C'mon slackers, that 819 has to be done before RC! Where's the updates? ;)

Shelters weigh about 700-1000 pounds depending on what's in them. They won't load down the goat too much. The proper one for the goat is NOT the S-250 shelter, which is a little too wide, you need a S-189 shelter which is the same inside, floor-wise, but the walls are a little more narrow...

Got back yesterday around 5 or so, had a great time with some great people. I even had time Saturday morning to wrench off the old bent and broken bumper on my deuce and bolt on the new one I got from Bernie in DE. I didn't take any pictures, I was too busy wheeling and having fun in the...

If you end up getting an M35A3, take that crap off. The CTIS never seemed to work correctly even when maintained by GIs who are tasked with nothing but vehicle maintenance. Come to think of it, if you buy ANY military vehicle with CTIS, take it off. It's a wet dream of a design that looks...

I should be out of here within a couple hours, arriving at the site by noon. I have been using the rear end of my truck as a shed recently, so it has a lot of stuff still packed away in it from Aberdeen and Haspin. I am not feeling up to the task of unloading all the stuff that I was trying to...

AWESOME! Looks kicka$$ to me!

Sorry to hear that, Jeff. We'll miss you there. Plan on heading out of the house early a.m. on Friday morning, will get there late morning. Plan on bringing plenty of adult beverages and smokes. Also, if I am supposed to bring anything for anybody (parts, etc.), please PM me to remind me, my...

From what I gather, the military never bought that many of them to begin with (at least, not as many as the deuces!), and they are very useful, so not many have been sold off as of yet. They are out there, but you will spend a lot of $$ for one. There is one currently listed for sale on...

Awesome, thanks for the info, Bob! KI4JSC

I would like to take my PRC-47 radio set to the VA rally to operate it in the field this coming weekend. I do not have the proper power source for it, it uses either 24 volt DC (like a 24VDC jumper genset would provide), or 115 VAC 400 Hz. I was wondering if I could get input from someone who...

Okay, it's official. I'm going! My back is almost back to normal, so I'm rarin' to go, get some trail time and camp time in. Looks like some awesome weather planned for this weekend as well. Looking forward to meeting all of you!

Looking forward to this show! It's a great little secret, smaller than Aberdeen, but in many respects it's a better show.

He's having too much fun with the trailer. Epic fail. :) I have had a similar idea to that since a car show years back when I saw a pickup truck with a pool in the bed. I keep going back to the pet-dream of taking a trailer and putting a hot tub on it. Works better if you have 18-25 year...

I had two of the laundry trailers in the past year. They are big and heavy, and even heavier with the laundry gear on it. I wouldn't recommend towing one with a deuce for very long. They are really meant for 5-tons.

These are awesome saves, that Steel Soldiers made recently. These bomb trucks are rare as hen's teeth now, they have mostly rotted away the past 60 years. The fact that there are restorable examples this long after the war is nothing short of amazing.

These MVs are addictive - I'm thinking of getting an M37 sometime early next year myself, if I can keep this job thing limping along till then.

Love to see pictures of your trip when you get back! Thanks for the update, let us all know if you need help.

Awesome save, Karl! Those Jimmys are getting hard to find in nice shape.

Hope I can go, my back is all screwed up - but if I am going, I can't wait. It's a great place, and the Graves family really have a cool operation. My truck is all ready to go! Just hope I will be. :(

Stopped by Zuckerman's Metals in Winchester VA today to follow up on a rumor of some S-250 shelters that were "stacked like cordwood" at the place. No dice, but there were two S-280 shelters in very nice shape there by the entrance. Asked politely how much, they said they are not for sale...
