I'm putting an M66 Gun Ring on my M35A2. To what extent do the forum rules allow me to discuss the firearm to be placed there? Forum rules: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?84063-Forum-rules I'm sure I can discuss the gun cradle and costs, sources, fitment and possibly the...

I thought perhaps others would like these two PDFs for the Military Radios/Communication section of the TM library? They're not really TMs though, but Study Guides. Marine Corps Institute Single Channel Ground Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) (8.14 MB) Study Guide Aviation Radio Technician...

I just posted a new thread today in the TM Upload section: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?152655-Sincgars But I don't have permission to reply to that thread. I can start a new thread, but not reply to any. The received message when clicking on "Reply with Quote" is: Message...

So, this is big news for my work and projects. I'm sure you're already well aware of this vulnerability uncovered, but if not, and SteelSoldiers uses OpenSSL, ensure it's upgrade or every server by the webhost is configured to disable support of SSLv2. Info: Severity HIGH...

It's not as dramatic as it sounds, but the seller did say he had considered just straight up scrapping it, but thought he'd try selling it first. Hey, in Utah with the high Boy Scout population, it was a logical move. However, I want it for my own camping and not for the Boy Scouts. :) Though...

Hello, I'm just wondering what happened to my pay-it-forward thread? It was titled "FREE Misc USED small items" or something similar. It was created just before the first of January, 2016 so it shouldn't have reached the 90-day expiration yet. Edit: Here's the link...

I have two study guide books that I've had in my closet for over 12 years and I was thinking the community might be interested in here. I hate to cut up the books, but what I could do is cut off the binding then scan all the pages and offer the PDFs here. Study Guide Aviation Radio Technician...

I suppose this is a "life goal" of mine (shooting a vehicle mounted gun). More specifically, my gun, from my vehicle (I mean, I'd prefer it to be a tank but this truck is costly enough). I've had my M35A2 for 5 years now and it used to have a gun ring installed when it was in service, but I...

M103 Trailer Shock Absorbers and mount I just purchased these pair of shocks off of a Mobile Kitchen Trailer to put on my M105A2. I was wondering if anyone else has done similar. Did you keep the oil (hydraulic) shocks or did you go with a different type? The stock shock appears to be 13" from...

Gunzy did a huge favor and flat towed red's deuce to my place for easier working on and since the M816 wrecker is so close having a functional crane, but so far from road worthy - work can still continue on both trucks. His beautiful M925 looked like Santa's sleigh loping down the street...

I've just noticed this within the last couple of weeks or so. I'll post a reply to a thread and then, in a separate window, reload "Today's posts" and that thread that I'm the last poster in shows up as "Unread". Example: I would think if I am the last person to have posted in the thread that...

When the Admins get time, I would like to request that the 5-ton TM forum gets cleaned up: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/forumdisplay.php?115-5-ton-and-up-TMs There are 2 separate threads for M809 TMs: One started by sigo on 03-27-2013 and then appended to by Warthog on 03-13-2014 Another...

I had made the mistake of ASSUMING that if my deuce didn't have too much trouble running the G177s, that the much larger 5 ton M816 Wrecker would have more room. But tonight I was questioning that assumption as I took a closer look at the rear suspension and tire clearance. The truck currently...

Previously I had been aiming to go Michelin XL 11.00R20's in the rear and with Michelin XL 14.5R20 in the front (super single) on A3 wheels. Well, as most things: price, availability, and distance kept getting in the way. This past week end I was blessed to find a couple of deals for G177...

I've seen two different types lights used with towing. 1. This tow light fashion which seems to be the most common and/or standard military item: 2. Composite tail lights on large magnets (not sure how the lights were attached to the magnets and I've only seen them for sale once and I...

Years ago I saw, and saved, a single picture of someone's solution for keeping the cover for their cab's gun ring cut out "tented" so that water wouldn't pool in it and thus leak into the cab (as mine had obviously done for years before I became the owner of my truck). Inspirational photo: I...

I am looking to have my deuce's driver and passenger side windows professionally tinted. If you had your windows tinted, did you (or would you) fully remove the window from the door first? I have never been inside the doors on my truck to play with the windows, but from some reading around...

I am adding the A3 reverse lights setup to my A2. Example: Mine: If it is not too much bother, would a few of you A3 owners please be able to measure the distance from the corner of the bed to the edge of the bracket? I'm not expecting them all to be the same, but I'm just after a...

If you've seen posts of mine before, you may have seen I like to take my little dog with me on trips and parades in the deuce (where appropriate). Such as the following: The problem for me, or rather my dog Dusty, is that she bounces around and has a hard time staying on the passenger seat -...

I breathed new life into my old military elbow flashlights that used the battery sucking, incandescent light bulbs with these brighter, longer life, lower power usage, LED drop-in replacement bulbs. I should have done this years ago. I had stopped using all my old incandescent flashlights...
