Read. When you're done with that, read. And then, try reading. The amount of data out there on radio operations and engineering will stagger your mind. Entire libraries are filled with radio-related texts, and that's only the beginning. The more you learn, the more addictive the hobby...

There was an original 6x6 version of the M151 jeep called the XM-408. If any originals still exist, I couldn't tell you. TNJ Murray made some clones of them for a while out of parts units. Here's one I snapped a picture of at ollied's place last weekend, it was built by Pizzoferrato. Ollie...

The M37 I took to Haspin in 2010 got mud bogged a little, I sold it in 2012, and the guys who bought it found still-moist Haspin mud in the bed frame rails earlier this year when they tore it down for rebuild. The slick Indiana mud REALLY lasts!

Well, guys, I'm probably out, and for several reasons. The stack-up of inconveniences preventing me from showing up is now near insurmountable, so unless things go PERFECTLY for everything in my life next 10 days, I won't be able to make it. Biggest thing on the list is finding a replacement...

My opinion is, if the price is fair, get it even if you are not really interested in restoring it yourself, as long as you can afford it and your wife won't kill you. Post here in the classifieds to get it a suitable home, someone who loves CCKWs and wants to give it a caring home. Sometimes...

Been a couple weeks since I could spend any time on this site, been working like a nut, which is a good thing. Always a great time had at Aberdeen. The friends are always a joy to see, the weather was great, the auction on Friday is fun, and got to relax and sell some odds and ends at the...

Will be set up around Yellow LM2, same as past couple years, I believe, Dudley knows my exact spaces. Will be there from early Thursday morning to late Saturday afternoon. Will have some military radio gear, WWII to 1980s, for sale. Some odds and ends, but not a lot like in previous years...

Those are cool, but I wonder if they know what they can get for them if they take them down from there and list them here in the classifieds. With what I see above, I'd be surprised if they could get LESS than $10K for the lot.

MORE PICS! Looks like it was a great show again, sorry I had to miss it due to work. Hopefully I'll get to see a few of the NJ/NY guys in Aberdeen in a few weeks....

You hang out with people at the rally? I always thought you were back in your little hidey-hole away from everyone else because you're such a people person. ;)

A few I scanned for those who have the biggest 4x4 in the MV world. Recovery and wrecker operation training manuals for the M553 GOER, from Aberdeen Ordnance Center, MD, 1984.

Will bring a tray of brownies for you then.

Proof that China will copy anything (sorta) to make a couple bucks. Thanks for the review.

I hope it's just as fun a time as ever! Won't be the same without Stretch, though. "Personal tune-up", huh? We used to call them hookers back in the day... :)

Well, I'm out - have to work this weekend and can't take the time off at this point. Have fun guys, enjoy MTA, I'll get up there someday...

Amazing what a new coat of paint will do to the appeal and value of a classic MV. Great job so far! Now time for the finishing touches and accessories....

Once again, had a great time - almost didn't make it, broke down on the way up with a coolant loss issue, trip back was uneventful. 345 mile round trip. The trucks had a few minor issues on the trails, one CUCV with a fuel filter issue, 215dave's truck lost all brake air pressure on a gnarly...

Wow, that looks like it hurt bad. Prayers out to ya, hope you mend quickly! And limping there is fine! Take your time....

I just noticed a trend - seems to happen at every RC rally. 40 people say they are going to go, and 20 show up. We're glad we have the 20, and they are the regulars that we are glad to see! But just a trend I noticed, lotsa I-can't-make-its at the last minute. Hope you can't-make-its can...

Turns out I have to work Friday morning - will be getting there normal time, late Friday afternoonish.
