    hard start under32°

    My CUCV will start in 13 degree weather at a bump of the starter. I run AC60G's and I have gotten rid of the resistor behind the air cleaner housing and routed the feed wire to the 12V bus bar as outlined in the Doghead Bypass sticky. I went through the headache of removing swollen plugs 2...

    Changing D to a C TURBO

    My C is tight bearing wise. It's a good audible sound to let you know when you're in the throttle or coasting which comes in handy when going through hills. Since I don't have a pyro yet, I charge towards the bottom and taper the throttle towards the top when I running through those!! The C...

    Changing D to a C TURBO

    I sent my good take off D up the road in exchange for a C Turbo. Best modification I could have done to the truck. I'll add that the muffler I added does drown out the bark but the whistle is still there and sounding fantastic!!! Yes, I do take long trips with it. 180 miles each way when...

    I'm worried about my Deuce freezing tonight

    I would imagine it likely mixed. Have you ever looked at a thermostat for one of these trucks? I have no idea how it works coming from a light truck and automotive background but it looks like it would work about as good as a screen door on a submarine as far as keeping water from flowing...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the YEAR - 2014 VOTE HERE!

    vtdeucedriver, I've already made my vote but I do appreciate seeing your truck in the running. Your truck smoked my CUCV in May. I love reading stories of Trucks that served in Vietnam but I am certainly somewhat biased towards ¨Proud American¨ , not only because I have driven it a few times...

    MV of the Month Nominations Jan 2015

    Wait, who am I kidding!!! Looking through the pics, this is my favorite!!! This is me and my boy's changing out a master cylinder and airpack the day before I left for the GA Rally in 2011!!! The truck was loaded and I thought all was right with the world until I stepped on the brake pedal...

    MV of the Month Nominations Jan 2015

    Better pics of my truck I know we are not campaigning yet. There is plenty of time for that!!! I'm offering up more pictures so that the Admin Staff can choose which picture they think will do the best in the polls. All are pictures of the same truck. The older one's with the truck on the...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the YEAR - 2014 VOTE HERE!

    A few pics I have of Proud American. Notice the picture of the 2 Hero's who helped ¨Grandfather¨ my damage to the truck!! They were happy as could be that a young Soldier knew of their story and that PB introduced us. I'll never forget that day. That day had to be one of the most...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the YEAR - 2014 VOTE HERE!

    I voted for Papabear for a few reasons. I first saw this truck at the Infantry Museum on Ft. Benning after a change of command ceremony There were two different events that day, the truck was part of an MIA / POW ride but it was an eye catching truck along with ¨Black Widow¨. I asked around...

    1960 Curtis-Wright m35a2

    If you're looking for a bobber and it meets your needs, then go for it. I prefer a 3 axle Deuce and would be a little worried buying one that someone else pieced together. I tend to trust my own work a little more than the work of others. Just like any other vehicle, you need to check it over...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month - December VOTE HERE!

    Bump for the morning crew!! Today is the day my truck got his new lease on life. 6 years ago today is when I picked this truck up from Ft. Rucker, AL and made the 130 mile trip home. Instead of parts and oil, you can tell him ¨Happy Birthday¨ by clicking the button next to sandcobra164 and...

    73 mph M1008

    Could the picture of the CUCV speedo past 85 have been from a M1009? Those can probably do that but I doubt the truck version with the 4.56 gears would hold up long term doing that.

    73 mph M1008

    Mine is hollering loud enough at 55 indicated, 52 GPS indicated to tell me he's not happy. I've had him up to 65 indicated, 61 GPS indicated to hear him say he didn't like that at all. I normally just run between 45 to 50 indicated and he's happy as can be.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month - December VOTE HERE!

    Sir, I'll message them on how to create about 40 user accounts without catching attention of the IT Staff and have all the new members vote on my truck. I'd try it myself but they are kinda smart and monitor IP addresses and what not. It's above my paygrade so I'll take a beating in the polls...

    Now my truck lives in the same town that Luke Bryan, Phillip Phillp's and Buster Posey came from. Where are the Teenybop Votes!!! Young Ladies, tell your Daddy that the ONLY WAY to Support Leesburg, GA is to vote for Sandcobra!!! 3dAngus, I'm disappointed!!! Not actually, that's a sweet...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month - December VOTE HERE!

    Wooohoooo, Thank You jdmcgowen!!! Always a Great Feeling to get that First Vote to start that Momentum. My truck deserves a shot at victory as he has participated in the last 5 GA Rallies since he became a privately owned truck and that's a 180 mile trip each way. He's been a trail ride...

    I should also say Thanks to ClintoGF Ms. Dawn for a nice top and BKUBU Mr. Bruce for a Very Nice Cargo Cover. They were both on the truck for the aforementioned Funeral Service ride to make this truck look great. That particular day was certainly a tear jerker. I was good until I got down to...

    MV of the Month Nominations December 2014

    I'll nominate my run of the mill M35A2. It's made the trip for 4 of the 5 SSGR's and it's a heck of a runner. It's also towed other trucks and trailer's off MCLB Albany but it's Proudest moment was when it drove along with the Funeral Procession for LCPL Steve Sutton, a local HomeTown Hero who...
