Hey Fellas! Just picked up a used Pro Tran 10 circuit Transfer Switch that I will be running with my MEP-002A. Here is my problem, because I bought it used I don't have any instructions or diagrams for the install. I will probably be having a professional install it but nevertheless I have some...

Bought my first Genset the other day, it's a 1992 MEP 002A mounted on an M116A2 3/4 ton trailer with surge road brakes. The generator came with some pretty awesome mods including spin on oil and fuel filters and an auxillary outlet box so you can plug directly into 120/240VAC with three or four...

Hey Fellas! I've always wondered why the Deuce never had reverse lights. Or a reverse alarm for that matter. I know the obvious answer, in combat a loud alarm and bright lights tends to attract attention. But in the civy world they both have very practical uses. That's not to say it hasn't...

Ok fellas, our trucks can withstand just about any mechanical failure and still be operational in some way, but the weakest thing on the dang truck has to be these stupid IN TANK FUEL PUMPS!!!! Seriously, did the military not see this? Was this system an afterthought?? At this point I would...

Hello Fellas, Merry Christmas to you and the whole family! I have been knocking this Idea around in my head for a couple weeks now ever since I was offered a half-bobbed (incomplete) deuce. I thought, "How could I make it cooler than all the other bobbers?" I would not bob a deuce unless it...

Hey Fellas, Today I finished a project I've been working on for a few days. I have always liked the teardrop style police car / fire truck spotlights. I have always wanted to mount one on the Deuce for many reasons, not the least of which is the sheer cool factor. [thumbzup] I bought one at...

Hey fellas. Decided today to do a much needed upgrade to my truck. It has always freaked me out that there is no way of telling if the Deuce turn signals are on if you are beside the truck. (A common problem with big trucks as you know). In the MV world we install lollipops on the fron...

Hey Fellas, Just about to embark on my first 'big' MV road trip! Anybody in the New England area is more than likely familiar with the great Route 16. It is a stretch of road that goes from Portsmouth NH all the way to Canada. At it's largest it is a 6 lane highway, at times it is barely a...

Got the M66 installed in preperation for the Barrington NH old truck meet tomorrow. It took the better part of the afternoon and the help of a good buddy but it really wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. Had to remove the top to make things easier, and until I make a cutout for...

Hey fellas, hope you are enjoying the summer. I had a few quick questions about the M820 Expansible Van Truck. I took a tour of a salvage yard in PA a while back and while I was there I became very curious about the M820. I was told that the M820 is 'an aquired taste' and only a select few seem...

The 2011 Barrington Old Truck Meet will be held on Sunday August 21st. It will be held behind Calef's Country Store, Rt. 9 & 125 in Barrington, NH. Registration fee is $5.00 (there is an additional fee for vendors) This year is the 25th annual gathering of some of the most amazing trucks...

Hey fellas, did a quick search with no results on the TM number (MEP-015A). Any information on this generator would be greatly appreciated, I am going to take a look at one this weekend and would like to know if it is worth the $$$ the guy is asking, he says it is a 1.5kw (skid mounted)...

Hey fellas, I considered posting this in the Jeep forum, but then decided that even though it's really close it's still a replica. My boss bought this for his kids on his son's 4th birthday. This is the coolest toy I have ever seen! It is a scale replica of a willys WW2-Korea Jeep! Glass...

Hey fellas. Just wanted to post these real quick, my girlfriend insisted; "Baby, you NEED to show these to your steelsoldier buddies!" Well I'm a bit of an 'artiste' and I just figured I would share with you some sketches I have done of my Deuce. Sometimes when I get bored at work I grab a...

So as many of you know... As a side job I clean, sell and deliver plastic barrels for wmo collection etc. Today I decided to make a quick tutorial on zero-cost homemade stencils using my collection barrel. 1. Download the following...

I took a road trip down to NYC this past weekend. Since I was about an hour and 40 mins outside of Philly, I decided to stop in at a place I've been DIEING to visit... Eastern Surplus!! Yes we have all seen the ads in the back of petersens 4wor and other mags but they don't do this place any...

Did the civy wiper conversion today. First let me assure anyone looking to do this in the future that it is one of the easiest, cheapest and practical mods you can do to these trucks. Part #'s ARMS- ANCO # 41-01 BLADES-ANCO # 31-13 (yes these numbers have been listed before) [thumbzup] I...

So today I completed part 1 of my horn install. In the summer I attended the Barrington NH Old Truck Meet. While I was there I scored a great pair of GROVER PRODUCTS air horns (the regular tone not the fire truck stuttertone) for only $20! They were in need of some cleaning and one was missing...

I searched a bunch of different variations of the title but nothing came up. Has anyone installed a police style hand controlled spotlight on their Deuce? I have seen them on fire engines but was wondering if anyone has one installed in their hardtop/windshield frame or something.

Was crawling under my truck today and had a thought. I noticed that the clutch pedal control lever lies on the outer edge of the frame with a clear, unobstructed view to the front bumper. Got an idea, what if you built a lever on the bumper so you could control your clutch from outside while...
