Last week my Dad & I took my Deuce on a long road trip to Oklahoma City, OK, and eventually to Dry Creek, LA. I had won several items in OK City, as well as an M931 tractor in Fort Polk, LA, and wanted to pick them all up in one fell swoop. We left Utah for Las Vegas, NV, and then...

Garrett, aka Jeepsinker here, picked up an M931A2 I won out of Fort Polk for me; he did some work on her to get her roadworthy and parked her on his property awaiting my pickup. Garrett was very honest and helpful, he answered all of my questions and was very patient with my nitpicky...

Since the TMs show where these new-style, short Airpacks are located and how to remove them, I'm only going to focus on what the TMs and other printed literature don't cover. I've searched high and low but haven't been able to come up with any kind of drawing, schematic, or instructions for...

My truck's Airpack (new, short-style) had an issue several months ago with the air-slave cylinder, where it caused brake pressure to be applied while driving and the brakes were dragging. I removed the Airpack and rebuilt it with a kit from TNJ Murray. I took photos as I went along and I...

I won a pallet load of 12 HEMTT wheels (20x10) at Herlong, and would like to see if I can get it picked up & transported to Las Vegas, NV or partway and I can pick up outside the depot/along the way back to Vegas. If someone can pick this load up for me & remove it from the base, I'd compensate...

Many many thanks to fellow members 100DollarMan (aka Hundy) & DUG. Hundy held some multifuel engines & a radiator for me until I could pick them up, and cut me a sweet deal on a Deuce transmission. He was kind enough to let us come by on a Saturday to pick them up, and had his son Brian load...

I've been spending quite a bit of time with the Motor Carrier Division folks in our state's DMV. I have finally been approved for a Special Fuel Manufacturer License, and I am the first one in the state to get one for personal use. I just got set up to access the online payment system; usage...

A friend of mine who owns a custom & hot-rod fab shop has been wanting to buy a Deuce for over a year now, and he finally got his wish. He was the winning bidder for a 1972 AM-General M35A2 with winch & hardtop, and the auction included an M103 trailer; his final cost after 3% buyer's fees was...

I've got a LDT-465-1D motor. I've replaced all filters & fluids, then decided to replace all fuel lines since a couple of the nylon ones were cracked. I've drained my fuel tank, cleaned & flushed it, cleaned the in-tank lift pump & replaced the rubber fuel hose on it with a brand-new one...

When it comes to lifting and/or tie-downs, don't just double-check, please TRIPLE-CHECK. Case in point: while using a forklift today to lift Airbornebandsman's M109 van body from my trailer onto his Deuce chassis, I failed to ensure that the lifting chains were secured properly. We used some...

Airbornebandsman recently purchased one of my M105A2 trailers I scored from GL last summer, so I had him pick the nicest one for his pending PCS move to Texas. It's a VSE rebuild, with the extra rib reinforcements inside the bed, and is virtually brand-new. The date on the manufacturer's tag...

Thought I'd kick this off for Airbornebandsman. Saturday, April 21st we took my truck & trailer down to Barstow to pick up an M109 van body for his M35. We made a stop prior to Barstow at 100DollarMan's compound to pick up some goodies, and Airbornebandsman was able to score some good deals on...

Many many thanks to Hundy & his son Brian for taking care of myself & Airbornebandsman. Saturday April 21st we made a quick stop to pick up some tires & wheels I bought from Hundy, when Airbornebandsman decided to see if he could swing some deals on parts he's been needing to complete his...

So I finally got around to cleaning out the cab of my Deuce as I've been doing lots of little repairs/fixes here and there in preparation for trying to get it roadworthy soon...it sat for a couple of years out in the desert near 29 Palms, California, and the kangaroo rats & other critters made...

Yesterday I made a 650-mile roundtrip journey to San Clemente, CA (on the northern doorstep of Camp Pendleton) to check out some used 9x20 NDT tires on Deuce rims that were advertised for $25 each. The trip was well worth my time and fuel! Even with fuel and expenses added in, it was a great...

I've been watching an ad on Craigslist for a Deuce in the 29 Palms area that had either a bad rear axle or a transfer case problem, and was for sale for a STEAL. So, I finally got enough saved up to go and buy her. Thankfully, she had a clear California title and a Non-Operational certificate...

This "One Of A Kind" M35 that just sold at the most recent Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas must be gold-plated, although I only saw some chrome items: 1989 AM GENERAL M35A2C Lot 94 | Barrett-Jackson Auction Company Looks like you fellas need to step it up some: gloss paint (John Deere...

Just picked up my 5 M105A2 trailers today; since I live fairly close to Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, I asked Chris (the GL rep there) if I could just make 5 trips back & forth, instead of 2 trips loading the M105s onto my 24-foot flatbed. He said it was no problem, so here are pics of my 5 trips...
