If you are really interested in becoming a ham radio operator, do it the right way. Find a local club in your area (they are everywhere) at arrl.org. Go to a meeting or two, and just start talking with other hams. Next, study for and take the technician class operator exam. There are 8 year...

If you can't find one, perhaps it can be fabricated?

I remember CARNAC calling me one time on his trip to Aberdeen, he lost 5 out of 6 lug nuts on the front of his deuce, the studs just broke right off. I believe the previous guy with the impact wrench just went to town and left the 1" impact on them for a few hours or so. Someone local was able...

Looks awesome! Love that camo pattern!

That's a very cool ride. Love the Aperture Science stencil! For those who don't know, it's a reference to a fictitious company in the video game Portal and Portal 2.

If you're feeling froggy, and you want to restore it like a field-service MV, the CJ-5 was used in the field by numerous other countries. Here's one that was fixed up as a faux-Israeli Defense Force CJ-5 jeep by HAWKMAN, he brought it to the Gilbert PA show in 2009 and it looked sharp!

I like that trailer, can't wait to see it all finished!

Very cool ride, Brandon! Subscribed, I wanna see the progress as this goes along...

Not this time, I have to work this weekend. But maybe for April. Are you mostly meeting 2nd Saturday in the month, or the first? Reason I ask is because 2nd Saturday in April is the Rausch Creek SS rally, I'll be at that.

PM sent to him, thanks bigugh20!

There was a guy here a while back, maybe a year or so ago, who was located near Portsmouth and he was in the Coast Guard Reserve. Said he could get in, pickup from GL, and get off base in a matter of minutes, since he had a Reservist ID and just got waved in. I think he had a 5-ton M923 or...

Interesting resto you have going on - subscribed! I wanna see this thing all made green and happy again. Everyone loves a Gama Goat. Noone can really explain why to any great degree of satisfaction, but they love them anyways.

A vise is not a hydraulic press. It can hold things tightly, but that jaw wasn't designed to be used under extreme pressure.

I always tape the glass when painting. Just habit. I know for military vehicles, if it looks too nice, it's not original, but that's what I get for starting out as a teenager with a bunch of muscle-car guys. When they repainted a car they wanted it to look SCHWEET....

Was at the show 3 hours. Took 8 hours round trip to get there. Dead tired when I got home. Gas money for the trip: $75. Entry cost for 2 people: $10. Items purchased at the show: $21. Overall benefit to start out the year at the first decent show and get to see a bunch of my friends -...

Yes, I will be there for a few hours on Saturday. See ya there, Ollie!

Love the LeTourneau scraper setup! Those are few and far between anymore, like anything LeTourneau - as time goes on, they are just fading away...

I voted for Lawrence of Arabia's cherry picker truck. Everyone has a nice deuce and 5-ton these days. I fully subscribe to the old Hot Rod Magazine's slogan that was popular in the early 90s, "Dare to be Different." LoA has done that by restoring something that most folks would pass over.

Stretch picked up one from me in 2009 with his pickup, bought in VA and towed all the way back to OH. He said the trip was...interesting...
