    Not Just Another "Just Picked Up My New Trailer"...

    This statement is completely incorrect. EVERY DAY now I see numerous commercial haulers transporting Iraq-returned vehicles from the wharves at Galveston, TX, up Hwy 59 to Texarkana. The RORO ships are coming in every few days.

    M915A1 Alternator

    Just had the same thing happen. Alt shop told me the 12/24 system has fallen out of favor, and that I should swap in a 12 volt starter for $200. I also did not want to do that. In my case, just the transformer was cooked and the Leece Neville 12 volt 85 amp alternator part checked out OK...

    Insurance on an LVS MK-48?

    For real? They have rejected my application for M54A2 and M915's recently. "too big" I have 6 other smaller vehicles with them.

    M172a1

    Welcome to the site. Most people that narrow the 172's cut away the channel outboard of the tires, the outer measurement of the tires is 102 1/2. Close enough. You need to run an ad in the classifieds to sell the tires, you have to pay for a premium membership (worth it). There are no axles for...

    And I thought I was the only one not all gaga about super singles.

    M915 Question/ Help

    I would fix it first. You are "NMC" (not mission capable). Think of the wrecker bill.

    1977 M880 cab

    Make sure the cab is from a 4x4 truck, they are different than 4x2. It is an all weekend project. A forklift would be nice. Welcome to the site!

    Overkill Customs M920 Build

    Looks great Eldgen, you should get your price. Far cry from what it looked like sitting at Camp Beauregard! 53's make it.

    Just when you thought GL couldn't suck any worse

    I know it sounds like a runaround not to be able to get your GL rep without being "pre-screened", but the other side of the story is that the poor reps were spending all day on the cell phone answering stupid questions while trying to drive forklifts, etc. I have seen it in person at Ft Polk...

    How long have you had your HUMVEE

    Got my M1037 in 1991, completely restored it, and it has never left the garage since.

    Anyone know anything about this semi trailer

    No mention of it in TM43-001-31 Tacom Equipement data sheets. It's tactical, but unusual to have the Dayton wheels. I bet it is missile related.

    10/52 USMC M38A1 restoration project

    So far the Jeep is lookng good. The 350 for sure needs to go. Is the Jeep a true USMC? I think they had front locking differentials. About the WLA, my buddy and I both decided to do one about 3 years ago. He decided to build up from parts, and I decided to find a Russian lend lease and...

    5 ton tractor

    I was right, it is a 1986. There is a 1986 M931A1 listed on a popular auction site that is C531-3150 which is 15 units, or a couple day's production from yours.

    5 ton tractor

    Seems like lots of A1's are 1986. The slicks are often 83-84, and the A2's seem to start at 1989. Corrections/additions?

    Body question

    You can place it on any side you want. It is not easy to stand it up on end by yourself. The body is very tough.

    Out With The New (Winch)...

    The military Ramsey 50 fairlead is almost exactly like the one you are using. I would have to study your set up for a few minutes to tell it was a later model. Yours and the OP's look great and very correct.

    Post blasting / sanding flash rust elimination tests

    You are worring about nothing. 68T said it best, just put a thick prime coat over it and keep all the magic potions off your anchor profile!
