This post contains information I received verbally from a lawyer reportedly involved in a lawsuit against General Motors in the 1990's regarding a manufacturing defect in the rear axle shafts used in the M1009. This post is NOT intended to spark a debate on ANYTHING! This post is intended to...

I decided to move my surplus barracks rack from my M101A2 to my newly acquired M1102 and shot some side by side photos for a size comparison. The M1102 is only slightly wider overall than the M101A2 but the tub is a LOT wider. The M101A2 is almost a foot longer overall than the M1102. The M1102...

So I won an auction for a trailer on GL and now I am trying to figure out just what the **** it is! It's described as a Silver Mountain made CMT-F Tactical Trailer. It looks like a flatbed version of the M1101/M1102 cargo trailers with a thing on top. I have google searched CMT-F but all that...

HELP! Are there any M931 owners in south Ft. Worth Texas??? M813RC is there now buying a trailer and he needs to see if it will fit a M931! PM me and I will give you his phone number. THANKS!!!

OR: My 'new" M1009 parts truck! A Dodge Ram decided to mix it up with my M1009 last night, we BOTH lost but the Dodge came away with fewer salvageable parts. He ran a red light and turned left into me at about 40 mph. Yes, that is the bumper wrapped around the frame rail, and yes that is the...

The left turn signal on my M1009 has developed an annoying habit. When the Service Light switch is ON and the stock headlight plunger is in the OFF position (park and head lights OFF) the turn signals operate as normal (left blinks left and right blinks right, e flashers operate normal) When the...

So there I was, sitting at my computer opening up the shop this morning, when I heard this sound I could not recognize. I looked out yon window and saw a dumpster truck in the parking lot and the nose of my M1009 at a funny angle, which made me wonder "did I park that wonky this morning? Must...

The other night I started my M1009 and was warming it up with the lights on and the headlights flickered and went off! The park lights stayed and the high beams came on when I asked them to, the low beams came on when I switched back down but did not stay on and now they won't come on at all...

After years of looking I found an M762 near enough to me to buy! She is a Johnson, unk build date, serial number 14863, 1979 rebuild date, USMC owned (I am assuming this because of the lifting rings, please advise if I am wrong!). The body is straight, only surface rust and flaking paint/CARC...

I saw this at the Air Show today on Randolph AFB in San Antonio, thought the SS crowd might like to see it too:

I don't know how long this has been available, but apparently Texas has a registration for FMV motorcycles too: Former Military Motorcycle

Yesterday about 17:30 I saw a nice looking M35A3 on northbound Parmer at 620, being driven by a guy in a t-shirt who was checking out my M1009 as I was checking out his Deuce, an SS member perhaps? If not I need to track him down and get him onboard! NO this is not a personal add: "we...

So I sold my M35A2 to buy a M1028, should be easy, right? I have been looking all over and found almost NO M1028/M1008 for sale! I am in Central Texas so a close one would be sweet, but when I stretch the search out nationwide I only find a few, and when the modified trucks (12v, swamp buggy...

I used my M416 on Monday for her actual intended purpose! I hauled all of my guns, ammo and gear for a day long trip to the shooting range. I could feel her back there behind my M1009, felt like pulling an empty M101A2, except for the lack of brakes at stopping time. I have no idea how much...

I found this short film about the V100 while wandering aimlessly about the WWW... enjoy! US soldiers arrive in a V-100 Armored Commando car in Longbinh Vietnam to discuss its maintenance.

The Military Chanel is showing the movie "Play Dirty" with Michael Caine, made in 1969, about British commandos in North Africa in WWII. I guess the studio could not afford real German trucks so they fabbed some up from M37s. Pretty good film too...

This past Saturday was the open house and swap meet at the Museum of The American GI/Brent Mullins jeep Supply, lots of tanks and cool stuff everywhere. The battle was a sight to see, three tanks, two tank destroyers, two half tracks. It was worth the trip for me just to stand at the side of the...

I learned something this week: DO NOT substitute a 1/4" bolt and nut for the proper pin to lockout an unruly surge brake on a M101A2! Tractor Supply sells a 3/8" hitch pin that is 4.25" long for $2.99, THAT is the proper tool for the job. The bolt did the job on a 15 mile trip with an empty...

So I have decided to build a teardrop style camper on a M101 trailer I have and had a thought: instead of removing the body tub why not cut off all of the vertical surfaces and make a flat bed, like a M116 genset trailer? A flat bed would give me fenders and a wide flat (sort of flat) surface to...

I was stripping down my M101A2 for my camper project and got the front and right side off OK, but ran into trouble getting the left side off, the stake in the middle pocket was stuck. When I looked closely I found a hole on the outside of the stake pocket, when I looked even closer I discovered...
