    s280 shelter questions

    3/4” plywood placed on top will solve the floor issues, unless you want to tear it up and restore it. I did that to mine and not only did it solve the floor issue, the wood provided a warm feel to the shelter. Hard to explain, but once you do it, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.

    FORSCOM? Not exactly sure on that part.

    M149A1 Water Buffalo with A2 Tank.

    Paintwork was started a few days ago before the weather became lousy. Good now but no time to work on it. Tongue jack/wheel and wheels were painted flat black. Primer job is almost complete. Fenders will have to be removed when I’m ready to paint tank. All parts ordered are in. Still...

    Losing fuel prime many things done already, still won't run unless bled

    If he hasn’t replaced all the rubber fuel hose on the truck yet, then everything else is a waste of time until that’s done.

    M1008 acquisition and restore

    Looks like a good stock example. Shame it’s not going to stay that way. Good Original trucks are getting harder to find and are worth the most money. Modified ones are a dime a dozen.

    Turn signal switch guard?

    Agree with the above post. One day it will break. When we do a public event with the helicopters, we no longer allow anyone, kids and adults, to sit in the cockpit seats. Even when your standing there and telling them not to touch any switches, they would do it anyway. Finally, after an...

    Receiver Hitch Mount

    Draw-Tire, Valley, Curt, Reese are all made in China now. B&W is still USA made and are simply the best, in my opinion. https://www.bwtrailerhitches.com/product/heavy-duty-receiver-hitch I just installed one of their gooseneck hitches on my new 3500HD Chevrolet. You can see it just above...

    M149A1 Water Buffalo with A2 Tank.

    I saw the same thing in the pic and went up to the barn and looked at it. It’s the angle of the pic, plus the slight tilt of the trailer giving it that effect.

    Custom Security System

    The use of train horns is illegal in most states. Unless on a real train of course. If someone wants it bad enough, they will take it. Knowing where it went is the key. GPS trackers are worthless inside warehouses/buildings. LoJack is probably your best bet. The hidden kill switch is my...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Yes we did! It was packed as usual, but not nearly the crowd when you and I met there during your Route 66 convoy stop. The locals still talk about that.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Changed the engine oil and oil filter, air filter and fuel filter. Mobil1 Delvac and Wix filters. Cleaned windows and inside of CUCV. Was a bit dusty. Then took the puppy dogs with me to go get a Coke.
