So it's no lie that I work hard to try to keep scammers at bay from here. The level of scrutiny and hoops I make them jump through had made the site a not worth while target since I effectively took away their means to message people. Well, they've figured a way around it. They don't even...

The scammer registered here as Rock12. But was never approved. I've figured out what happened. The scammer is watching the classifieds and saw where the other person emailed had posted his email address in a thread for a want ad. The scammer basically went completely around all the means...

I reservered a cabin, will have extra beds if anyone is interested in splitting.

Turbo oil seal failure can be a risky thing to keep pushing. You can potentially get to a point where it's in runaway. No amount of pulling the fuel stop will shut it off. It will either blow itself up or suck itself dry of oil and lock up when this happens. Sometimes you can save it by...

I've never been accused of being smart when it comes to towing. Many will speak about the things I've done towing with various MVs. From pulling a LTMV trailer caged behind a CUCV, to towing a 21K ditch witch on a gooseneck behind it. But I've done these things out of necessity, not...

The only way you could even package a 4:1 reduction in a hub would be in a planetary setup. Which would kinda defeat the entire HMMWV setup for suspension.

I flat towed mine with a 1/2t crew cab short bed chevy. It was uneventful for the most part, but it did try to steer me at one intersection. When flat towing the towing vehicle needs to certainly have more weight. And if possible, a longer wheelbase.

Congrats Hank. Sorry for the delay. Got the home page updated.

Ron is no longer a member here. I removed some of his earlier posts that were equally or even more repulsive.

There was in fact a layer of paint that was applied with a mop. Thankfully that was sandblasted off...

It's absolutely money related. Even entry video hosting could cost $500 or more a month. And at that range, we'd likely exceed that cap quickly. Yes, file sizes can be limited. But there's still the part where if you upload a 4K video that is 200gb and I spec that the max video size is...

Just a little background info. The forum database. (Just the text you see here that make up posts and information, not pictures) is over 150gb on it's own. That's text. Not pictures, PDFs, file, OS, exc. Just the text. For compairison, a straight txt file can hold ~500 pages of info in a...

Sorry, we just don't have the endless resources google has for things like youtube.

That is a concession I've made here. Given how people video in 4K and what not, the amount of space that would use could quickly make our database and system file size grow way larger than the giant size it already is. Also the post processing needed to downsize videos would mean additional...

Reach under the dash and unthread the speedo drive.

I'm going to rebuild one of the windows. The other is already urethaned in place. But the other with the broken glass had a original seal in it. I've been searching, but I haven't found anyone that has them for sale? I guess if that's the case I'll just seal these in like the other. But I...

Edit: See post https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/door-and-windshield-glass-measurements.211852/post-2477393 for the measurements. Does anyone know the door glass measurements needed to replace the glass in the doors of a deuce? (I'd measure it myself, but my truck is over at a friends...

The dispersal of trucks through the system is cyclic in nature. From what I've seen it starts with some not great trucks that sell for stupid money being the first out. To lots of great trucks that will sell for less. Then towards the end, you get the last bits they had to literally drag in...

I started reading that, but it's a rather lengthy document. Is there a part in there that states from the government that the brake diaphragms and/or cans have to be replaced every year?
