    2016 Florida Winter Rally

    The show was a lot of fun to go to, see folks who are like minded & all the vehicles on display. The only thing wrong with this show is that it is only held once a year; it should be twice a year @ the least or more! Thanks for having us again!

    First deuce... East Orlando, FL

    You will get the fuel problem figured out and then get to figure out how many smiles per gallon you get when you take her out for a spin. The Mt. Dora MV show is this weekend, you might want to stop by if you are not busy & checkout all the exhibits; you might even find the right person who...

    Towing a M105a2 w/ civilian Pick Up ?

    Towing with civy vehicle~ Here is a picture of my latest GP win being towed 110 miles home by my old Toyota Tacoma. No problems if you watch what is going on in front of you in traffic! The first one was with the Deuce & that took the wind outta my sails for a day!

    2016 Florida Winter Rally

    Yes, I saw his "Taj" last year @ the meet. It is quite the mancave, plus all the trimming. The temps seem be not a low as earlier forcast, but still not tent camping weather for us Floridians :roll:.. There might still be a trick up my sleeve to stay warm from Uncle Sugar if I can get the stuff...

    Who is bringing the warm place to sleep? It seems that the weather has taken a turn for several cold nights in the mid 30's. We shall see in a few days for sure!

    M35A2 fuel cap

    I changed out my strainer & fuel cap with a used replacement that is the fording type. I'm not sure of which direction the lever goes in standard non fording position, up on the bumps or down in between! On the 200 mile recovery trip yesterday, I just left it loose so as not to create a vacuum...

    Speed or lack of.

    I have the same truck you are talking about & totally empty, it will run 53-55 on a good day! Half loaded, it will run 50. but is happy running 45-47. The truck is stock from the WRAFB in Georgia & has 11,250.0 miles on it. The oil & fuel filters have been changed once, plus the tank was cleaned...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Please do post some pics. I have two sets and one set needs mounting, just not sure where that will be out of the way! Also, I changed out the original headlights with a set recommended here with replacement bulbs H2? H4? I can't remember. Since there are two M-105a2 trailers that have to be...

    M105A2C vacuum for brakes? Towing vehicle question too.

    Monday is pickup day for one of mine, will let you guys know what I find out when there. If a unit with vacuum brakes is one of my pickups, it will be done with the Toyota truck as it has vacuum brakes :roll:! The Deuce will pull the other one home using the air brakes unless the brakes won't...

    M105A2C vacuum for brakes? Towing vehicle question too.

    The two I won had all the brake components intact from the pictures. There will be some other guys who go to pick up their trailers that look under them for the road inspection & wonder what happened here??

    M105A2C vacuum for brakes? Towing vehicle question too.

    Oh joy, I won two of those trailers in the auction yesterday! I'll post what I find next week when I go to pick them up! They posted that they were air over hydraulic brakes like all the rest of the M105A2's are, some even had the air chamber broken off from forklift damage I surmise!

    Govplanet Sales Tax

    They charge sales tax in the state of the sale, what ever percentage that might be. If you are exempt, with a certificate on file with them @ the time of the auction close, you pay no tax. You know you can't fool the taxman!

    The big trip and a new MV.

    Add all the knowledge together from the previous posters & try to remember it to the best of your ability. It is worth its weight in gold in you have any issues. That said, I got the bug a few years ago & drove one home from Blue Ridge, Georgia thru Atlanta (got cut off @ the exit to the bypass)...

    M149A2 Water Buffalo, worth?

    Paint it OD green & the price will double! I would buy it for the price of $337.29 most any day!

    Homemade canvas/tarp top for M1102

    PVC when cold gets real brittle, so tied with the wind, you may have a problem there, but your idea is definitely innovative! Keep us posted as to how well it works!

    painted my trailer

    A snow camouflage paint job on your new trailer. Good job, won't work in Florida though! Probably works great with all the snow in your AO!
