I am looking for the TM just so we can have the "official" word, but so far I keep falling on my face with the search... Found a post (below) for the Deuce Jacking Procedure: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/deuce-jacking-procedure.200008/post-2329846 Unfortunately, no mention of the...

We agree without question that a 1985 AM General and exact same truck called a military vehicle are the same. The only thing that concerns me are the "Insurance Weasels". That is the best way I know to say it without saying bad words and Wordsmithing with Lawyers isn't ever good in my...

My policy has trailer coverage for "owned trailers" and also lists others not owned by me. Trailers vary from state to state. South Carolina for example doesn't need a tag at all, just hook it up and go. In North Carolina, tags are required. I don't remember the exact wording of that...

The dollars that to purchase a lift for a Deuce would be several times the cost of the truck. A first class ten ton floor jack and lots of 6x6 or 6x8 or 8x8 wooden blocks (cribbing) would be a safe way to block up your truck. Pictures below for rubber cribbing and a big floor jack...

I got "jacked" around by four different carriers trying to get insurance for my MV's in North Carolina. I was told no by Nationwide, Hagerty, State Farm, and Progressive. I was grasping at straws when I looked into Progressive... There was no real reason other than being told "no" and my...

Very impressive modeling skills! Neat how you have the finish or patina so it looks aged. Even some dirt on the tires... VERY COOL! -

Stranger things have happened, but does your spare carrier move a little - and then stop? I have seen the tire get stuck on top of the tool box and control box. The "stuck" has pushed the spare tire enough (on some trucks) to bend the metal on top the tool box. There are also screens (orifice...

I would dearly LOVE to have real drawings that we could print. Would be thrilled to print real blueprints if somebody has something better than the TM for the source. - Tim

You can have 2 or 4 batteries in that truck. There are three pictures attached from three different trucks. Assorted sizes and shapes... Shop around a little and pick whatever. Really cold weather might need four, but there are an awful lot of the guys with two batteries - and they are...

I know we needed targets, but it really is/was sad to see that all that armor going to waste... THANKS msgjd for the information and spotting guides. Sure would be even more fun to have a cute little M60 to play with. Heck, even one to sit in and make engine noises would be fun to have! -

Now THAT would be an exciting truck to drive to the (insert name) Rally! Flying down the highway with a rocket mounted on the back of a Mxx 5-Ton. The real question would be: Do we have to paint the tip of the rocket orange so nobody freaks out about it being a fake rocket? :cool: .

That is definitely a sweet truck! A little dirt on the tires gives it "character" too. .

Wow! Very nice toy for sure. Should it be painted green? .

Not sure. Just walked out there and measured the "pocket body" a few minutes ago. 10 Feet long. The quick search I did found seemed about 20 feet. Maybe? Guess the other thing I need to do is measure from lock to lock (front to back). .

I recently picked up a JLTV Trailer. Air Brakes, Air Bag Suspension, Disk Brakes and a removable "Pocket Body" with a canvas top with aluminum bows. The trailer appears to be an ISO Transport Chassis - where there are 4 "Twist Locks" (except that the tires would be in the way). Is there any...

Some folks call the "parking lights" (also called "lollipop" lights). The lollipop lights do not turn on if the headlights are on. There is a fix for that in Post #8 .

Congratulations! Happy to hear that you have a new (green) sweetie coming soon in your life :cool: It sounds to me that you have Overcome and Adapted - Tim

Any details about the rocket that is attached? Yield? Anything at all? I would offer to cruise over and look, but the other coast makes it a little difficult. .

What seems to happen to happen with my trucks is that I go to fix "Thing #1" and then "Thing #2" surfaces, so it gets repaired too. So long as you are happy turning wrenches - and occasionally get disappointed when two hours turns into five - you can have a big truck and have fun too. The more...

I mumbled, I grumbled, I said "not nice" words too when those yellow lights "wouldn't work" on my truck... When I discovered it (by accident) I was happier than no parking lights at all! gringeltaube has the link just above that allows you to have both. :cool:
