You know how you are looking at an auction site and sometimes you throw a big on something because it can't possibly be that cheap.... Decades ago, I bought a deuce for a remote welding rig, but I was very young and naive so wound up with a tired gasser REO from 1951. Loaded sand trucks would...

Has to be moved by Friday, Jul 13. You know how it is, you happen to see something you totally don't need, but it's cool and it can't possibly go for that cheap... oo, I semi-inadvertently bought a deuce In Arbuckle. Eventually it gets moved to Santa Cruz,CA, but for now I just need it to get...

I know I need to RTFM on the TMs, but I'm juggling an awful lot so hoping for a little luck and grace here. Recent purchase of a 2005 unit in non-working condition (so they say). Filters, oil change, fuel, batteries, replace some return fuel line and the incomplete holder for F1, and it starts...

I just scored a set of four rigid shelters down at Yermo, now I have to move them about 400 miles north. I'd like them to wind up in Santa Cruz (or Scotts Valley), but if it happens that somebody has capacity to take them to Fresno on the cheap, I've got a staging area that I could use. The move...

SPI (Southern Polyurethanes, Inc.) makes all sorts of automotive paint products and they seem to specialize in quality products for the hobbyist and small shop market as their products seem to have larger recoat windows and such. Anyway, I bought some of their DTM epoxy recently and in...

Gentex makes the AMP headset with detachable downlead "connectorized", so fine. They also offer up a couple different downleads: U174 in mono, U174 stereo, MPU5, or one in airframe ICS. The stereo U174 is said to allow different signals to each earcup, but I've no clue how they can do that. I...

2019 it was about $150/qt. I just called around and got prices in the $250-280 for something easy like white.

I'd love to weld a 1/4" threaded stud to a plate. I own a stud-gun resistance welder for automotive bodywork, but of course that doesn't have the power. Online searches tend to talk about capacitive-discharcge or other exotic machines, so that's out as well. I'm thinking along the lines of...

The title pretty much says it all. Is there a spot to upload manuals for a T-55 or Clansman radio gear?

I'm rebuilding a CVR(T) Scorpion and I've finally gotten to the point where it's time to do something about the torsion rods. Mine are/were taped though I read later they went to an epoxy paint. My vehicle sat for years in hostile conditions before it came to me and it had enough water ingress...

I've got one vehicle that was Belgian/British, so has a couple bits of VIC-1 looking gear left and then my Ferret was in service in Canada and I know some of them ran British radio gear and some ran British. So, how is the Clansman stuff? It looks like a pretty decent system and with fewer...

What are folks using inside their tanks, APCs, etc.? I'm wanting some flame/fire-resistant white for the interior of more modern stuff and aluminum for older stuff. The white I'm working to replicate is glossy and the aluminum is high-solids, rather flat and flaky, so does rub off on one's...

So, I sort-of impulse-bought a Ferret today. I'd had ferret crushes before, but a few years back when I thought I had the time and money to commit to armor I convinced myself that *everybody* had a ferret and I should get something a little more impressive. That's how I ended up with two...

There is a M725 near me for sale that has been hacked-up and I'm wondering if I might want it to play with for "the right price" and what that price should be. Someone cut the body off just above the front doors and below the back door windows. They put a new roof on the back but the front is...

I bought a 6.6-powered F700 recently and it seems setting the timing just-so really helps wake them up so I thought I'd see if anyone here knows a shop, perhaps someplace around Bakersfield, who is good with timing the older Bosch mechanical IPs. I can turn up the fuel and governor easily enough...

https://www.roadie.com I expect it might be useful for smaller stuff at least. Of course, for those of us not running on restricted titles or insurance it might be a nice way to help fund the odd trip. I for one would love to get a welder shipped and have it show up on the back of a deuce. :-)

A couple deuces and a couple 5-tons went pretty cheap, sadly I got distracted and forgot to bid. :-( Looks like the Modesto trucks had a lot less graffiti than Govplanet or even Government-Liquidation auctions, sort of fun. Any members get new trucks here...

So, almost exactly a year ago I won a bid for a M109 on Govplanet. After almost 9 months they still hadn't gotten the rad cert filed but I finally managed to get a refund. So, I decided to start looking locally. I saw some listings but nothing with a price/condition ratio I was happy...

Do we have a place for them? I've got some British ones from my CVR(T) projects.

Any good experiences welding Al armor here? The rear sponson on my CVR(T) was so badly damaged, somebody patched it with some 6061 or something and the patch just rotted out in a most impressive manner. I wound up cutting it off entirely. Now I need to find some compatible material for a...
