    Any modified parking brake

    I don't think a pinion brake is a good idea on these trucks. There are several threads explaining the issues, but driveshaft speed and the open differentials make them not a good match for our trucks. The ends are different as well. The earlier squeeze type handle has a threaded end, like...

    Any modified parking brake

    Just rebuild it. I rebuilt mine when I bought my truck 11 years ago and all I've had to do to it since has been replace one or two broken springs and keep it greased. They are hard to adjust properly- they're more complex than they look. And to properly rebuild one, you need to remove it from...

    ok, so a few things. I'm still working on the shirts. I hope to have them there. Totally, 100% my fault, I just haven't had time to deal with this. Since 2020, I've worked 7 days a week and there just isn't enough time and I'm dealing with some me stuff (deaths in family, health issues...

    Folks, we're barely more than 60 days out. So make sure your equipment is serviced and all of your dukws are in a row. Also, here's the buy-sell-trade thread...

    The official 2023 Southeast Military Vehicle Rally buy-sell-trade thread (the event formerly known as the Georgia Rally).

    Hey everyone. Rally is approaching and now's the time to get the buy-sell-trade thread up. Here's how this works: you post up what you have for sale and maybe you can make a pre-sale and you post up for what you're looking for and maybe someone who wasn't planning on bringing that item sees...

    This would be a good place to add this.................. Although cabins on the Windrock facility would be the preferable choice, town is only 10-15 minutes away and there are quite a lot of boarding choices there. One of the benefits of Windrock was the proximity to town; at Durhamtown, if...

    One of our regulars asked if Windrock had a dump station for RVs. Got the response this morning: It's at the end of Row C in the RV section. C

    For anyone who has never been, the Denton event is most excellent.

    Folks, you only have like 8 months to get your act together, so get on it! We are really going to work on making 2023 as much like 2008-2012 as we can. The early Ga. Rally was super personal, super laid back, we all sat at a campfire at night, there was dynamite, it was great. As it got bigger...

    M108 deuce wrecker engine swap

    It seems like every airpack I take apart has a seriously corroded can. Big Mike has access to replacement cans, but by the time you buy a kit, and a can, you might as well have bought a new or NOS one.

    My drive wasn't terrible. On the way up, Mac and I took a bunch of backroads to avoid the interstate traffic but on the way back, we just hauled a....... backside down 75, 285, 85, then 316. My trip back was only 3.5~ hours. I didn't bring the deuce because it was so overdue on maintenance...

    Just a reminder about calling Windrock about your cabins (if you want a cabin or RV spot). For 2022, a big problem (and honestly, the source of 90% of the complaints) was the lack of cabins. I totally get it, and that's why we worked really diligently to get the 2023 date so quickly, and...
