    Brown Mtn Climb

    Brandon, you had your wrecker up there? Wow! The trail was plenty wide enough for a Deuce or 5 ton, at least to the pond. It got a bit narrower and steeper after the pond. Seems like some of the curves were a bit sharper also. The park is closed for the winter. But spring is coming...

    This could be exciting...

    Walk into work this morning and I am greeted by the biggest grin on my coworker’s face. Matt is a fellow MV enthusiast and WWII re-enactor, but he sold his MV’s a few years back when he got married. I don’t know the whole story, but you have to give him credit for putting his marriage first...

    strange "bump" when decelerating quickly

    Don't know if this will help, but I had a similar strange noise in my M37. Mine was a rattle. It developed after I had done some PM about 2 months ago. Took it for a drive, and it rattles!? Sometimes I heard it, sometimes I didn't. I tried to figure out what I had done when I changed oil...

    Brown Mtn Climb

    Just north of Morganton, NC, is an ORV park called Brown Mtn. Took the M37 there today along with my sons' Ranger and Cherokee, plus 2 nice 4 wheelers. Most of the trail is dry rock or dirt, fairly steep in places, bumpy as all get out, but never needed 4 wheel drive and hardly ever spun...

    Homemade troopseats?

    Since new M37 troopseat hardware costs an arm and a leg, and used does not seem available for much less (if at all), I have not been able to add troopseats yet. I saw a pic of a M37 with all wooden seats. That got me to thinking about the extra Deuce seat metal parts that I have laying around...

    My "Little" Jeep

    I like the cargo cover! Looks real good. Like a super-sized M37!

    Another Christmas Parade Thread

    Love to see the big GREEN trucks used at Christmas. People love to see them. I have to ask why the state football champs needed a step ladder??

    62A1 progress

    Somehow looking at your wrecker with a full cab reminded of pulling the 10 tons and that hydraulic hose broke. At least now you won't take an oil bath. Looks good, Brandon.

    CHRISTMAS Parades

    Had fun with 2 parades today. Our church always hands out balloons and uses the Deuce in the Valdese Christmas parade. Then we went to Glen Alpine for their parade. Took the faithful beast. She kept peeking out the passenger window and got more attention than the trucks. My sons drove the...

    I am tired of Clinto bugging me

    Looks good, Tim. Will she make it to Georgia in October? We can really get us a convoy from this neck of the woods now.

    holiday parade

    Dan, It looks real good with all that OD green and red. I think you've egot the biggest smile. Was it really called a "holiday" parade? I say MERRY CHRISTMAS, and GOD BLESS US, Everyone!!

    Veterans Day Display Clyde NC- Free stuff if you bring your truck

    Neil, What happened that it took 2 DAYS to go up black mtn? Or are you just blowing smoke to emphasize how long and steep that baby is. Even in the Dually yesterday I had to downshift. Dwight, Sorry you couldn't make it. My wife told me you called. Hopefully we can get together some...

    Veterans Day Display Clyde NC- Free stuff if you bring your truck

    A few pics from the event today. Had a good turn out for a small town, but that seems to be the only place that we get any patriotic turn out. I know that's not always true, but small town America is the heart of America. I appreciate Tim letting us know about this event.

    Veterans Day Display Clyde NC- Free stuff if you bring your truck

    Tim, I'll be there about 10 but without the WWII Vet. He's just not up to it. See you in the morning.

    Veterans Day Display Clyde NC- Free stuff if you bring your truck

    Sounds good Tim. My plan is to trailer the M37. Is 10 too late? I am planning on bringing a WWII Vet with me, but the cold may be too much for him. He was recently in the hospital. I'll have to see how he's feeling. See you Friday.

    M101A2 Hitch question

    CHAINS?? How short are your safety chains? We had the exact same problem. My son pulls our M101 behind his Rranger - too low. So we bought one of those hitches with the plate and it worked fine until...one day I came home from work and he said, "Dad, I bent the hitch." No way but it is bent...

    Loading trailers at Chambersburg

    M1061a1 in use

    Ditto on the closeup of the ramps. Great set up. My 1061 has adequate but steep ramps. Thanx for sharing.

    M353 Firewood hauler

    Friend at church wanted several trees down. Got the liitle ones last week, but got the 3 biguns Saturday. Had plenty of help, but who thinks to stop and take pics while working?? We didn't. There was one large white pine that needed to be pulled while cutting; the Deuce made easy work of...
