Boy Howdy Roy ain't that the truth!

Sounds like the few things that were wrong were not too big deal except for the driveshaft. Someone must have shuffled it around with a forklift at the yard. Were the seats and dashboard in bad shape?

Can you do recoveries from a military base in AZ and temp storage at your lot with someone else's long haul removal later?

I like the "Frenched" roller fairlead. Are you going with a military style chain lead on the end of the cable or make everything so it tucks up behind the bumper face when traveling?

I noticed that you rerouted the slobber tube from in front of the spring shackle to behind it. I presume to take the kink out of it. Looks like you ended up moving the kink farther up the tube though. Are you working on a solution or just leave it as good enough? I was thinking a 45 into the...

Howdy and welcome from Colorado! What vehicles are you interested in buying?

Thanks Special T. I was noticing the difference in pilots(cap nuts with pilots) and the reference for steel inners and aluminum outers. I suppose that is why the pilots are longer due to the thicker aluminum rims. I would imagine that is also the difference in longer studs shown. for steel...

Thats what I was thinking too. In my case I was going to demount the 8 rears anyway to convert to G177's. While I was in there I was going to go through the brakes / hubs as well. Probably not the case for everyone but I would imagine a fair number of people would go the extra distance if...

It might take a bit more research and measurement but, what if you replaced the studs with longer ones instead? I see several listed in the referenced Lawson site that might be candidates. assuming it was not too much additional work R & R ing the studs.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado! Like others here, I was stationed in Germany for a while and loved the country and people. I like your CUCV.

I think ,like others, that sometimes you are not sure what to expect as to what the situation is with dunnage when you pickup. However, just last week I made a pickup and I had an A+++ experience from the front office people to the forklift operators. From my experience, some lots are rather...

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. Thanks for your service!

That is so stinkin awesome to see it operating. Even if it is in pictures. Thanks!!

Howdy and welcome from Colorado! Good work with the VFD. Are you a member or just a good samaritan?

Well you certainly have torn into it already. Thanks for the pics. Very interested in your progress.

I had a similar problem with oil out the exhaust. I would start it and idle it frequently but never really drove it hard. This last year I moved and she came with me towing a M146 as well. No oil out the exhaust. Lots more work to be done but I need to get my barn built. Great to see you...

I'd be in for 4.

I seem to remember something about with the truck idling in 1st gear, 6 wheel drive, winch pto engaged and on 1st layer the truck would not overdrive the winch. In other words, on dry land under normal traction, the winch would reel in about the same speed as the truck would move forward? Am I...

Howdy and welcome from snowy Colorado!

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. Take one thing at a time is good advice. Looking at the whole picture can be overwhelming. Once you get past the heavy and cumbersome part, it is rather simple. Don't set hard and fast time lines for each issue. Just go until you get tired/frustrated or run...
