    Graves Mountain MV Trailrides and Rally, September 1-5, 2016

    My shop van is up and running again, and I hope to attend. Will trail maintenance be performed during the Fourth of July weekend as in previous years?

    Tulsa winch?

    I think he's referring to the Warn on the decked-out firetruck.

    The big trip and a new MV.

    Is this the one? (It is still listed on Craigslist.) It has some nice non-standard features: bumper steps to get up to service the engine, cab heater, spring suspension driver's seat, at least the base to strap a fuel can to the driver's step, and windshield washer fluid dispenser. As you'll be...

    Deuce parts road trip

    Snicker. Just the same two rotten GSA pictures you saw. (Seriously. Do the photographers think they are on a stake-out and use a telephoto lens from a quarter mile away?) At least it wasn't covered by snow like I've seen in some auction pictures... You may want to try and contact the...

    Deuce parts road trip

    Roaddog, glad to see that a member here got that truck! I was eyeing it, but unable to pull the trigger. ("I DON'T need a winch, I DON'T need a winch... MUST BELIEVE that I don't need a winch...") I'm two hours northeast on I-81 near Roanoke, VA should an emergency arise or you need a place to...

    M109 Box Removal

    Whichever route you pick, consider removing or at least being gentle with the ladder storage brackets and retaining hook on the back of the van to the left side of the doors. They are often missing or mangled from these trucks, and not so easy to source.

    No Fuel, No Start, No Idea

    I just revived mine after six years sitting in the yard. I had the same issue. My brother-in-law found that whatever the fuel cutoff cable attaches to inside the housing for the mechanical fuel pump (forgive me, I'm sure there's a name for it.) was sticking. With some manual opening and...

    Defroster Enhancement Question

    Even when the deuce cab heater/defroster is hooked up properly, the vents don't throw much air onto the windshield. Miltrucks once had a pair of additional plates which could be bolted on over the vents incorporated into the dash to further direct the heated air toward the windshields, but...

    Replacing reflectors with lamps.

    I like these thoughts. In the same vein, I'm thinking about wiring up a "third brake light" to the trailer electrical plug for additional visibility. We'll see how well that works out...

    These were the first MVs I had anything to do with. I remember using them at big Boy Scout events outside the DC area.

    Dessicant/Drying Agent

    Stuff is working TOO well. Every few days early on required a new bag of dessicant. I finally gave up and opened the windows again... Perhaps it will work more slowly over the winter with the leaves down and lower humidity...:roll:
