    My M105 Recovery

    Sure, trailer recoveries are pretty boring but hey, why not post it them all... Made the 4-1/2 trip up to Fort Polk yesterday to pick up my trailer. Walked into the visitor center to get my pass. The MP saw the trailer I was pulling and asked what I was picking up. I told him a M105 trailer...

    Ft. Polk assistance

    Does GL provide a forklift at Ft. Polk to assist with loading. I plan on trailering a M105 this week and need to know if this is something they will load for me if needed or do I need to bring some extra muscle??

    Cost for used 395's

    I found a guy that is getting in a load of 395's in the next week or so. He has both the Michelin and Goodyear in 395-85R20. I spoke with him last week and he said that he would put together a good set of used (80%+ tread) tires for about $160 - $175 each (depending on actual tread wear. His...

    Wheel options for 395's

    I found a place that carries used 395's pretty cheap, but the owner of the place tells me that the military drills holes in the tires. Can the holes be repaired? And what are the best options for wheels. I've heard that stock will work...

    Camo Pattern Options

    My deuce currently has the 3 color camp pattern, but the cab, bed and troop seats have 3 distinctly different color brown colors which leads me to believe that the bed was replaced at some point and the troop seats were put on after that. The bed is in near perfect condidtion while the cab has...

    My first oil change...

    What a rude awakening. My procedure... 1. Let truck sit for 15 minutes to let the filters drain out. 2. Drain the rear plug first. 3. Drain the front plug. 4. Remove the front liquid locked filter cartridge and make a big mess on the driveway. 5. Repeat step 4 and double the mess...

    Hood Hinges - ??

    My hood hinges have a lot of slop in them. They are loose, rattle and there is some rust under paint around the bolts and hinge. They will be coming off so I can clean up the rust issue. Is it worth trying to get the hinges fixed to get the slop out, or is it simply worth it to spend a...

    Which paint and which codes/colors?

    My deuce is the standard woodland camo (see profile pic). I've been reading older threads about using Sherman Williams CARC paints vs Rapco. I will be repainting the truck after I complete all the minor rust repairs. Should be ready to paint in by late spring. What is the experiences...

    Deuce A2 - Opinion

    I'm considering a private sale from the dealer who picked up a Deuce from Camp Shelby a while back. All the leg work has been done as far as getting it recovered and having it made road ready. I looked at it yesterday and this is a very tight running deuce. Strong motor, no leaks and good...

    M35A3 Inspection at Camp Beauregard La.

    Driving up to Pineville, La. in the morning to view the M35A3's up for auction this week. They have (I think) 26 total up for auction. Looking at the pics, most of them have very low or flat tires. This will be my first time previewing, and bidding on a MV. What can I expect during...
