I remember reading about 4 of your truck builds in Four Wheeler magazine - 2 were the War Wagon (both configurations of it), 1 was the faux-HET build, and 1 was the Scorpion. I think this will become the 5th. :)

He has other texts of lots of other models of WWII and post-WWII armor, and how many are left and where they are. After looking through them, however, it seems that the only ones photographed are either in govt. museums, acting as gate guards to military installations, displayed at VFW and...

This guy did a pretty good job of tracking down as many as he could for this "how many survive?" text. I'm sure there are some that missed his research, but suffice to say this is the lion's share of them.

Ditto what the above said. We need to know what you threw in the tanks, and the noises/smells/sights that you experienced when you last tried to start it up. Only then can we help you.

Anyone? And yes, LOGSA has it, but not for the majority of us.

Need any of the following parts manuals for M101 105mm howitzer, in .pdf form: TM 9-1015-203-20P TM 9-1015-203-34P Anyone have a copy? Can't find it anywhere online.

See? That's what you get for making the truck too purdy - now you don't wanna use it! :)

Ironic thing is, we're the only ones that get filmed extensively by other park-goers when we show up! But yes, we do get twice the blame due to our size, and the Jeepers can't get by us.

I owned two replicas made from real parts, at $1K each. They were worth the money, and I have since sold them to someone else for their gun truck project. However, I will say that I used them for display purposes only, and when I buy a new set, they will be the airsoft replicas. They are...

shenk, Because of the race last April, we were only able to do the East side of the road, which costs extra for those driving. Might want to do the west side this time, it has lots more acreage anyways to explore. There are also some green trails that we don't often hit on the West side, some...

Nice CUCV, Dudley, sure looks like a keeper to me!

In the past it was pretty much every man for himself cooking. Some groups were formed. Whatever you want to do, is good. I plan on bringing my own...

I have always argued that the decision to replace the jeep, a 1/4-ton vehicle, with the HMMWV, a 5/4-ton vehicle, was misguided. Yes, the HMMWV is a great vehicle, and I think it's place in the US inventory, as far as a size of vehicle, is secure. However, I believe that a small, lightweight...

The trailer I would be making would necessitate a single axle that can hold 5,000 lbs easily at road speeds. I prefer these trailer axles because the 9.00x20 tires would be rather cheap compared to a similar sized commercial truck tire, or going bigger to the 11.00x20. Thanks for the input...

Might have a need for a heavy trailer axle for a future project build, would like a trailer axle that uses 9.00x20 tires on the end. That pretty much limits it to the following trailers: M105 cargo, M332 ammo, M200 and M353 genset carrier. Each of these uses these size tires. However, due to...

The bumper fits the Marine Corps MTVR 7-ton truck. The bumper is upside down from how it normally goes.

Amer-team: I think towing it to Bremerton is out. Good idea, but no. :) Lotsa aircraft carriers stored in Bremerton to play around, but I think the tow there would be very expensive. Last time it was towed, was to a local shipyard a couple years back, to repair and repaint the hull. One...

I've driven many miles in my deuces on tires made in the 1960s and 1970s. Never once thought of a blowout, but maybe I should have, and made a concerted effort to put a newer tire on the front side. Glad you're okay.

You don't have to paint, there is a list hundreds of items long, some important, some not, that are listed to get done this work weekend. Cleaning and polishing, welding, fixing general items, wiring and electrical, woodworking, even just running back and forth (sorry, fore and aft) from the...
