As I was staring at it in the rearview for 11 hours I had a hard time imagining it in anything other than OD. I like the way tan looks on MV's but except for one restoration I've never seen an M38 in tan. I don't know if I could do it...

I don't want to restore this to be a show piece so I won't feel bad about driving it. However, I don't want to get silly with it. It's mechanically very sound, just needs a new wheel cylinder. Hopefully I can get it done this week and start driving it to work. Beyond that, it does need paint...

It came with all the original brackets for a GI canvas top so if I wanted change it I could.

So, I embarked on an M38 adventure this weekend. I had no intention of adding to the livery so soon to my next PCS, but after talking to the former owner of this sweet little Jeep I couldn't resist. A little history; I have always loved Jeeps, from as early as I can remember flat fender Willys...

Shoot! I was going to be back in MI for the TOM show in Jun and I'll be gone again by August. Anyone doing the trail ride at Custer? Is there a site with more info?

Bushman, nice work. Can you post a closeup of the driverside spotlight? I'm interested in how you have that mounted.

TeH, Again it's the same for us. If I, as a commander order a Soldier to drive a vehicle he is not licensed and trained to operate then I am assuming the risk. Any decent commander will take responsibility for such an action. Techno in the post above posted a photo of our "pig snout". The one he...

Not true for the US Army. Commanders let training standards slip and Leaders that do not have the authority to license Soldiers often do so anyway, but the standard remains that every Soldier is supposed to go through drivers training for every type of vehicle they are licensed on. The way our...

I have uploaded the instructions for installation of cab reinforcement kit 5705616. The cab plate mounted on the rear wall designed for M44 series vehicles (M35A2, M35A3), abd M809 series vehicles.

In this case MWO= Modification Work Order.

It's even tilted a bit when towed with a deuce. It's a pain to back up too. You also won't have much room for error when it starts to turn on you. Hard to see it back there as well. Bring some dunnage to put under the tongue jack wheel, it doesn't crank out enough to raise it up to truck pintle...

1850 gal. Almost 8 tons just in water. What does all the gear weigh on top of the water weight? Have you used it off road yet? I'm curious how she performs with that much weight, and how it holds up over time. Military trucks are definitely underrated. There are lots of good threads on brush...

Is that platform also the fuel tank? We've got some with twin 5 kw's mounted on that kind of platform. Very cool setup. I like that trailer too.

From the look of the hood that appears to be the 923. How's she running in neg 25?

edit... All of the above, I was just late. Bed, door and windshields will fit. I believe the battery box will fit, but I haven't seen one in years so I won't confirm it.

I have two size 34 red tops for the 24v and one other larger battery for the 12v (gp31 maybe?). They fit just fine. I have them blocked in with some wood. I'll have to engineer a hold-down, but I think I might replace the 12v battery first- probably with a yellow top. Cost is higher than...

I replaced my two batteries that have been giving me fits for months with two optima red tops. I've had to slave my deuce the last few times I started her because the old batteries wouldn't hold a charge. Now she fires up in seconds. What a difference a couple of fresh batteries make. I capped...

BARCs were later designated LARC-LX.

VAA= Vehicular Amplifier Adaptor. Yes it's the two shelf radio thingy. I saw that radio trainer for sale and I wondered, who used these things? They weren't used at the Signal school, or if they were it was in very limited numbers, and then they weren't used to train the Soldiers that work on...
