On December 9th I made a ~6 hour round trip up to Jerome, Idaho and bought from a police officer an MEP-531A he was tired of moving around for years and hadn't had it running in just as long. Hour meter at time of purchase: 274.9 hours The front panel needs some repair and it is only held on...

Not a pure salvage yard, let alone a military vehicle one, just a commercial recycling center, but Clearfield Recycling, in Clearfield, UT has stacks of these steel crates / shipping & storage containers. They are currently $65 each (+tax for the ruling class). They said in March 2023 they're...

USA homes run 120/240v split, single phase (I believe that's the correct terminology). I have read multiple posts of very good information from @Isaac-1 about the MEP-701A/016B generator (the first military generators I've owned): Examples...

I would appreciate a little help diagnosing the problem of me not getting power on the output terminal and the Main A/C Circuit Breaker tripping with no load: My 1986 MEP-016B (with ~784 hours) starts and runs great, even after a long period of sitting. I have my generator configured in the...

Yesterday (Feb 04th, 2022) I purchased an MEP-803A 10kw mounted on an M116A3 trailer with the "Power Unit PU-798" body. I believe both were manufactured in 2003 and were rebuilt/reset in September 2010 and delivered in October 2010. The generator had 77.4 hours of runtime. It even still had the...

I just purchased a LifeSaver jerry can (designed and manufactured in the UK). It is an all-in-one hand pump water purifier in a jerry can platform and holds 18.5 liters (~4.9 gallons), which due to the internal hand pump and filter (and structure reinforcing holes) is just slightly less than the...

I saw a post by @patracy about a membership drive for $10 for a year. I have a current/active membership but I thought it was a great opportunity to get a deal and extend my membership. However, it appears the purchase will run concurrent to my existing membership instead of extending it. I...

My current signature is what it used to be before the recent site upgrade (mostly linking to my various vehicle threads): Utah Military Vehicle Club (UMVC) member Facebook: Utah Military Vehicles (separate from the UMVC) 1972 AM General M35A2, w/w + M66 Gun Ring 1966 Johnson Furnace Co. M105A2...

Our Spring 2019 event was very successful! So to follow that, we're having our Fall 2019 Utah Military Vehicle Meetup & Swap Meet to take place at the Ogden, UT Smith & Edwards. The official Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/2454266591454546/ This is a 1/2 day get-together where...

Yes, yes I have purchased another trailer (purchased on September 5th, 2019). :whistle: This trailer was listed locally about 15 miles from my home and I just couldn't say no to it for the price and condition. It is an M116A2 chassis with a Power Plant AN/MJQ-33 body sporting two 3KW MEP-701A...

I wanted to discuss a minor difference between a older style master cylinder (probably original) off my 1997 Pribbs M101A3 trailer. First, a side-by-side comparison. The new one is (obviously) the shiny silver, which is the "marine" (wet environment) finish: Part Number: 10614-M...

Well, I sold my 1968 M101A1 and, in favor of the surge brakes, bought this 1997 Pribbs M101A3 from Gunzy! Obviously from the stenciling it places it as a former USMC trailer. It hardly has been used too, but not surprisingly the surge shock is bad and the master cylinder was dry and...

Using the Advanced -> Manage Attachments to upload photos is back to being problematic. If I select more than one photo to upload the attachment manager spins for ~20 seconds and then nothing. No photos uploaded. I have to select and upload each photo One. At. A. Time. That's overly tedious. I...

Annoucing the first of, I hope to be many for Utah, Military Vehicle meetup and swapmeet! This is a 1/2 day meetup and swap meet will start after breakfast. We buy/sell/trade our parts/gear/vehicles. Talk, check out each other’s rides, tell tall tails, have lunch and go our separate ways by...

I have what I believe is an MSA MCU-2/P gas mask as pictured below. Its lens is yellowed from age, but it has a 2-pin connector for what I also believe is a microphone? I've done a lot of searching and found some less than helpful videos of people talking about the mask and even a voice emitter...

Guys, stay safe out there with your rigs, insurance and preventative maintenance. (I highly suggest a dash camera in all your vehicles too). Today, Monday October 15, 2018 the driver of the Chrysler 300 died in a collision with an M44, M809, or M39 series 6x6 (hard to tell which exactly from...

I want to post a Want Ad for an item. Am I allowed, in the same post, to list items I have that I'd also be willing to trade (or partial trade) for said item, or do I need to create a Classifieds For Sale post first and then link to it?

Does a Premium SteelSoldiers membership remove the banners and advertising on the site, or do certain ads remain regardless? I'm not referring to the Classifieds. The "Upgrade" section is short on information. It only says: "Premium Membership - Grants user access to the classifieds forum...

Is it permissible to leave a classified ad up, even if all items are sold, just until the buyer receives the item(s)? That way if there are any questions/disputes with items received, the seller can point the pictures in the thread? Or is this desired to be handled differently?
