Looks like a great event. Wish I was closer to the neighborhood so I could attend. Best wishes for a successful dedication.

Hello Team, Military Vehicles are welcome at this event with front row parking and free admission to drivers. Please let me know if you are interested in attending so that we can make preparation for MV parking. Please contact the Museum if you are interested in participating with a table. P...

Hello Team, time to start gearing up for the Auburn Vets Parade. This year, Friends of Kilroy, would like to emphasize the 25 Year anniversary of Desert Storm. Please bring out your tan vehicles. Uniform of the day would be Desert Chocolate Chips or Desert Camo (DCU). Or wear what you need...

Mission accomplished. Weather turned out decent at the parade site. Ended up with 3 - WW2 jeeps and two M923's. My 923 suffered light switch failure but made it home before dark. switch changed and back on the road again.

Shouldn't this be in the Humvee section? But go to your local trophy shop. They will have something that sticks plates to things.

Got the lights working again. I had two NOS switches sitting on the shelf. Took switch number one, a nice CARC green color. Plugged it in and nothing except the light behind the shifter was lit up. So was thinking what else have I done to this truck. Got to the Troubleshooting in the...

The switch was dated 2005 and the truck went through rebuild in 2006, so am hoping the vibration and heat were it. there is a lot of wire in there for a very small area. I had been smelling an electrical smell every once in awhile for some time and couldn't see anything going on. An uncle...

That explains the rust issues. That salt air down there is killer.

3 Way light switch woes. Pulled the 3 way light switch. Obviously a short, but why? we went on a mission today to a parade in Quilcene. 190 round trip from my house. On the way back, the 1SG asks why my lights aren't on. I couldn't get the switch levers to move, so we kept on heading for...

Rooster, looks like you took a picture of my battery, but mine took out the alternator too. The good thing is that I probably won't make that same mistake again soon.

Nice looking ton and a half. Looks to be an older restoration and a bundle of WW2 camo in the seat as well. Lots of work, but still interesting.

Can't ever have enough resource material! What a deal.

Even though it may be rough, it is still nice to see one that has not been sporterized and turned red, yellow, or green. Good luck with the restoration.

Replaced the shoe string type material on the Jumper port cap, with 6" of tan para cord. Used a couple of electrical connectors, ground the plastic off of them, spread them, put in the cord and crimped them with the electrical crimpers. It made for a nice clean up of something that has been an...

We will meet at Taylor Station on Hwy 101 at 0700 for breakfast. Then meet the others in the group at 0800 at the park n ride at the first Shelton exit. If the weather does not cooperate a couple vehicles may drop out due to no top. But we will still go. we are becoming a staple of that...

Nice looking job on the engine. You aren't one of those, I am going to hone the cylinder and put a kit in people are you? Had a lengthy discussion this week with a guy working on an M38 for another person and he is a honer. You can buy new cylinders, probably on here or the E*** for a...

Hello Team, Sorry for the late notice on this. Was asked at the Hawks Prairie event on Saturday. They are looking for a few military vehicles to add some color to their event. Food will be provided. I told them that we work for food. I can't make it, Quillcene parade that day, but look at...

Mission went well. Three vehicles in attendance. 1943 GPW, 1973 M151A2, and 1984 M923. Only casualty of the day was the 1967 M715, which flipped off the positive battery terminal, shorting to the battery box and frying the alternator. The Army was a no show due to budget cutbacks so they...

What a shop. Is this your start of a ground up restoration?

NDT, disconnected alternator. Reconnected batteries, truck fired right up, so was able to get it back in its slot. Will pull the alternator in a couple days and see if it can be tuned up. thank you for the tip.
