    Project Ferro Navy M37

    Well crud! I'm subscribed now, but not liking it. I hate the fact that Adams M-37 is going to be nicer then mine. I hate the fact that anyones M-37 is nicer then mine!!!!! Nice work, as usual. Adam is going to be proud! I'll bring an old school paddle, and if Adam gets that one in the mud...

    MKT: Mobile Kitchen Trailer - Checklist and Guide

    What a fantastic idea! There was a local school that had all the canning equipment in a nearby county. They would host people from all over Middle Ga and allow them to use the facilities for a minimal fee on an appointment basis. It was so much better then heating up the home kitchen in the...

    Medium Tow bar attachment questions ??

    Not sure of the M715, but on many of these smaller vehicles, always check around the axles for brake lines hidden behind, as the chains will cut them in half when going down the road. The tech manual says to remove the clips holding the brake lines to the axle, and slide the chains inside...

    Mep's no longer being auctioned by gov?

    Some have been removed from the sale, after bids were made last Thursday. They were low hour generators. I was bidding on one (10KW) with 8 hours out of Jacksonville and it was pulled. Not sure what is going on, but some are definitely disappearing.

    So, what's the one thing you'd change?

    OK, I really don't want to read all these pages. I read two. If this is a repeat, just delete it. ON pictures. The old version allowed multiple picture downloads simultaneously. The newer version allows one at a time. The newer version automatically downsizes the picture if it is to big, which...

    M105 Big Wheel Vs Small Wheel landing gear

    All the above, plus... The large wheel is hollow. It rusts. It sits on the ground day in and day out. I have received several that have rusted through the thin wall with small to medium sized pit holes. You don't want to put a lot of weight on something that is rusting to the point where there...

    Anyone using an MEP-803a as a whole house backup?

    You have the fluke 43b and are asking us??? Now that's funny. Yes, I had the hard start capacitor installed in my A/C unit when it started "acting up" on the start. They can help. Not sure why they don't just come stock that way. Saved me a ton of money on repairs, or replacing, the compressor...

    Anyone using an MEP-803a as a whole house backup?

    I'm all electric in my house. One A/C for upstairs, one for down. The hot water heater is a hog and if I ever go propane it is the first to go. I need a 10kw, have two 5kw units, and am looking to upgrade. In my case, a 5 kW is good for lights and fridge. I wouldn't try to run any heat off of...

    Repairing Trailer canvas tears

    Thanks for the tip. My findings are, the HH-66, as expensive as it is, is only a 1/2 step above regular heavy duty pvc adhedsive after the first use, so it isn't practical to buy really big cans for the cost savings of doing so. I will try Pliobond next and report on a comparison. The 303...

    Repairing Trailer canvas tears

    It seems more and more trailers are coming in with torn sheets off the back and front. Gimpy once said, at a Ga. Rally years ago, UV is the culprit, and it eats the threads. I'm more than convinced at this time, seeing over a dozen torn off front or back sheets on these trailer canvas covers. I...

    Trailer stake problem

    Oh crud. I was writing the post above when you came in with the answer, or solution. Please post pics of the "flat piece of steel" and how you opened it with the flat piece. Did you just hit it with it in the hole, side to side, rather then downward, as you would with a wedge? You can help...

    Trailer stake problem

    It is a common problem, and there are several threads on this, one that I started, but no problem. You can just run a sawzall down the middle of the stake bottom, squeeze, then insert. You will have to run the cut line the full length of the bottom rail of the side rails. There are other ways...

    Fuel Gauge Question

    Hey Roger, So I'm sending out a confirmed good fuel gauge. Please return when done as it completes my Instrument panel. I agree with those above, you likely have a bad ground somewhere. Make sure you Instrument panel is grounded with an alligator clipped wire if you have it removed when testing...

    Fuel Gauge Question

    Or, PM me your address. I'll pull one off one of my instrument clusters and you can test it to see if there is a difference. You can just send it back when done.

    151 stuck

    That girl Rocks! Wish my Dad had a jeep I could go out and "test drive" when I was her age. From the looks of things, either she didn't have the lights on, or, she was taking it out for a REAL test drive. I got a feeling that girl isn't afraid of nothing. Bravo!

    Official Deuce Aftermarket Wheel Thread

    OK, so I'm bringing this thread back to the top, due to three members consideration. Firstly, gringletube recommended it. Next, I wanted to throw in an atta-boy for two top notch vendors on the 395 85 20 tire MRAP adapters to make the wheel fit the deuce on the 10 lug to 6 lug conversion, or...
