    M813a1 advantages over a m925?

    A straight 925 when compared against a M813 comes out on top in my opinion. The only advantage the M813 might have is it's a manual transmission (if you prefer a manual), and some parts may (just guessing on parts availability) be more readily available. I have found a source for anything I need...

    Towing a deuce??

    My Dodge PW (2500) is rated to tow 10,000 lbs, and I understand Power wagons are rated for less than diesel 2500s. What's your 250 rated for? I'm guessing it close to what you're looking to tow. Look at what you're rated for, look at any upgrades or preparation to mitigate your risk, then make...

    m35a3 engine colors

    That does seem like the better explanation considering most of the A3's weren't in service lone enough to get a replacement engine.

    m35a3 engine colors

    I had always understood that green engines were original and yellow were replacements. I know when I was a motor officer (XO) replacement engines would usually be rebuilds, not new. However... sometimes when unit level maintenance determined that an engine needed replacement, it was sent to...

    What have you done with your 5 Ton

    Not at all. Keep up your preservation. Mine is pretty boring too, just hanging parts and maintaining. I can't come close to building a new truck like some members have done.

    S-788 Shelter dolly project

    A couple of months ago I bought a S-788 shelter from another member. He had posted his story of acquisition, etc but ultimately decided to go another route. His loss, my gain. Anyway, after a recovery from northern GA back to my place on a 16ft car trailer it's now sitting in my driveway. I wish...

    What have you done with your 5 Ton

    Finished my extra Jerry can mount tonight. Put it right behind the curbside toolbox. Fit like it was made to go there.

    BOLO missing truck

    Seems there are less people around that still think like that. I'm no old timer, but thats how I was brought up too. I kind of feel like honor, integrity and trust are flexible values that most of the population call out only when it suits them, not a way of life. I hope this works out for you...

    BOLO missing truck

    Reg, I'm in your area I'll keep an eye out. Like everyone else here I'm always looking out for other MVs. He's not a Soldier by chance is he? I figure you'd have mentioned that by now but I'll ask anyway.

    Trailer value

    Sounds like a M103, but if it's a M116 I'd be interested. Got a pic?

    Blackout light and street light operation

    NOD = Night Observation Device. General term for night vision. I see nothing wrong with using BO lights in conjunction with white lights for a little extra "cool factor" if thats your thing. To my knowledge they don't violate any laws when used with white lights. I make it a habit to always...

    M5 turret remove

    I've never been inside one of those, but in those pics the turret basket looks tiny! Looks decent on the outside, but the inside looks rough. I'm guessing your starting a full restoration? Awesome she's getting saved. I look forward to seeing the process and the final result.

    S-250 or S280 shelter

    zguy ended up getting an S788, former Trojan Spirit, then decided that wasn't the route he wanted to go. I bought the S788 from him. Picked it up from from his place a few weeks ago and brought it home on a 16ft flatbed. Moving it off my trailer alone was fun. I ended up building a custom dolly...
