    nchittendons m105 camper kick off

    I decided a while ago that I was going to turn my M105 into a camper. At that point, it was myself, my wife, and my 2 boys. At the time, they were 8 and 3. So, I started with this.... My deuce is tan, so I decided to switch it over as soon as possible. Got the trailer for $500. During the...

    ISO: factory HEMTT video

    Good day! We are putting the 977 into a car show this march, and plan to have a TV somewhere in the display area. We are hoping to find some factory videos from Oshkosh, or the US Army on the HEMTT (977 preferred). What i'm after would be the equivalent of the deuce videos you see where the...

    Wheel bearing inspection

    Trying to get the deuce ready for the Iola Military Vehicle Show coming up soon. Is there a "quick" and easy way to inspect bearings without a complete dis-assembly? I've never had to do brakes or bearings, and that is the last thing to be touched on the truck. I don't really want to make the...

    Iola 2015 recap w/pics

    Had a great time this year! Last year was more of a recon thing. We showed up Friday, bought some stuff, and scooted out of there. This year was great. Met a lot of great folks. Had a lot of great conversation. Picked up some great items on my list! It rained most of the day Friday. That...

    carb accelerator pump actuator

    To start, I am looking for one, or 10 to purchase. But from reading about the internet, this seems to be a problem on this truck. They like to break, and there isn't a supply of them for much longer. Has anyone looked into manufacturing these, or found a suitable replacement?? The last one...

    Trailer identification help

    Anyone know what this is/used to be? The owner says that it had a box on it, and any ID plates went away with the box. Been searching the web for a good portion of the day and found plenty of things that were "close." Anyone?

    Iola MV show and swap meet 2014

    Today was my first time ever attending the Iola show. I wasn't prepared enough to get the weekend off, and I wasn't prepared enough to bring the deuce.

    Can't mod the driver

    So I took my deuce to her first mud bogs. Actually, her first off road....anything. Also, my first off road. I used to drive an ATV around, and quite effectively, but this is a totally different animal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35GIFOY1ohg...

    Electrical fire

    I have a problem, but I think it "should" be an easy-ish fix. Stopped at a buddies' house to pick up some 50 gallon drums for waste oil. Fire up the truck to leave, turn on my lights, and start backing down his fairly steep driveway. Not quite dark here yet, but getting there. I roll about...
