Well I am posting here for ideas because I’m completely out at this point. It’s a long story but I’ll try to give you all the cliff notes version. Last Summer I moved back to my NC house by FT Bragg. I got into a electrician apprenticeship at IBEW LU 553. I had originally planned to go back...

Hi guys, Life has been busy and I have been MIA from the group for awhile now. Before I get to the heart of the post, I retired from active duty in 2016, moved to Columbus Georgia for a job that wasn’t as advertised and ultimately moved back to FT Bragg/Hope Mills, NC in August of last year...

Not 100% finished but close, I still need some adjustments but its pretty close. I ordered the cover from Saturn Surplus, used scrap angle iron, 3/16" eye bolts (substitute for the old twist toggle), and electrical conduit for the bows. -Dale

Need something moved? I'm moving from WA to GA then in a few months on up to NC. I may have room if somebody need something moved along the way. I start this move on 13 DEC, planned route is to go South through California then cut East once I'm past most of the mountains. I'm using the M35A2...

I am still deployed to Afghanistan (almost done though). Anyway last night something caught my eye so I went back today and talked to a worker in the area and asked if I could take a few pics. The story is one of the guys that is no longer here went and pulled these(2) from the "graveyard"...

I am still deployed and just purchased my first Deuce from GSA. AN/ARC186 (Dan) and srodocker (Scott) used a vacation day to take time off work(Dan) or went without sleep(Scott) in order to travel 60 miles North of Tacoma to recover my truck for me. So that's 120 miles round trip! Dan would not...

Ok I am not mentioning a current auction per say but I had never seen this before and thought I'd ask. I was browsing govdeals and found something odd, a bunch of listings from GL. These are not just links to GL listed items but appear to separate listings. I thought the payments were also...

OK GA you still have time to line up your Rally entertainment this year! Here was what AaronW had lined up for the PNW event. -Dale

Anyone else notice that the e-mailed notice thread links don't work? I tried several and they show up as blank/page not found.

Ok WoW I’m starting this thread for Scott (aka SRODOCKER) since I took the pictures. If I could sum up today’s project in one phrase it would be the one about biting off more than you could chew! ……..well it was not so bad but PVT Murphy was there for a bit in the beginning. We had a Craftsman...

I really wanted the M1031 contact truck at FT Lewis,WA. I was even willing to sell my motorcycle and even my M1008 in order to get it. I attempted to get a loan (so I could just auto-bid) and found out that my brother (who I made the mistake of cosigning for) decided to not make any payments...

Ok I don't wanna break any rules or remotely be involved in collusion but I would like some information from any of you M1031 Contact Truck owners out there. I guess I should mention my reason for asking is that I am thinking of buying one. So here goes in order to make an educated decision...

Hey guys, I just thought I'd post a small troop seat project that took up most of my weekend. I just added these not even a week ago but they needed painting really bad so This weekend I sanded by hand the slats until I realized I had a hand planer still new in the box.....anyway this...

Ok I searched for this one and found threads about electrical problems, my issue seems to be mechanical. Today when I went to drive home from work I tried for like 20 minutes before the switch would actually turn/rotate. I tried the normal stuff, such as jiggling the steering wheel adjusting...

What's the big deal about making a recovery? (jk) I just went cranked my new M1008 and drove it home............. ALL 2.6 Miles of it that is! I don't know if that sets a new record or anything but here it is. I spent all of today cleaning her up, I pulled the seat because at some point a...

OK I just won my first M1008, this is a replacement for my M1009 I had to leave in Columbus/FT Benning due to my PCS to FT Lewis, WA. I won for $1900. Of course you gotta love the guys who jump in at the last hour and run the price up. hmmm I wonder if it was a real person or just GL running...

I know this is a long shot, I have a shipping quote of $1200 already but I figured it was worth a posting. I had planned on driving my CUCV from FT Benning, GA to FT Lewis, WA at the end of this month but due to a accident (see http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?t=29528) I may be...
