After watching these guys do dives and climbs and all kinds of maneuvers out in the open desert, it gave me some confidence that they could actually be quite dangerous to anything they didn't want to be nice to. Was cool to behold.

Here is my first video on Youtube: Simple drive in the middle of no where. The previous night was just mud everything. Amazing how the desert just sucks up the water. M813 6x6 Driving in the Desert

I have all three of the generators working good now. Had to replace all the fuel lines on all of them and Vuala! Making noise and a bit of electricity! Took one of the little guys with me out on our Utah MV outing over Feb 1-3. Was great! Should have taken a bunch of pics and vids of wheeling...

Picked me up two MEP 531a 2Kw generators and a MEP 802a 5Kw on a trailer this week. Drove 1700 miles to the two GOV planet sites to pick them up. Ordered some air, oil and fuel filters for them thanks to the guidance of the nice TMs and threads here on SS. Will be making one of the 2Kw units a...

It was the "upper one" of the steering hydraulic lines for the power steering if your talking about where it ran along the cross frame member between the two frame rails. I have snipped a couple of screen shots of my purchase off of EBAY to help you see what I purchased to resolve the issue. I...

Tested the mix today and it looks like I missed my 60% by just a couple of %

Swapped out the power steering hose that had poked a hole back in Febuary. That road side fix was so good I was lazy and put off installing the fixfor way to long. I had to cut the original tube off with a small tubing cutter to get it out from behind the other steering hydraulic line. The new...

Agreed! I am sure those washers are going to look more rusted than that exhaust manifold in no time.

Gasket done, I am feeling 4 washers lazy today.

@US6x4 WOW all my hoses look brand new in comparison to what your holding onto there. Ruff! Heater is in, I did a pre-test of it first in the kitchen. It begins to boil water in 4 seconds. I replaced the 1 1/2"x 3" long hoses, as I cracked a bit of the braided strands in them getting the drop...

I am finally getting around to doing an Antifreeze change and a block heater add in + a inline coolant filter which will be placed inline with the replacement heater core I purchased early this year. To do this with a full flush I drained all what I could from the radiator then pulled the...

@NebraskaFan, you are correct on the hood. Unfortunately my hood is caved in up next to the cab and actually has been rubbing a hole through the hood where the chain lift plates of the motor have been rubbing on it. I am guessing from a bunch of our great boys in camo were climbing up on the...

Ended up buying 5 gallons of the NAPA SCA Precharged Concentrate Antifreeze. Friend has a Napa Commercial Acct and was able to get it to me for significantly less than the 22 dollars it normally goes for. I have some distilled water to mix it up with. I will be adding a block heater (that...

Went to the Utah MV Summer outing up American Fork Canyon. Had a great time! Rig worked flawless and I even slept in the S-280 shelter which was awesome. Great times! Will be heading to hit the next one for fall sometime in October.

Oops Double posted that when trying to get pics from off my phone... LOL

Drove in the Provo Grand Parade in the Vietnam Era group. Somewhere around 330,000 people estimated to be in attendance. Followed an M35 that looked like it just came off the plane from Vietnam. That rig totally fitting the feel of the era. I felt ashamed I had even washed my tires! Twice...

Changed the oil on this Past Saturday and had some "Trouble" getting the filter canister to seal over the new filter. Tightened it three times before I was not getting any drips out of it. Sure makes you uneasy when you start considering each gallon is 20 bucks and removing the canister to...

Picked up 7 Gallons of the Synthetic Mix Rotella T5 oil for an oil change and... Bought off of GOVPlanet an S-280 Box on a spirt of the moment buy. I told myself if I can buy it before fees for less than a thousand I will get it. ... Sold for $997. LOL. So I drove 1450 miles round trip to...

Bought from the MV Idaho Motor Pool Auction some parts. A mighty thanks to some of the other MV owners here in UT that went in on some of the bids with me and split up parts which made it a much more economical thing. Picked up 4 Torque Rod Ends, an NHC250 oil filter, a NHC250 head gasket kit, a...

I have never had synthetic in the axles or t-case. Had Valvaline 90w before. Has a 205 transfercase and Dana 60 front and Dana 70 in the rear. Averaged 67 or so mph, No overdrive in this, just a 3 speed auto.
