    Valence's M66 Gun Ring

    I'm hoping to get rolling on this install as the weather warms. I'd like to take the hard top off and gently sand blast the inside, weld some of the weak/cut supports, paint and then re-insulate. However, I'm having trouble finding the two big rubber weather stripping gasket that goes between...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Lets just say that from the tire handling and wheel dismounting I'm back to wearing my wrist brace from a yard work-induced bad sprain last summer. Red's tire work really wasn't bad, really, it wasn't, just "old" injuries acting up. Two people is the charm for working on MV stuff! Just make...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    I'm totally not man enough to stand them up by myself, unless there's no wheel. :)

    My pay-it-forward thread is missing

    Hello, I'm just wondering what happened to my pay-it-forward thread? It was titled "FREE Misc USED small items" or something similar. It was created just before the first of January, 2016 so it shouldn't have reached the 90-day expiration yet. Edit: Here's the link...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Yeah buddy! Real good news on the torque rods. Red, ya need to change a setting in Tapatalk to upload to SS instead of the Tapatalk server (why we only see just links to pictures instead of pictures). Edit: For the folks who don't want to follow the links to the pictures, here are red's most...

    m35 brakes

    This is a very, very true statement. How much do you weigh, because even standing on them is not enough. I've been in friend's deuce going down a steep grade about 10-20 mph, with less than 30PSI of air. He was standing on the brakes, pulling up on the steering wheel for more force. I'm...

    carbon monoxide!

    That's awesome, thanks for the link and recommendation! I want to get one for my siblings and mother, but *ouch*, pricey little bugger.

    Tire?

    Both of those work well, and there any many other places. My favorite spot is just posting a Want ad in Steel Soldier's Classifieds "Parts Wanted" forum. And in the mean time I price shop by visiting: eBay Big Mike's Motor Pool Erik's Military & Industrial Surplus Real Custom Trucks And the...

    Upcoming downtime

    Yes, it seems last week and the week before the site was getting very slow and even timing out responses at my home computer. Everything seems to be operating snappy like one would expect (and thus, take for granted).

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    That's really helpful info there, thanks! Not that I've had any problems with my original in-tank pump but this above comment and the fact that I can "run out of fuel" when on a hill with still 20% of a tank left... both pushed me over the top finally ordering a replacement from "beltfed34" on...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Best reasoning I've ever heard! My reason for mounting my locking door handles vertical? I liked the way it looked, and uh, the stock door handles were that way and I didn't think about it until later. I'm going to use QUADJEEPER's reason for now on ;)

    Roadside safety: Stay Alive!

    Did you just have it custom made? Magnetic/reflective I assume? I've seen a few pictures of signs like this, like a deuce with one on each mud flap and I was considering doing the same. Anyone able to provide pictures as I'm having trouble digging them up. Thanks!

    Upgraded deuce's tires to Goodyear G177 11.00R20s (dualed)

    Yes, the addition of the spacer plates in the rear is just to move the tires out further away from the suspension to help avoid/prevent rubbing issues. The spacer plates are NOT needed in front and should NOT be placed BETWEEN the the duals - You wouldn't get the inner lugnut on correctly if you...

    Changing caster angle solved problems with G-177 tires

    Cool! I hope you like 'em as much as I do mine! I bought wheel spacers (for the rear) from Kryptonite Kustoms (I ordered 1/4" thick spacer plates but maybe 3/8" thick would have been better. Maybe 1/2" would have been even better, but I don't recall if there was enough thread space on the...

    Marine Corps Study Guides for Aviation Radio (AN/GRC-171B) & SINCGARS

    I have two study guide books that I've had in my closet for over 12 years and I was thinking the community might be interested in here. I hate to cut up the books, but what I could do is cut off the binding then scan all the pages and offer the PDFs here. Study Guide Aviation Radio Technician...
