    PA - Spring 2015 Rausch Creek Steel Soldiers Rally

    Whatever date you come up with, I'm there. Haven't missed an RC rally yet, not going to start. I'm in, arriving Friday late afternoon, tentatively.

    baby HEMTT Project

    Perhaps send a PM to M920, Soni just finished building a 6x6 version of the HEMTT, perhaps he might be interested in adding a 4x4 to his fleet! He's located in northern NM.

    Red Ball Militaria and MV Parts Swap Meet - Jim Thorpe PA March 7, 2015

    For those who have never been to this event, it's really a one day indoor parts swap meet, about the size of a fire hall type event. There are no vehicles on display anywhere, but if you want to drive to the event in your MV, that's fine, just it's a parking lot not a display area. Noone is...

    Official 2015 Military Transport Association of NJ Show & Swap Meet 4/18-19

    Not sure if I'll be there - I'd love to but it depends on a few things going on this Spring. How late can we get spots there? I might not know if I'm going for sure until 2-3 weeks before the event....

    Ok, I can't find it. What is this trailer?

    Confirmed, it's in south Indianapolis. Great deal for $1,200, hope someone here can save it and give a new paint job and maybe trailer decking.

    Ok, I can't find it. What is this trailer?

    If you own a deuce, this is NOT the trailer you want to buy to haul stuff around on. Way too much weight in the ass end to be pulling. 5-ton truck at the minimum. Also, the deck is very high - not recommended for using as a vehicle hauler, the center of gravity would be very high, and prone...

    2015 Aberdeen and Findlay shows -SAME DAYS!

    By no means can you not get deals later on. I've gotten deals on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and in one case even Sunday before I rolled out. Some guys mark stuff down later in the show because they don't want to take stuff home, especially the heavier stuff. Plus the auction on...

    2015 Aberdeen and Findlay shows -SAME DAYS!

    Hoping less people means more deals at the show! At least, if you're buying you think that way - but if you're selling, it might not be the best thing....

    Vietnam Deuce bumper-mounted wire cutter?

    Never seen it on bigger trucks. Only jeeps. And as late as Grenada in 1983.

    OMG HMMWVs FOR SALE

    I wonder what color is should be painted? Green, green, or green?

    How to make HMMWV street legal.

    Not really. The only difference is, WE as taxpayers pay their hourly fees. :) No, 4,000 surplussed HMMWVs is a gift. But the 25 that are listed is a nice start!

    How to make HMMWV street legal.

    Thanks, Al. It does make sense. Bottom line is, the process is fine for all those who are honorable and going to play by the rules. Time would tell if the "good faith agreements" are honored along the way, those who are going to break the rules will always screw the system up. My opinion...

    How to make HMMWV street legal.

    That brings another question: Granted, you sign a statement saying that you acknowledge that the vehicle is being sold for non-road use only. Legally, you are obligated to comply with that agreement, whether you like it or not. HOWEVER, does this agreement carry to the next owner, i.e. if you...

    New Member with 1955 GMC 424V

    That's a neat looking truck. I'd get the deuce bows and cover for the bed, repaint in 24087 olive drab, and proper lettering on the DOOR (not the hood, only M-series vehicles get hood markings). That would really look sharp!
