I have been recording some cold start videos and posting them on the Steel Soldiers YouTube channel. My coldest yet was this morning - a balmy -1°. It started quickly with no significant smoke or bucking. Just goes to show how well the glow plug system works when in good order. What’s the...

Hey guys, Sorry I haven’t updated my M1152A1 build thread in a while. Got busy with some family activities this summer and slacked off. I will update it soon! That said, I have been driving my HMMWV to work and around town some. The transmission seemed to be working pretty well after I worked...

I’ve been thinking about picking up a new HMMWV project for the last year or so, and I finally took the plunge! This M1152A1 showed up at my house today! It’s a 2007, but was rebuilt and put back into service in 2014, so it’s actually titled as a 2014. It is mostly complete other than everything...

Anyone in the Odenton or Gambrills, MD area that can take a look at a HMMWV for me?

Please help me wish @patracy a very happy 10th anniversary as our SS admin! The actual day was back in November, but I missed it. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Andrew has done an amazing job steering the ship over the last 10 years and has helped SS grow into the military vehicle supersite it was always meant to be. I...

In case you missed it, Steel Soldiers hit 100,000 members today! I just want to say thank you to everyone who made this possible including the members, admins, and moderators! I couldn’t have done it without y’all! Next stop, 200,000!

Found a truck near there that I would like to save. Is there anyone nearby that can do an inspection?

Here at Steel Soldiers, we have always maintained that discussions on munitions are NOT allowed, but after much debate, we have decided to change that policy. We understand that many Steel Soldiers members are firearms enthusiasts as well as military vehicles enthusiasts. The two just go...

Hey guys! Would you be interested in participating in a convoy to the 2021 MVPA convention? I have been thinking about setting one up. We would have South, East, and West convoys that would convene in Indianapolis and then drive the last 150 miles to South Bend together. It would be a lot of fun...

Hey everyone! We are very excited to announce that we will be doing a joint Steel Soldiers/MVPA Rally at the Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (AOAA) on the weekend of August 10th! That is the same weekend the MVPA will be finishing up their 2019 convention in York, PA, which is about an hour...

My dad bought this M756A2 off of GL in 2003 with aspirations of restoring it with his boys, putting it to work on occasion, and mostly just enjoying driving it. Unfortunately, life gets in the way, so he ended up using it very little over the last 16 years. Now, he has sadly run out of time and...

Next year, we’ll be celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Steel Soldiers!! Can you believe it?! We have decided to make our our 20th Anniversary more special by commissioning a new logo that we can put on all sorts of SS swag like t-shirts, stickers, hats, etc... We could hire some graphic design...

Well, I went and did it over the weekend. I bought a 1962 M37B1 from a fellow SS member here in West Virginia. I’ve been hankering for a new MV for a long time, and when this one showed up on Craig’s List, it looked like just the ticket! It currently runs and drives, but doesn’t stop. It has...

Hey guys. I’m looking at a crusty, rusty, ugly 1945 MB. I mean, it’s hideous, but it’s a Willys MB! Someone has definitely done some mods to this truck over the years. Some of the obvious changes are a hard top/doors, turn signals on the fenders, multiple coats of paint, and a home built rear...

I took the M1101 out for its first proper tow behind my new H1. It had been sitting around collecting leaves since I sold my HMMWV. Shockingly, one of the tires had gone flat, but I was able to use my handy dandy CTIS compressor to air it back up. The only other issue was the pivot on the stiff...

I picked up a 1997 Hummer H1 HMCO (4-door, open-top) over the weekend to be used as my new daily driver. I really missed my Cummins HMMWV after I sold it to TedG a few years ago and have been wanting one ever since. While the H1 is not officially a military variant, it shares enough of the...

Tim, please PM me when you see this post. Thanks!! Chris

We ended up with about 7-8" of the heavy, wet snow from Sandy. Our road was a sloppy mess with tree limbs down everywhere and more branches and tree tops breaking off every few minutes. As you can see, a pretty good sized limb fell across my M1101 trailer. Thankfully, the trailer is fine outside...
