    Website issues

    Attention Steelsoldiers members, we're currently having a DNS issue with our ISP. The website is intermittently working right now. We're working to resolve the issue. There's nothing wrong with the site, just the backend of the internet basically lost the server's "phone number" if you will.

    Reduction of forum sections

    I want to toss this out for discussion by not only the staff, but also our users. We've simply got way too many forum sections on the board. I'd like to collapse a few things. I'm not looking for discussion/debate on opening MORE forums or moving certain discussions out of forums. Just...

    M939 to A1 status

    Is there a speedo corrector like the deuce and a half has for 9.00 to 11.00 tires? I'm in the process of uplifting my 931 to a 931A1 and want to get the speedo right on it if I can.

    M871 trailer - RECOVERY

    Last Thursday I recovered my M871 that I won from GSA. I had Corey (ca1517) as my co-pilot. Learned that one should NEVER try to fill up at a walmart gas station. (Bad pump, massive traffic, ended up jumping the curb just to get out of there since a semi pulled in and blocked everyone) I...

    M871 trailer with S280 shelter, anyone have pics?

    So I've got a M871 trailer (Recovery thread to be posted today, when my wife drops off my cell phone). I'm looking at a S280 shelter or an expanding unit I've found. I know the M871 trailer is setup for ISO containers (20ft). But do any of the locking rings and such work with a S280 sized...

    DOT 5 not required - M931 recovery

    Went down to Papabear's today to ride in the veterans day parade and pick up my M931. Last night I rushed to load up my jeep with all the tools and materials I might need. Ended up just checking over everything and airing up the tires for the drive home. I had to laugh a bit at myself. I've...

    Short notice - Anything from CAMO (Columbus, GA) needing to head north?

    I'm picking up my 931 tomorrow from PB. I'll be heading back home so if something needs to go north, I should be able to haul it. (So long as it's not a vehicle) I work once a week in Smyrna so it would help someone get something close to Atlanta. I will check the thread before I leave in...

    Weird event in the deuce today - Stuck in gear?

    So I was leaving out from a person's house today. His driveway was pretty hilly/rocky. I had the t-case in low range since I didn't want to head up it too fast. (Driveway surface slanted at about a 35 degree angle and I had crap in the bed of the deuce) I was in 1st gear as well. I went to...
