2012. Same basic plan as last year, just with a LOT of new trails over on Doubletop and Graves Mountains (Steve's crew has been super busy cutting new ones for us, and...

Well, it's that time again! We are putting together the 3rd Annual Graves Mountain rally here, looking for folks who want a nice family-oriented get-together, lots of outdoor activities at the Lodge, as well as trail rides, vending for anyone who wants to sell stuff, etc. We had a great...

I am making a run from Raleigh, NC down to Covington, GA, on March 31st to pick up some items that I can haul in my Suburban. I may be picking up a small trailer along the way for a buddy... Once I pick up the stuff in Covington, I'm headed up to Syria, VA, to deliver the stuff that I am...

I have a buddy who is in Thomson, GA (about thirty miles west of Augusta, GA) who needs to have a case of paint moved from my place in Raleigh to his location... I know that I can ship it to him, but we'd like to avoid the hazmat fees... Is anybody headed that way who could toss a case of...

Just a reminder to everyone that we will be having the East Coast Convoy to the Aberdeen (MD) MV Rally again this year. Amnon is working on updates to the ECC website, but you can go an register for the Convoy now (it's still FREE), look at some of the historical information, and see who's...

I just got my '70 AMG M816 home Saturday and it needs a little TLC (hole in the hydraulic tank and a sticking pair of brake shoes...). It's also got a little cab rust and a hole in the passenger side fuel tank, and some dead bulbs and bad grounds on the lights... Jim from Chapel Hill (who...

Does anyone remember who it was that had nice (NOS perhaps?) rear panels for the hard tops? They did not have the tops, just the rear panel with the sliding window. I have a pair or hard tops that have rust issues in the flanges where the rear panel bolts to the cab (tub) and to the top...

Yep, I know this sounds backwards to a lot of folks, but... Got a buddy who scored on a HMMWV with a blown 6.5. He then scored on a few 6.2 engines (rebuilt, HMMWV, with all the accessories on them in the can). So, we need to stick an engine into his ride. He remembers having this done...

I'm sticking this in it's own thread right now just so that it doesn't get mired in all the other info about the rally... I'm still planning on cooking... We had talked about having everyone Paypal me funds before the event so that I would have cash to go shopping, but since Paypal charges a...

A buddy of mine just won a pair of 6.2 engines in the can at Eglin and is trying to figure out if he wants to drive down and snag them or get them shipped... Anybody in the area, or headed that way, that is intested in helping to get them off base and moved to NC? If so, PM me and I'll put the...

CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — The Marines are inviting the public to help celebrate their 233rd birthday with a ceremony at Camp Lejeune. The ceremony starts at 9:30 a.m. Thursday on Liversedge Field at the Onslow County base. The event will feature a cake-cutting ceremony and procession of Marine Corps...

I thought I would post here instead of the five ton section since I think that this might affect some other sized trucks as well... The other day, I lost the air line in my XM813 that connects the firewall manifold to the air pressure guage... The speed at which I went from 120psi to 0psi was...

I know that this is the same weekend as Clinto's rally, but I thought that I would cross post it here for those folks who live near the rally site in WV who may not be able to make it to GA, but who'd still like to get out and ride... Mid-Atlantic Power Wagon Rally Wild & Wonderful West...

The M715 guys are going to get together in Sept or Oct for a ride at Uwharrie NF. They hope to get a date set in the next few weeks (no later than the end of this month). They'd like to include any of us that would be interested in ride at Uwharrie since they love MV's of all types, not just...

Spotted this on the www.ncmvpa.com website and thought that I would cross post it here in case some of the North Carolina crowd wasn't checking that site... It's close enough for me to go to, and folks who fly seem to like old MV's (and vice versa) "The Wilson 1047 Chapter of EAA is hosting a...

This was sent to the NCMVPA the other day and I thought that I would post it here for folks interested in another display opportunity in Western North Carolina... :) "The 1st Annual Saluda Fire and Rescue Car Show will be Saturday, August 30th, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Car Show will be...

I fried a control box in my XM813 the other day (not a big deal, AMGeneral was with me and we turned the knob on the injector pump and pull started it with the duece tanker and I made the five hour ride home no problems) and got to wondering who had them in stock for a good price? I talked to...

Guys, I'm looking at a pallet or two of stuff at Rock Island and was wondering if somebody is nearby that could help expedite getting them shipped down to me in Raleigh, or who could assist in getting them relayed to me at the Aberdeen Rally in May... Thanks,
