Guys... I need to know who wants spaces for this year in the SS group!!
Really need to know by Jan 25 if possible. Preference will be given to the guys from last year first.
Some of you already know.... I lost the transfer-case in the M1009 this week. It got really bad friday morning, on my way to work. Wouldnt even stay in gear hardly anymore, and it was all I could do to get it to work.
So..... Today me & the 19 month old took the deuce to go tow it home. I...
Since I know how everyone loves pics.... heres a few of yestardays adventures. I will link in a couple vids when they upload too.
I had to go to my uncles cabin about 1.25 hours away. My TD6 Bulldozer is down there, and it needed its starter put back in, and some minor maintenance. The dozer...
Was cleaning up pics from the past year.... and found one that we took of my deuce right before we left for Aberdeen last spring...
Probably the best pic I have of it!
Guys, please come into chat, and lets discuss the design of the watermark. I really want to hear some ideas, and get a good one worked out.
You will have to enter the Mess Tent, and then switch rooms....
I want everyone to know, I lost a lot of sleep over this last night. It really upset me that people didnt feel I added the watermark with the best intentions for the site. With the amount of time that I put into the site, it just felt like a slap in the face in regards to my judgement. After...
Guys, I am going to take a hiatus from the site for a few days. It has occurred to me that I need to spend more time with my family. I waste a lot of time working on new features for this site, and just trying to keep up day to day. I spent many hours on Friday (like most of my entire day)...
I am proud to announce that I just made the 'auto-resizing' work on the forum!!!
Even if an image is uploaded that is too large, it should automatically size it down. Enjoy!!
Guys, I have listed a complete brand new exhaust for a M1009 in the classifieds..

Took some vids in the deuce today... Sorry about the quality, they are from my phone :-)
you will need quicktime to see them, and it might be best to right click, and save them to your computer. The first one is rather large, at 60 meg or so, but its also like 35 minutes long!

I spent this weekend getting hte deuce ready for the trip to Aberdeen. Among the things done....
-Flushed Cooling System
-Pressure washed about 20 years of slime off the engine
-Added the 3rd battery to the box for my 12v system
-Evicted a family of mice from the air cleaner
-Fixed (and broke)...
Guys, we seem to be straying from our 'topic at hand' a lot more recently. I just wanted to take a minute and remind everyone, lets try to remember what we are here for. We are not a Gun Forum, a Political Forum, or even a Joke Forum for that matter... We are a Military Vehicle Forum. Lets...
Due to my forgetfulness, as well as the fact I have been collecting 'junk' over the past year... Could anyone how is bringing something to Aberdeen for me, please drop me a PM to remind me? I am trying to plan my space, so I can be sure to have enough room for everything. I remember most of...
Made a side trip up to Boyce on this adventure out to Utah. I talked with Mark for a little bit, and he said they are gonna scrap some things in the yard. From what I see, most of what he is going to scrap, probably isnt worth much. The key points though, are he said he is getting rid of...
Does anyone know of a TM or MWO or such that shows how to put the tie downs in the deuce bed? I have seen them on quite a few trucks... but I would like to do it the 'correct' spacing...
I know its last minute.... but will anyone be passing near Colemans on their way to Jim Thorpe? I have some things stored at a fellow members place that I need to get moved to to Jim Thorpe for me to pick up this weekend. Basically its 10 Mermite cans, and 2 10 gallon stainless steel...
PLEASE do NOT use the [IMG] tags for posting images. I have a few reasons:
-some image hosting sites are blocked by some peoples provider (usually work/school)
-they may load slower than SS!!!
-They may be larger in size than the format we prefer here
-We will always have them here regardless...
We got about 1 foot of snow overnight, and a reasonable amount more during the day today. Attached are some crappy cell phone pics, and links to cell phone video....
