What chargers are recovering AGMs without fail? I've been through several optimas that even an AGM charger can't restore.

Testing the waters to see if anyone is headed west with room for 11 G177 tires. SW OH to Kansas City, KS area. Even getting close might be doable.

Lieutenant Colonel insignia that was there so long it was promoted? There's no bird in LTC insignia. If there was a bird your meant Colonel.

Lighten up mac. Asking English speaking members of this forum to also write in English certainly isn't out of line. How can you expect fellow English speakers to read your posts when you don't follow rules that bind our common written language together? Your desire for forum members to decrypt...

That's a shame. GP built some credibility with Jwades presence here. Too bad they aren't interested in keeping it. I suppose they figured it didn't pay off

Looks nice, the owner certainly did some good work to it. But I'm not sure about $15k. Seems high, but if it's worth it to you then why not! I've only owned M35A3's that belonged to Uncle, so I don't know if removing the rear axle increases speed, but 60mph seems high. I'll bet that Cat is...

Finally my EUC came back approved. Anyone need a load to haul from Yermo (Barstow area), CA to Leavenworth/KC, Kansas?

We had SINCGARS in a few CUCVs in 1996-1999. VRC-88, 89, 90, 91 or 92 would all be correct. However, I'm sure you'll have much better luck finding a VRC-12 series radio.

I've had an EUC for a trailer pending since early December. Edited to add: 8 December exactly. I've been waiting for an EUC for a trailer since 8 December '16

You just couldn't stay away. Congrats on the new truck and welcome back.

M38 Jeeps were only made from 1950-1952. If it's a '56 it isn't a M38. As stated above the tub and dash panel certainly are not correct. Looks like a CJ-3a made into a faux M38. Steering and suspension dont look right for either an M38 or a CJ-3a. However, 6k isn't too bad for a mechanically and...

Looks good! Taking care of little bits of rust as they form is excellent PM. Wish I had time to do that kind of detail work. Great work preserving that old iron!

That's a M1961 Field Pack. The M1961 was a slightly improved version of the earlier M1956 Field Pack. The M1961 was Vietnam era but I saw them serving into the late '90s.

You're a good man Jwade, you've truly been an asset to steelsoldiers. Thank you for all of your hard work on our behalf.

Welcome from Leavenworth, KS. That data plate says manufactured in 1952. Sure is a very early M44. I'd also guess it's a hacked up V-17. If it was an original M756 they wouldn't have had to fabricate a bed and headache rack. The winch and location looks original and I'm not aware of another...

Anyone want to purchase a small airforce? I suppose we could all chip in and put together a steelsoldiers airforce, all for the token sum of about $200k. Perhaps we could convince a couple of members to restore the aircraft in their garages on the cheap too. But then we might need a bigger rally...

This is the tool I was referring to. It's self contained, no other pump required. It'll crimp your terminals with ease. http://m.harborfreight.com/hydraulic-wire-crimping-tool-66150.html Before I got this I used a vise, but I was rebuilding some battery cables and decided I wanted a cleaner...

The hydraulic crimper from harbor freight isn't too expensive and it works great. I usually solder and crimp my big terminals.

Still no EUC for my trailer at Yermo. :sad:

I never saw what they went for. I'm sure they weren't cheap.
