Wow, what a difference! Great job on the goat!

For all of the M939 series trucks, the differences between the straight version of whatever vehicle you have (M923, M925, M931, etc) and the A1 is mainly the super single tires. I was told there are a few other minor differences, but heck if I know what they are, must be REALLY minor. The A2...

Looks good, Adam! Having a big green parts bin is something on my to-do list for years to come...

Can't remember - anyone happen to remember what issue that was?

Some while back, I remember an article (can't remember if it was in a 4x4 magazine or online somewhere) of a gentleman who had a Chevy chassis and engine, and built a nice reproduction HMMWV with a surplus hood, and made the rear body out of 3/4-inch marine-grade plywood. Laugh all you want...

Bruce, PM tacticaltruck, I believe he has a M172 that he might be willing to let you use in Northern VA.

Be good for offroading, and fitting in with military vehicles at a rally, but it sure won't have the capabilities of the HMMWV. I'm not a fan of the hood, too high in front, needs to be like the HMMWV and slope downward.

This is one reason why I will never move where there is an HOA with stupid rules. My property, my tax burden, none of THEIR business.

Lots of great parts on that carcass - I'm sure most of it will find good homes!

that's the stuff!

This might seem like a weird question, but has anyone seen a gun ring or weapons mount on a military fire truck, whether it be a 530 series or not? I know being a fire truck, it is kinda lumped in with ambulances as vehicles that are not SUPPOSED to have weapons mounted, but not sure what the...

Seems to me, bankruptcy or not, when you steal a man's car, that's called grand theft auto. Hope they get the bast**d who took it and lock him up for a while. Check all the local scrapyards, up to 50 miles away. Get info, get names, and tell the scrapyard's that they have to cooperate with...

Anyone snap a pic or video of the CUCV on the last hill climb on the south property? That was the one everyone else crawled up, but the CUCV driver had to "bounce" it at speed through the obstacle, and he did it 110%! Best I have ever seen someone do that little ditch...

No. Did you guys find you had to use two coats to get good coverage? I'm sure that painting a light color with a darker color, probably not. But maybe going from something that was 24087 and making is 383 green, might have to use 2 coats? Your thoughts?

I towed two M37s, one was mine and towed very well, tracking easily. The other was a friend's, it had trouble tracking when going around turns, the wheels did not want to "self-guide" and instead dragged around the turns. Not sure why the difference, but the deuce could handle towing either...

Has anyone here painted an MV with a paint roller (narrow one, like 3" wide) and had good results? If so, what type of paint did you use? Automotive or latex? Anyone got pics of their paint job this way?

I like it - looks awesome! Would be great on the off-road trails...

I have seen Chevy COE car haulers at many car shows. Trust me, the ones at the car shows are NOT restorations. They use the vintage cab, and a newer frame, newer engine, newer brakes, newer axles, etc. It's the only way you're going to get 60mph and any degree of safety and performance out of...

Couldn't say - I pulled the pics off the web.

Just remember, when you build it, you have to put a lot of military-type accessories to look right, like blackout lights, turn signals, heavy duty brackets everywhere, etc. Also, gotta remove any reference to "Mitsubushi" or "FUSO". Noone wants to see those words on a military looking vehicle...
