Pretty trucks, are you out of the hobby for good?

Well, Saturday after serving as our range trip vehicle for a bit of Halloween shooting, we decided to use the Deuce to host Halloween in more or less and pass out candy etc. to the kids in the neighborhood. A few friends dropped by, including one of my wife's employees who's older son has...

Does anyone know how the train wreck in the above picture occurred? I've seen it a hundred times, and always wondered. Best of luck everyone with your trucks. I'm wondering when mine in my driveway will get inspected!

Cold Warrior, You might be able to look up a Museum in the area that would be willing to take it and host it in her husbands honor. It would be a worthwhile pursuit to preserve it.

I suppose the Sprag could be setup to work in all forward gears by just adjust the mechanism that decides when and where air goes, I don't think manual switches would be required. I would think a manual switch, say one for forward, and one for reverse, could result in very bad things happening...

I believe 21470 is the one I have on mine as well. Much quiter exhaust tone, but the gear noise on my M109 makes up for that. The M35A2 might get one as well, but to be honest, I wear hearing protection regardless, so it might be somewhat pointless.:-D

Too funny! :-D

NH, FMS or Foreign Military Sales already takes place before they go to GL is my understanding. Those countries find out what's coming out, and can buy or be given them, more or less before we see then. What we see or get access to have been picked over many times before.

Funny thing, my M35A2 from Frankfort is on the list as well, standard A2, WO/W. Funniest thing about it is that it's sitting in my drive way right now, I've had it now for a month or so nearly. In fact I just finished pressure washing it and touching up some paint, and it's going to be part of...

If all the pushers on this site have you considering is new tires, consider yourself extremely lucky, you have yet to start buy trucks, trailers and other gear to populate all the empty land you own. When you can one day walk across all your land without touching the ground on trucks and truck...

I watched the first video, did anyone think that the advice on the downhill loss of control wasn't so great. :cry:

IIRC it was a manually operated lift gate as well, and doesn't it have a seperate designation?

That's a good point, my dash plate says something to that effect as well. All the talk a few weeks ago about keeping RPMs down when starting had me thinking that it was a bad idea.

I had one on epay last week, but it's off to a new home now. I'll echo what cbvet says, the starters are hard to kill, check all the electrical first, the frame to engine ground etc. Any extra resistance means not enough speed to get her going. It seems the Cummins is somewhat sensitive in that...

I think it was a joke, just maybe :wink: Nice pictures, alot of neat looking trucks. Does anyone do anything like this in Ohio, I would love to take one of mine out for some country dirt road driving.

Dear Lord! Is something wrong with that truck? Not a single one of mine has ever taken that long to start, even when it's been cold outside. Someone needs to tell the guy to lay off the throttle when starting it as well! :-D

I saw the HMMWV as well, couldn't figure it out, I wonder if scrap means back to AMG for rebuild?

Good info Bjorn! I understand that gasoline burning heaters were pretty common not to long ago, I hate to think what one of these might turn into if it doesn't start up correctly, or if something else goes amiss.

Will do Area, I meant to during the installed, but it's easy to see.

First off, no pictures yet guys, I was just working to get it done, and I'll take pictures of the final installation. First off, I was using the standard M35A2 kit to do the work, so various brackets etc didn't function in the 5-ton, but for the most part everything worked with minimal...
