    2018 SoCal Fall Rally

    Coming from Utah and you're still closer than me! I'd like to make it to this one, but that is right around midterms so I probably won't be able to (as per usual). Also a curiosity question, anyone from Northern California, the bay area specifically, going?

    Camp Petaluma West Coast MV Swap Meet, Gathering April 24-29, 2018, California

    Due to a change in plans I won't be able to make it to this one. Hopefully next time there is an event I don't have any unforeseen circumstances pop up again.:sad: Take lots of pictures if you can for those of us who can't make it and enjoy the nice weather!

    Cross country moving with a 5 ton/ need suggestions

    This is perfect advice about driving in general. I know several cops and they all say that there are virtually no vehicles they can't find a reason to pull over (light out, missing license plate, speeding, no seat belt, phone, etc., etc.) the only reason they pull a car over is because it is...

    Deuce crash in Winston-Salem, NC, 11/2017

    The Fusion driver made a misjudgment and paid for it dearly. Pulling out in front of a large truck (dump truck, semi, garbage truck, fire truck, etc.) will not end well for you. When in doubt, wait it out. The Deuce driver made a misjudgment and will pay for it dearly. Unregistered: Class 3...

    Fun with PA DOT officer ending in putting me out of service + $1200 in fines

    Numbers 2 and 3 are the most disconcerting. First, the company gets a commissions, that right there is a red flag. They should only get what they charge, with no strings attached. Two, they actively look for trucks that are from out of state in an effort to fine them. I don't know about you...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2017 - November VOTE HERE!

    The load with the excavator is inducing a large amount of squat, but the truck is still firmly rooted in the front How much more squat would accept if you were going to be travelling at freeway speeds (55mph)? And, as always, it is going to be a hard decision on who to vote for. Several of the...

    Camp Petaluma West Coast MV Swap Meet, Gathering April 24-29, 2018, California

    Well look at that, I am actually available to go up there. I'll have to see about camping or not, but I will try to make the trip up for at least one day. Only about an hour from my location, so even if I can't camp I still might make it for the 28th and 29th, and possibly the 27th. I will...

    split pre-1975 5-tons and newer:

    That was my thought, it would allow the threads to be moved slowly and still allow the conversations that are present to continue.

    split pre-1975 5-tons and newer:

    If you are suggesting that all threads about the M939 series and other new 5+ ton trucks be moved to a separate forum from the M39, M809, and older 5+ ton trucks that will be a logistical nightmare for the moderators and the administrators. That would require them to go through every single...

    Personal military truck negligence causes major accident.

    Trailer lights are extremely important I can name several times I was in a vehicle and the trailer in front of us didn't have operable taillights. The first, and only I'll share here. Sunny, fair weather, a few scattered clouds, and the day before it had rained for several hours, but the road...

    New to me M1075 and M1074 PLS

    I believe the demil code was changed on all HEMTT and PLS trucks. Basically if you want one you can't get it surplus, but if you find someone selling one you can get it that way is my basic understanding...however I could be completely wrong, so if someone with better knowledge could chime in it...

    GRAND OPENING MAY 28th 2016 American Armory Museum Military \ Car Show

    So this is what is on Abernathy Rd, I have driven by so many times, but never could find an SS member on here that claimed the place, interesting.

    Deuce rollover angle - useful if you want to mount an inclinometer

    Yes it definitely would not have passed my AP Chem class, but for such a vehicle 45 degrees would be an extremely steep rollover angle, and speaks volumes about the engineers behind the deuce, as if its other accomplishments weren't enough.. It would make plenty of sense though considering the...

    Deuce rollover angle - useful if you want to mount an inclinometer

    I read the report and if I read it correctly it is saying that 25 degrees is ROUGHLY HALF of what is needed to roll a deuce?! So that would mean that a deuce would rollover somewhere around 50 degrees!

    2017 SoCal Fall Rally

    The links are fine, but it just means I have to take the time to click them individually, but considering the fact that viewing photos normally consists of hitting the tiny button in the bottom corner for next it doesn't make much of a difference to me. :shrugs: Looks like it was a very...

    Who's Truck is that! That thing is sick. If a thread exists for it I would love to have the link as well to watch the build.

    2017 SoCal Fall Rally

    I wish I could make one, but Barstow is a h3ll of long trip from Vacaville. Might be worth it though if I could get a whole week to see family in Pahrump...of course if time and my schedule allows and others are willing I would be down for 1 week out in the desert with some OD Iron. All I know...

    Underbody Protection Kit

    170 pounds is more reasonable, but still light for what it is. I wonder if it was given a treatment? I am getting way too far into this though considering I don't own a HMMWV.
