Hard to say. You never know what's going to be for sale in the swap meet.
I will say that even in years when I was broke and wasn't looking for anything, I managed to spend money.
There is a thread up where people can post what they're looking for and what they have for sale...
Shirts!
So, for the last few years, Dave did the graphic design work on the shirts and I really liked it. I think my favorite was the year the shirt had all the data plates on the back and each data plate had info about the event.
But for the past couple of years, Dave was too busy to do the...
This is my understanding.
I do not have a design of the field layout yet. Durhamtown's main rally field was a result of several years trial and error and once we found a groove we liked (aisles, lots of room in between them for big trucks, etc.), it started happening organically.
I would...
Also, I can't get there any sooner than Thursday afternoon. It's just life, work, etc.
So you may get there before we do. Please be patient with the Windrock staff.
This is everyone's first year: Let's be frank: no one knows where anything is going to go. Could be bumpy, confusing, etc...
Folks, it's been brought to my attention that some folks have expressed concerns about the cost of attending the event, to the point where apparently more than one person thinks it costs a thousand bucks a day to attend.
I need to address this.
It costs the rally (Mac and me) $1,000 per day to...
Folks, I have a takeout M44 / G742 (M35, Deuce, etc.) T136-21 sprag transfer case. Worked fine, but I only engaged the front axle once. But the one time, it did work fine. No weird noises, doesn't pop out of gear, etc. Only swapped it because client wanted an air shift unit.
Does anyone...
A big announcement today:
Memphis Equipment has agreed to sponsor our event for 2022
Memphis' long term support of this event has been nothing short of amazing.
I hope all of you will throw them some business - without their help, we couldn't do this.

Ok guys, sorry this took so long. I am trying to get everything done I need to get done and I haven't even driven my truck in a month, let alone serviced it.
:ROFLMAO: but :mad:
Ok, so here's the basics:
There is a dedicated area we're taking for the event. Big flat field with nice gravel...
Sizes will likely be small, medium, large, XL, XXL and XXXL.
I'll have some cost #s next week, but I'd assume it'll be close to prior years ($20 / shirt, $22.50 for XXL and XXXL).
Here it is: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/the-official-2022-southeast-military-vehicle-rally-buy-sell-trade-thread.210618/
Holy moly, I can't believe I forgot this. I guess I was so "tunnel vision" over the new facility that it just slipped my mind.
The amount of time having to make...
Hey everybody
In a stunning display of competency, I managed to get the official rally thread up and never bothered to create the buy-sell-trade thread.
So here we are.
The idea here is basic: post what you're looking for and what you have for sale and make some sales before you ever get to...
Are you asking "If I don't prep the truck and use a Rustoleum primer, will the paint stick (i.e. can I get away without prep)?"?
If so, no clue but I wouldn't try it.
We've all seen the god awful paint jobs the military does, paint peeling off in giant sheets, rust coming through, etc.
No...
So much so that I do it to pretty well all of my personal stuff and my client's stuff (assuming it's not a 100 point trailer queen that's being judged for correctness). I am not even sure how many I've done at this point, but it has to be 40+ and I've not had a single issue or failure.
It's...
Nothing, unfortunately. With the end of the surplussing of M35's, that took me out of the sales thing.
I have a client's truck here that's pretty basic (non winch, standard bed, sprag, etc.) that has a melted piston. He'd probably sell it as is, I don't think we're going to put an engine in it.
I'm gonna' save this one so if I need to add anything, I have a space
Folks, this is gonna' be the bomb. Look at those pics: this is a better D-town.
I also need ya'll to understand: This will be the most expensive rally we've ever put on and Mac and I are gonna' lose a lot if we don't pull...
