Blow the man down My first camper was placed on this spot over a decade ago. It's just a juicy reminder to pick your camping locations with horse shoes shoved up the decision as far as possible. No humans were around to hear it fall but I'm guessing the camper screamed a little. This...

Dot 5 and older seals Guys guys guys, we need to talk. Gander the M135 was re-built over a decade ago and we're lucky enough to tear it down after the MC started leaking recently. The rubber seals on the MC that was rebuilt with Dot 5 were softened and friable. They'd fall apart when touched...

It certainly is a short, light beginning to being on tracks using the Bren/ Universal Carrier as a platform. When it's no longer reasonable to make them pure, might as well make them roll. With the jeep engine set up and all the armor it weighed in around the 8000lb mark so a Bobcat trailer can...

It's a good thing you mentioned fire because we don't talk about those little "pre-work" preparations enough. Whenever I'm working with gas the fire extinguisher, bucket of water and one of our best towels sits next to the truck. A wet towel for the carb when it starts on fire and a fire...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers and 302 troubleshooting. I got 4 of them started so I have all kinds of ideas that usually don't work but I maintain enthusiasm and that's how you beat these trucks. Troubleshooting the problem should start at top dead centre and being sure the distributor is in the...
