I was wondering if there are any MV get-togethers with Mud or Off Road trails in Louisiana, Mississippi, or Texas that will be happening in 2009. Just purchased my M35A2 in April 2008 so I am a Newbie to medium MVs although I can proucly say the fist vehicle I ever drove was a '46 CJ2A which I...

Brotherly love is good but to me "whoever gets up the earliest and gets there first wins!" Unless he can "take you" of course. Welcome aboard new guys. Jim

New tires & wheels Details....MUST have details...hurry....I'm going to hyperventilate too. Must have improved speed and improved steering reports A.S.A.P. I'm turning blue................ Seriously, we must have your reports. It's a got-to-know for us fellow Deuce owners here. Jim

If you have not done your front wheel bearings yet and the roads are reasonably clean where you live, you could do this. I would immediately clean the bearings and repack them and do the front brake checks / cleaning / adjustments while you are in there if you choose to try this. Take off your...

15w40 They are starting to use 15W40 oil in the engines now days. This is simply a reminder to the driver to service it with the correct grade. Shell's Rotella or Rotella-T are very good choicex but the price is starting to climb pretty high too. I buy mine from NAPA is 5 gallon pails so...

Pper Manuals I have all the manuals on CD for the CUCV and the M35A2 and when I need an exceptionally large diagram (wiring) I take the CD to Kinkos or Office Depot and they print it out on a Leger size (or larger if needed) paper for me. I just tell them what PDF page number to print and they...

u-haul hitch With regards to weight distributing hitches, Here is a link that explains it some. http://www.etrailer.com/faq_weightdistribution.aspx

u-haul hitch I'm not sure if the question was directed at me or not or which hitch is at question. The Valley brand civilian hitch (2 inch recxeiver) was removed off a 1985 Civy Blazer that found it's way into a junk yard. I took it off, bolts and all, and got out of there for about $35.00 but...

U-Haul hitch Weight distributing is the term used largly for camper trailers with tandem axles. It is a means bringing the tow vehicle and the trailer into the same plain (sort of). You can almost double your tongue weight by using them but I'n not much into that sort of thing anymore...

deuce in the snow nopics rofl so worthless without pics. Sorry, I had to do it. I'm from the snow country too but have none in Louisiana where I now reside. I really do miss those 3 foot drifts in my drive but I had no Deuce back then. Can I come to Kentucky and spend a week in the...

your new skins Very Sexy if you ask me! :grd: :-D

uhaul trailer hitch - STOP - don't grind yet! STOP - don't grind yet!! Here is a hitch that I bolted onto my M1009 without modification to the hitch or damage to the truck. What I did have to do is take off the skid plate for the gas tank and the cross brace for the pintle reinforcment. I did...

M1008 weight Here are the two pages out of the -10 for the CUCV. If 5900 is the upper limit I would take out the spare and the front seat and put a single seat in and have it weighed. Curb weight is without driver. It seems really unfair to make a regular pickup a "commercial truck". Jim

I was wondering if anyone was going to Redstone Arsenal near Huntsville, Alabama in the next four or five days. I purchased a M105 trailer and don't have the serial number from the data plate. PM or e-mail me if you could help but I don't want anyone making a special trip. Thanks, Jim :roll...

M105 trailer info That's what I was referring to. The "Ars" end will be pointing towards the sky so I was worried about towing it safely in that condition. I have a pintle hook raised on a plate but the lunette ring is 29 3/4 to 33 3/4 off the ground and the pintl goes up to about 20 inches or...

brake problems Welcome aboard and you REALLY did come to the right place. The fluid is added through a access door about where your right knee would be over the floor board while seated in the drivers seat. If you have a winch, the door is just to the left of the PTO engagement handle. Blow...

Hello fellow trailer owners. I need some pictures and was hoping that one of you could help. The pics that I need are of the axle attachment to the springs. Particularly the u-bolts and spring plates. When I purchased my M105A2 about 10 years ago it had no axle so I purchased a military...

trailer model?? Is there anyone that has replaement data plates for this older trailer? I checked a couple of the more S.S. Endorsed dealers and they don't have it on their web sites although they do have the actual M105A1 & A2 plates. Jim

I have had what I thought was a M105A something trailer for 10 years now. I am looking at the data plate and thinking that I might want to have a new one made. What I find when I clean it up and strip off some of the old paint is not M105A.... I have a XM-105-E3 manufactured by Checker Cab...

I would like to add the same tires and wheels to the trailer that I want to add to the Deuce so it looks and tows evenly. I may have to go with a narrower tire if there are clearance issues. Jim
