Anyone heard from Crazyguyla? He told me to send in $75 for a spot with the Steel Soldiers at Aberdeen, I send my $$$ in a while back and haven't heard from him since, I sent him a couple emails.... Just trying to confirm that I have a spot, and where is it?

Is there a trick to taking down the tire/rim on the M37? I am used to seeing a small notch in my deuce rims that allow me to insert a prybar and lever the locking ring off. I have a couple M37 rims here and there are no notches in the lock ring. ???

We're at about 2-1/2 months and closing. The annual East Coast Convoy, en route to Aberdeen military vehicle show, is due to arrive at the show on Thursday, May 21st, 2009. There are serial routes coming from the north, west, and south in order to hook up on the way to the show. This is a...

Been a while since I took these pics, but I thought I would share them. In September, I got all the parts together for a winch install on my deuce. I bought Builder77's winch off of him 3 days before he died ( :cry: ), follow up bad news to that story is his winch leaks like a sieve, and needs...

Okay, going up to Coleman's again, either tomorrow or Monday. I have a short list of things that others want me to look for. If you have any specific requests for items that you know they have, or may be there in the back 40, let me know and I'll pick them up for you. Down side is, my...

Wanted to post a couple pics of my friend Ralph's M37. He's on this site as ShieldWolf37, but rarely is able to login. Lives down the road from dm22630 and me. Bought in nice shape in 2006, been sitting since, but he's been fighting ignition issues. He finally broke down and got the...

Went to a hamfest this morning, mainly to sell some junk I didn't need. However, as usual, bought more than I sold. Scored a pair of PRC-68 handheld radios in working condition, each with H-189 handsets and antennas, for $150 together. There is a mod out there to allow use of standard 9-volt...

Couple questions about the VIC-3 intercom set. 1. Does someone have a complete breakdown of all the components for the set, including cables? 2. I have gotten mixed information regarding its compatibility with VIC-1 components or VRC-12 series radios. Is the VIC-3 compatible with either of...

Got a heads-up from a friend who grew up near New Castle. He got a call yesterday from someone still there, who told him that the Bessemer Concrete company that is located in that town is officially going out of business this coming Friday, 2/20/09. What is MV related about this, is that they...

Well, just scored a Hadley 29" air horn for my deuce. I will not be replacing the stock air horn setup, merely adding a spare "big rig" horn in there for my own satisfaction, I guess. Cost me about $45 used on eGay, with all the hardware to install, in very nice condition. Sure beats paying...

I know, weight-wise, it can be done easily, but my concern is due to the shortness of the trailer, it may cause side-to-side wheel hop or shaking. Anyone have experience with this?

Saw this listed on Gunbroker. It's a rare bird - compared to the CCKW, there are only a handful of US-6s left in the states, most of them went over to Russia via Lend-Lease. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=120605973

Might have to make a custom trailer cover for one of my trailers, that GMA does not sell covers for. Was wondering, if you had an old, perhaps damaged GMA vinyl cover, and you wanted to make a custom cut cover out of it, what would you use to "glue" the edges to make them somewhat finished...

I have the standard coolant heater for my deuce, it takes up a lot of space under the hood, and I am tempted to take it out. Is there a better, perhaps smaller, heater for the deuce, that you guys would recommend? I've heard the term "southwind" heaters. What is that? Sounds like holding a...

That time of year again! Starting to think about doing a VA rally for Steel Soldiers in 2009... BUT We have a couple options here. This year for me, April is way too crowded a timeframe, I have other things already planned. CGarbee and I were talking about the possibility of having the...

Anyone have any info on the Red Ball show that is usually held in Jim Thorpe, PA late in February? I haven't seen anything in MVM....

Anyone here taken a junker...I mean a REAL junker, rust holes, parts missing or falling off, complete scrap heap...and did and complete restoration of it? Looking for before and after pics of your junker to jewel conversion....

One of my trucks had a mashed right turn signal housing, so I pulled a used one from TNJ Murray last time I was there. I installed it yesterday, checked the bulbs inside (like new), and tried it out. Now, when the lights are on, and I move the turn signal switch to "left", the left blinker...

Due to losing my job soon, I have decided to lower the price on my 5-ton flatbed trailer, listed in the classified, from $2K to $1500 for Steel Soldiers. Please see ad for more details, thanks for looking. Mods, please feel free to lock this, I just wanted to make an announcement, no comments...

Saw this on the internet. Thought I'd share. Looks like someone in Greece has been collecting these things for a while. http://jeepdraw.com/Shed_of_Dreams.html
