I filmed these at the 2015 Sun and Fun fly in my hometown of Lakeland Florida. http://www.sun-n-fun.org/
It is well worth a look if you can make next year. I saw a real Mitsubishi Zero.

These beauties were at the Sun and Fun this year. The Raptor flew with a P51 Mustang and a P38 Lightning for the tribute pass. My boys waiting for the night show to start.
Took the M1009 and my newly acquired Pioneer tool trailer on a camping trip to St Augustine Florida from Lakeland Florida. The 1009 pulled the trailer with ease. I even think I felt the brakes working on the trailer. I saw a couple of five tons in Eustis for sale but did not get pics of them...
Merry Christmas! Me and the boys in the M1009 are heading up I75 to Georgia just north of the SSGR site. I'm running a decoy run and the real infiltration is a couple hours behind and heading to the other side of the state. Maybe he will chime in. Just left Lakeland Florida and the 09 is doing...
A fellow Steel Soldier member (http://www.steelsoldiers.com/member.php?18266-alanb) brought his 1987 M35C over so we could install some new inner axle seals. Alan went over to see http://www.steelsoldiers.com/member.php?31848-steve6x6x6 on Friday and picked up the seals. We had help from a new...
I took the boys to McDonalds for breakfast and to play in the playland. I was just finished when the wife says " there's an army truck outside". She will never learn not to show me these things! I jumped up and went outside to investigate. I found a M37 on a trailer. It was in great shape! It...
We're off in the bobber this morning. The boys, wife and me. We are going up to Sanford Florida from Lakeland to see Rayzer. Going to have lunch with him and some other members but I don't know they will be. I'll take pics of the trip and post em up we we get back.
My brother Rick, Rbeasley66 on here, entered his M35 and M105 in the Lake Mirror Classic auto show. This is the second time Rick as entered his truck. He has taken home a Peoples Choice Award this year and last. The vets that walked by all stopped and looked at his set up. He added a lot of...
Well we're off to do it again, rbeasley66 and I. We are leaving in the morning in my M109 to drive to Ft. Campbell KY to pick up another (his) M109. 1500 hundred miles round trip! We must be insane! We plan to flat tow this one. We have a meduim tow bar and military tow lights and good safety...
Well I'm proud of my M109 "Troll"! She ran 61 mph on the way up to Albany to pick up a couple of M35's. I installed a boost gauge and the stock engine made 7 to 8 psi @ top speed, higher on the hills, went up to 12 psi sometimes. We ( flop88 and I) headed up on Sunday and stayed in a nice motel...
I have heard from a good source that ABN173 (Dale) will be in Tampa the 21st through 25th of June! I think it's time for another trip to Jimbo's BBQ! Who wants to drive the Deuce taxi? Sixspeed, Walter, James, Me? Do you guys think the same day and same time?
I will bring my M109, anyone else...
So after having this truck for 7 months now and with 2 rallys under our belt, Ga 09 and FL 10, I have commited myself to doing a proper camper conversion, complete with shower and commode. I have already picked up a dinnete sleeper unit out of a motorhome and have puchased a 24v input 2400 watt...
Went with my brother to pick up his deuce! I drove my M109 for support. Put about 180 miles on it today. He got a nice m35 with winch, airshift transfer and a d-turbo. It has the tall canvas top and good troop seats.
I think we need to change fuel filters and maybe turn up the fuel a little...
Did anyone see this deuce on GL? It went for $11,500. It had been at that price since the auction started and closed at that!

I have six M109 windows at sarge_3ad house in Osceola, IA. Looking for someone that is coming from that area toward the southeast somewhere. Could meet in Tenn. or Kentucky. Did not want to ship because of the glass and the weight. My dad lives in near Athens Ga. and could do the pick up for me...
We left Florida at 7:30 Wed, drove 1350 miles to Grayling in 22 hours. We waited at Mcdonalds for them to open for breakfast at 6AM. We found the pick up site and waited for Joe to arrive. Joe was already there and had my truck and several others running and pulled out. I was expecting to have...
Here's one for ya. A fellow gave me this 1/2 horsepower Lauson Built engine that powered a 12/500 volt genset for radio transmitters inthe Navy. All I have is the engine and the frame. I had to insulate the coil primary wire and did a basic cleaning of cosmoline but it started right up even...
Hi all, just wanted to properly introdeuce myself. I know that's corny but so am I. I won a M109 at the Grayling auction/snafu at the end of last month. Am currently awaiting EUC approval before I trek the 1300 or so miles to the great north woods to recover the beast. We will be trailering it...
