I hate to be the anti-gimpy, but I always seem to have good experiences with GL, or at least neutral. I cannot say that I have had a bad experience with GL at all, I must be the only one. I have had, however, problems with getting on bases (not GLs fault), a few items were not as good as...
Looks like a M199 two-axle dolly up front pulling the semi trailer. The trailer itself is very unique, never seen one like it. Perhaps WWII or early 1950s?
CJ2A frame with M38 body. It's a Bitsa Jeep. Made of bitsa this, and bitsa that. They are very common.
Regardless, if he doesn't have a matching frame for the M38 body, you can still match what you have together and make a Jeep that won't be original, be will still be fun!
Why not fix it yourself? Cut the front wall off, build a new front wall out of wood, or plate steel, or aluminum sheet. That trailer still has plenty of life left in it!
I'm planning on bringing a CUCV M1009 but that's dependent on a couple bonuses that I am still waiting on. If that falls through, I'll just be towing a M101 to sleep in.
I have a bunch of pics of CUCVs, every one I have seen the front turn signal lens appears to be clear, with maybe an amber bulb behind it. However, most turn signal lens on other vehicles are amber, with a standard white bulb. Are the turn signal lenses on the CUCV supposed to be yellow, and...
Then the earliest of the FMTVs will start coming out, but that's a ways off. Plus with reset/rebuild programs, and defense dollars always short, more and more trucks will be sent through them to provide like-new trucks to the DoD at a savings over new ones. So the majority of the HEMTTs...
Is this a Canadian M104 trailer, or an old American M104 trailer? I can't see much of the front wall of the trailer box, but it looks like it has it's own tailgate, like the early M104 trailers the USA used in the 1950s.
I believe there are still PILES of them in the system. There have been only a few A2s that got let go so far, so there's a whole 'nother batch that we haven't even seen yet.
Does anyone have some historical insight into the models of cable reel trailers that have been used by the Army Corps of Engineers and other combat engineer-related units since WWII?
Subscribed - I'd be interested in seeing any recommendations. My local neighbor joediveguy has a M1009 that he says gets only about 15 mpg, want to see if there's anything I can recommend to him.
