    Hideous M1088! Obviously a John Deer fan

    Welcome to the club. Keep an eye on the classifieds and other sources, plenty of MV's that come and go.

    Finally got me a deuce!

    Let it run with the radiator cap off and watch the neck. Start it and as it heats up, should see air bubbles come out. Once the bubbles are practically gone and it's a steady flow that is wanting to come out, you got the air out. Typically when full, the coolant should be in the neck of the...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    From a kids perspective, seeing the inside of the cab and the controls, sitting at the wheel of a military truck is the bee's knees!

    Daryl’s Deuce Resto

    I've seen lots of colors and ideas on different restorations, but that yellow on the clevises and winch chain is different and just pops, looks really good!

    Memorial day parade in Walker. Tons of fun and the best part, we had people cheering and clapping and tons of kids were loving that air horn! See this is why you know you want to vote for Crispy for the MV of the month, it's all about them smiles per gallon baby!

    Superthermal's M813 Build, THE BOT

    Man, that's a good score! I don't think we can have too many spare parts for our MV's, but I'm sure many spouses would have a different opinion 😆. Those snatch blocks are good addition as well since it's difficult to find good MV blocks for our trucks, especially at a decent price point.

    Bought Someone’s M1078 Camper Project- Seeking Direction on a Couple Issues

    For sure I would map out a route and post it on here. At least this way any members who are close or along that route can chime in and offer help if needed, in case something fails and it's not easily fixable.

    Daryl’s Deuce Resto

    It's some nasty stuff, very strong caustic type chemical. Stripp d the powder coat off my knives in ten minutes or less. Just make sure to wear the proper PPE when using that stuff.

    Daryl’s Deuce Resto

    Could try out Jasco, I've used it to strip the black coating off of some knives and that's not easy stuff to remove, it made the job easy, but usually it will strip all the paint down to the bare metal.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2023 - May VOTE HERE!

    Memorial day is right around the corner, so I was just getting the fit for the flag on the truck so it'll be a fast set up for the parade. This will make the 2nd year in a row Crispy got to participate in the Walker Memorial Parade, hence, the one year anniversary since catching on fire and...

    Best chemical/product to clean soft cover?

    I've used that outdoor bleach before to clean vinyl siding and it worked well, especially the siding closest to the ground that likes to get growth on it, the bleach really helps to mitigate that growth much better than soap or degreaser alone.

    So how much can an M998 HMMWV pull in a pinch?

    Those kinetic ropes are great, just need to make sure it's secured well, otherwise that's a giant rubber band snapping back.

    New to me Deuce with matching trailer - wrenching post

    I'll say I haven't had issues with stickiness or difficulty shifting when it was cold out, but I imagine in warmer temps, the non detergent SAE 40 would work too. It may not sound as ideal as some other fluids, but it is what Spicer spec'ed for their tranny and such and it is bronze safe. Only...

    Spoon’s build thread

    Actually Harbor Freight has that little transfer pump for around $50-60 that has the alligator clips. It says it's not for fuel or oil, but I've been using mine for that and it's worked better than the fuel designated pumps from Amazon.

    Did that truck even move?
