    Adding 2” receiver hitch to HMMWV and hit a snag

    I bought this >>> My intent was to keep the pintle hitch and simply add a 2” receiver like this example (which I saw posted here by another member) >> However, I’m stuck here >> The 2” receiver is made with 1/2” steel plate. With that in place, the nut no longer goes all the way on the...

    m725mike?

    The darnedest thing happened. This followed me home. It sounds like a cliche, but she actually ran when parked over 3 years ago. My plan is to get her running again for parades and static displays. We’ll see how the work/restoration continues from there.

    STAL II 876

    Uprights and Bows - What do I have?

    I was told that these uprights and bows were for a Deuce when I acquired them. But after trying them yesterday, I now think otherwise. What are these uprights and bows intended for? The uprights are metal and measure 55” from the bottom to the bow. This causes the cargo cover to sit about 12”...

    S-318/G Shelter, Electrical Equipment

    @TAMU86 scored a S-318/G shelter that needed to be moved this weekend. Our plan was to use the winch on his Jeep to get the shelter on my trailer. The recovery went extremely smooth. It only took 1.5 hours to drive to the shelter, load it and get back home. Very rarely do things go according...
