Indeed, some hard working little gems they are! As I recall, their motive power could be anything from a tracked vehicle, a heavy truck, or anything other motorized pulling unit. In a pinch, locally "borrowed" work animals could also be hitched - horses, mules, oxen, elephant - depending on...

WOW..... It really WILL buff out !!! :clinto:

Once again, RULES are created because SOMBODY screwed it up for the rest of the population. If Eve and Adam had not partaken of the forbidden fruit, women would not have the pains of childbirth, Cain and Abel would have always gotten along, and the world would look like the Garden of Eden even...

Sweet!

There's nuttin' like multi-species Public Housing. We can only presume that NONE of them were paying rent, huh? Wondering if your "charity" housing arrangement will net you any extra votes.

Others have already rendered excellent wisdom to you. I have nothing else to add but this.... I see this is your very first post, soooooo...... Welcome aboard :D Find a bunk, stow your gear, and prepare to get underway :driver: This website has much to offer. Grab some coffee and enjoy the...

WARNING: Please DO NOT make this a POLITICAL thread. Government ops (or in-ops) YES;....... Politics NO! OK, that being said, I went to check some GSA Auctions this evening and got this notification: I suppose we'll just have to go shopping with the privateers. BAM! The doors have...

Ref the line above that's been made large and BOLD... Nor does "it" allow any State to negate it's own participation in the standing RECRIPROCITY AGREEMENT between ALL 50 STATES to honor the LAWS of the State in which a vehicle is LEGALLY registered whenever said vehicle is operated in their...

Choosing the best of the best is going to be tough. I think I'm going to take a knee and pray before casting my vote. We have almost 2-1/2 weeks to consider the candidates. I hear the Jeopardy Theme Song!!!

I had seen that auction offering and hoped that a SteelSoldier would snag it and save it. Congratulations! It's good to hear that you have big plans for such a worthy old MV. Carry on.

I find that quite curious. Can you confirm that this applies to towed vehicles of the size/weight of Deuces and 5-Tons, or is it just smaller classes such at passenger vehicles? Thank you.

Hmm. Is this the only law for which you seem to have total disregard? As I recall, the SS website rules discourage (prohibit) posts about circumventing LAWS. I believe that if you check the laws in your state, you'll find out the "rules of the game" in which you seek to play. Just sayin'...

Very nice! And YES it is indeed much more affordable on a GREEN IRON ADDICT'S budget.

And I think it DOES! As I recall... In my "pre-flight" testing when I recovered our M818, I hooked up the air hoses from the back of the Deuce to the front of the M818, then pulled forward and used the brakes while still on gravel and dirt. She stopped very nicely. I did it again once I was...

Are y'all trying to tell us: "What happens in the back of a 5-Ton stays in the back of a 5-Ton?" Hmmmm..... God's watching you! roflrofl

And once again we're finding that there are as many opinions as there are people who have them. For the time being, I am content with an M35A2 and an XM818 in our motorpool, complimented by an M105 and a 220KAK (1960 vintage 26' Box Van Trailer - pre-sea container dry good hauler). They have...
