    Thoughts on Paint For a Barn Jeep

    Current paint is in poor condition, I will try and get hood numbers and pictures. We know it left the factory green. The only evidence we have is that behind the glove box the firewall is still green. Otherwise it is ALL blue. Not sure about the transfered to USAF from another branch. It...

    Thoughts on Paint For a Barn Jeep

    Guys (and gals), My good friend has gotten around to returning his "barn find" M-38 jeep to working order. This jeep is all original, it came from Dobbins AFB in Marietta, Ga. Still has the hood numbers, and contract status on the doors. It is NOT marked USAF. It has the original metal top...

    transport pictures

    Lets see.... M-37 with M-101, Barn Find, transported behind Squirt on HC18 trailer. Lil-Pick-up and the Mule on the HC18. Da GOAT Da Loader, and yes the HC18 was about 10,000 overloaded (oops). Lets not go into some of the other trailer adventures.

    Transfer Case options???

    Yep, simple air interrupt will place the 5-ton transfer front axle in netural. THe only advantage to haveing a non-sprag case is in SEVERE off-road use such as tree crossing. Otherwise it is superior to a full lock case in that you have 6x on demand and can operate on hard surfaces with a...

    M54 top speed

    Amer- What will the engine turn sitting still in netural? If it will not go over 2300 then you have a gov. issue, not fuel. If it goes to 2600 to 2800 then not the govenor. OR If you do not like the thought of turning it up sitting, run it through the lower gears and see what it will turn...

    Official 2010 SS Ga Rally Info thread

    Count me in on the keeping the date. We still plan on making a recon trip to determine just what is available. Some of the areas that we went into in 2008 were ....... interesting to say the least. If Mike gives us access to the "new" park and even limited access to the old park then we age...

    deuce and 10,000 pounds

    Since you are local to me and my company, we investigate accidents and such, if you decide to do this that will make you a prime candidate to be a new client. DON'T DO IT.......Like Clinto said, it is to easy to make the brakes work.

    Peppy Deuce

    Way to much smoke, twisted to tight. But then it is his toy and his to do with has he wishes. He did handle the truck well, and our offroad experience says the NDCC tires in this application will out-perform the XL's or any single tire for that matter. They are only better when not breaking...

    Loading the deuce

    That up & up & up & up, really has the pucker factor going. But you seem to have sufficient assistance. That is a lot of trailer and with the deuce way over the rated load for that 350. Good luck with the repairs and PMCS.

    M54 top speed

    Amer-Team Well..You have an A2 with the -1A engine. That truck is rated to run 52 MPH at 2600, which is loaded max RPM. That engine should turn close to 2800 unloaded. At 2200 or better RPM is should not smoke except on hard pulls. Lil-Squirt will run 52 MPH all day, canvas on or off, towing...

    GA MVPA Spring Rally Cleveland/Helen GA 7-8 May 2010

    OOPS me again, I like the ride into Helen, they got an attitude with us some years ago because we did not represent what the "town" wanted. I say it is a public road, should be fun to put a lot of green and bigger green in town, expecially as a group........

    GA MVPA Spring Rally Cleveland/Helen GA 7-8 May 2010

    Sounds like mules will be display at the resort only, otherwise we have to triler them to the trails and if we use forest service roads then we stand the chance of being fined. FS roads require tagged vehicles, done been through that.

    XM818 vs M818

    Read the plates closer. The XM is within 100# w/out winch so it is actually higher considering.

    Water Pump Pulley

    Guys (gals), I am in need of a water pump pulley for an LDT/LDS engine. Not the pump, just the pulley. We are in the middle of a test project and need a replacement pulley. Who may have one or where may I secure one. As always the help is appreciated. Mark

    GA MVPA Spring Rally Cleveland/Helen GA 7-8 May 2010

    Confirm that the rally is on Friday and Saturday? Is trail ride and such on Friday (tough for working persons) or Saturday? Do these people realize that some of us like to trail ride with items larger than a Jeep? We are planning to be there but please give us some more info. Mark
