    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Got two like new tires installed on the rear. For the front, I still have to take two tires off the humvee rims (once we get a day with no rain) so I can mount them on a set of rims I picked up off craigslist. All the rims, that came on the truck when I got it, were bent and noticable in the...

    Oh. That makes sense. No date though?

    Data Plate Inspection Date Block Has This Symbol

    What could this mean? Is it on a M105A2 with date of manufacture of Mar '84.

    Military "Cattle-Cars"

    We did the same at Lost In The Woods in August '84. Humped in A.M. and squeezed into these for a ride back to the barracks in P.M. It was just lovely all up against your smelly, sweaty comrades.

    That is efficient work!

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    The dirt was pretty dense. After I started loading all it could hold the tires were squatting. The singles are nice but a set of good duals, I would think, would take the weight better. I had to use low range after I started loading heavy. Toby, that 817 sure looked nice.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Widened my driveway into my future homesite. Hauled approximately 30 loads of dirt to a place to spread in the field. Started with light loads as the pic shows, but later started putting all I could on. When doing larger projects, this truck seems tiny. I need a 20 ton!

    Pickup Needed at Groveport (Spiegel Rd Location) on or before 4/25

    Uh. Groveport and efficiency do not go in the same sentence! I was talking to an 18 wheeler driver last week that mixed up his days to be there and they told him the day before that they "may" fit him in. He was at Lockbourne picking up two pallets, hoping for the call from Groveport at least...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2016 - April VOTE HERE

    Well, my CUCV isn't the prettiest thing. It has rust along the bottom of the body and still needs one fenderwell (inner fender) changed out soon. However, it is a workhorse. It is my only pickup and I use it regularly. It makes trips to Columbus, Ohio from near the West Virginia border, and gets...

    Picked up another "toy" that I won two weeks back. Time for a "toy" sale, as my field is shrinking.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I was just having this conversation yesterday inroute to Columbus. I had it on my last truck ('86civy Chevy) and I miss it bad. It had a gasser 350 and lower gearing than the 4:56 so I had to set it at 45 mph. It never saw interstate either.

    Wow! And I thought I put miles on mine yesterday with only about 200.

    Pickup Needed at Groveport (Spiegel Rd Location) on or before 4/25

    I will be there Monday but I live in eastern Ohio in the easternmost county, yet very few miles from I-70. Edit: Shoot. Nevermind. I will be at Lockbourne at 11:30 and still have to go to GP yard in northern Columbus before 2:00.

    At least a heartbeat! Picking up my M1101 and M1102 from my mother's place as it was too late to do last night.

    Goodyear Wrangler MT tire tread direction

    I, myself, do not see how it could matter on a trailer. On my CUCV, I have them all facing the same to clean better in mud. Every trailer I got that has them tires, have them with one each direction as you have stated.

    I'm sure not big money! I just like cheap and easy. Was you referring to MVs?

    Worked it again. Recovered a M105A2.
