    6x6 Unloading help needed in San Antonio today or tomorrow

    C'mon Texans, put on your thinking cap and see if we can find a spot for Joe to get his trucks on the ground. Someone must know where a dock or ramp is or have a spot to gouge a temporary hole.

    Deuce Sleeper?

    I had my S318 in the back of my deuce for a while. The 318 is even smaller giving me 5' of bed. As long as loading and unloading isn't an issue, I think you will be most pleased with it.

    My M101A3

    For numbers, the DATA plate is all you get. Nice looking trailer.

    Yikes! I'm sure glad you folks are having all that fun.

    The Steel Soldiers Community....

    Glad you feel that way. I have felt that way for a long time with this group. There are some crazy uncles on here that will be bitter and unpleased no matter what the site does as a whole but in general, not a better bunch of folks. You should try a rally some time, even better in person.

    Dana 44 swap, M1010

    Front axle weight from the shipping data plate. It's 150# more than the M1008. Under moderate use I wouldn't have a problem with the Dana 44 but the brakes aren't as good as the Dana 60. My burb weighs 6600# and has an 8 lug 10 bolt and works fine, granted I don't beat the snot out of it.

    What's up with the 'political speech' ban on this site?

    Since you've only been here a minute, take some time to look around before criticizing the establishment. The site does run from money and the google ads provide a revenue stream that keeps the site free for you and the masses. Complaining about a free service?? Hinky Oh, for what it's...

    HMMWV seats in a CUCV?

    Thought about it. One would most likely have to fab a frame that spans the cab then mount the seats to that. Thinking 3 in my Oh-8, or 2 and a jump seat.

    Karma and The 700R4

    I need excercise, may as well scout parts. Multitasking for fun and profit.

    Karma and The 700R4

    I would guess probably not. That sensor doesn't look HMMWV and I see a vac pump instead of the signal drive. Wayne?

    Karma and The 700R4

    Haha, have a close look at wayne pick's picture. See that sensor sticking out of the linkage bracket? I was faced with one of those today and was concerned about not having the right wrench with me. I brought everything upto 1 1/4". It was the biggest. Here's what I didn't know. The sensor...

    Moving TV with MV

    When I kicked in new carpet upstairs, the M108 inserted the carpet through an upstairs window. It is also used to install my hurricane panels. Mighty useful.

    Karma and The 700R4

    I did not but plan on taking some using a can motor I have.

    Karma and The 700R4

    So, a while back I returned a favor to a friend and sent him a 700R4 tv cable bracket assy. I had an extra so it was the least I could do. Fast foward to today, I decided to get my excercise walking the U pick yards as I preach to everyone else. Came upon a suburban someone tried to convert to...

    Battery Advice needed

    Mikev was the seller. A super stand up guy. I just ordered a boatload of CR123A batteries from Mike. Should have got more at the rally.

    Glue

    I have always used the yellow baby shi.....er, 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive. Even on valve covers, something we had to remove often. Secure the gasket to the cover and you're done.

    sandy killed my truck help

    This is where 6TL batteries shine. Good work on rescues. Also be aware that water at that level is near the air compressor inlet

    CUCV vs. Slave Cable

    FWIW I carry a fusible link repair kit in my Oh-8 @ all times. Complete right down to the adapter butt splices, shrink wrap and a heat source.

    CUCV vs. Slave Cable

    At least you had the patience to fix it right away. I always walk away for a week or 3.
