    2014 Ga. Rally volunteers needed

    Even better, provided that people take the time to drop their copies off. since this will be my first attendance, no idea how often people run along the registration area. We probably should combine ideas here to make sure that we get everything in one place.

    Rideshare to GA Rally- Texas and potentially other states................

    Anybody of the JanKees' need a driver or co-driver to get a vehicle down to the GA rally? I would like to be in D-Town Tuesday already, but would love to spend some days on the road getting there; the farther the better. No problem driving alone; I am used to it and love it. :tank: :tank...

    2014 Ga. Rally volunteers needed

    High quality jpg pics take about 3 Mb, raw format about 6 mb. Looking at my collection, 100 GB would almost certainly be enough for whatever we shoot together in pics and video. Laptops should have enough room but tablets and most simple flash drives not. Quick calculation: you would need 20...

    2014 Ga. Rally volunteers needed

    I have an old DCR-HC85E using mini-DVs in avi and a newer Sony SR10 with hard drive shooting in mts. With PP CS6, I can copy from the SR10 and capture into PP from the Sony 85E. The only problem sometimes is with this specific Sony mts format; you have to watch your project settings to make...

    Official 2014 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR14 thread

    OK, lets be a clear on this. Unless finalizing last year's project goes horrible wrong, its 80% sure I will be attending. If nothing else, I will be flying into Atlanta on Tuesday, spend the whole time at the rally, and flying back next Monday. I try to extend it and have some other fun as...

    2014 Ga. Rally volunteers needed

    :ditto: Same here, I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS 6. What about collecting/copying all raw video and digital pics during the Rally onto one hard drive, so everybody who wants it can get it copied already there? I will be bringing my laptop with PP and also a 1 TB portable hard drive.

    Installing bed on tractor

    We need lots of pics and description of how you do the switch back and forth once everything is ready. Are you going for a "static" shift that only can be done home or some kind of trick to switch the bed and the fifth wheel as it were "in the field". I am doing the same with a dump bed - fifth...

    Official 2014 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR14 thread

    I would have expected much more jeep-like vehicles. Jeeps, Dodge WCs and CUCVs together are 36, same as the deuces. Given the fuel consumption and other considerations, having 36 deuces and 26 5-tons at a rally is an amazing result.

    MV of the Month Nominations - August

    Shoot, I just had the words flowing from my keyboard. Now I have to remember them for later. At least this bumps the thread again.

    Going back in Forum Time

    So how can we make sure that info pops up easier? Buried is not a good state of being in. And please don't say "search function". With so many threads using so much words repeatedly, you have to be a search engine black hat to get really to the deep buried stuff. Maybe we should start include...

    Troop transport trailer

    Don't know if it will work legally, but the trailer would have forward-facing seats and you could even include seat belts. Troop transport carriers always face sidewards without seat belts. My first idea was to stick to the 12 people max, but make a special extra floor with forward -facing seats...

    Troop transport trailer

    I showed this one as example, I was hoping the US military would have used something similar to transport troops so I could use that documentation to convince DoT here that such things do/did exist.

    Troop transport trailer

    I know the military had trailers to transport troops, even two-stories high from WW II. I could not find documentation and trailer identification on newer, post WW II versions. Any idea? I saw this one a few months ago at a small historic air show and it clicked. Getting permission to...

    Oddball deuce or?????

    Kaiser bought Willey's but kept the names separate until 1963. Don't know when Kaiser started building Deuces but a Kaiser Deuce theoretically should be possible if built before 1963. The Dutch DoT had probelems with my Kaiser Jeep Corporation also; they thought to see a jeep and were quite...

    2014 Ga. Rally volunteers needed

    Sorry guys but 1) I am not a Czech and my knowledge of the language is not that great. I speak it by now ok but grammatically wrong but still have a very limited word knowledge (I don't understand half of what they are saying here). I can get it translated here without problem, Oli and I are a...

    2014 Ga. Rally volunteers needed

    As I said, I just have the equipment, not that much of a photographer as in knowing the tricks of the camera in and out, like white balance. No filters or other lenses (no $$ for it). However, in general, the D90 does a good enough job when at automatic. My biggest problem is that I forget to...
