    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    That is quite true, Sir. There is no true 12 step program, HOWEVER there WAS an XM-xxx Series 6-Step Program with a High/Low range Transfer Case, however no one ever mastered the fine art of SPLIT SHIFTING the sucker. Rumor has it that Wreckerman came close to mastery but somehow a SPRAG with...

    Valence's M66 Gun Ring

    Thank you, Valence! As you could probably tell, I'm just now getting my feet wet - so to speak - on this topic. The background story to my query is my recent acquisition of some mount parts (will determine true names as I research your links) and now must chose to keep them and build on these...

    Valence's M66 Gun Ring

    Just a logical secondary follow-up question to this Gun Ring thread.... ... not trying to turn this into a "gun discussion" so..... I'm just wondering if you get a gun ring to mount on your MV, how readily available are the 50 Cal Gun Mounts?? What kind of price would you expect to pay? And...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Nice call, Rocky, but that sounds an awful lot like THE THREE STOOGES. My mind flashed to the Andrews Sisters of WWII.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qafnJ6mRbgk

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Today, while enjoying a BEAUTIFUL west Texas "winter" day with temps in the low/mid 80F range, Dianna and I loaded up the lawnmower, tree pruning tools and "stuff" and drove a whopping 0.3 miles to her mothers new-to-her house. The trees in thee front yard weren't kept trimmed and were more...

    Receiver Hitch

    I like your use of the existing Pintle to engage the dangling Lunette. Do you have any photos of the attachment points where the diagonal braces attach to the frame?? My guess is that they are Pinned attachment points to make the whole assembly detachable and therefore stowable. Thanks. John

    Numbers on grille

    Our Deuce is a 1968 and came to us without a Bridge Plate. I have since acquired one, but have not yet "mounted" it... on the grill or otherwise. Our 1969 vintage XM818 came from the Midland (Texas) County Sheriff's Office. When she was posted for auction the Bridge Plate was painted over...

    One wiper does not stop

    It seems that every time compressed air powered wipers comes up I have a flashback to the time one of the end-caps BLEW OFF and started ricocheting around the cab of our Deuce shortly after we got it. But that bad memory is usually subdued when I think of this clip about WIPERS...
