    Adding 2” receiver hitch to HMMWV and hit a snag

    The castellated nut is 1” tall. I thought about cutting 1/2” off, but I wasn’t comfortable with that option. Seems like it wouldn’t leave much of the nut.

    The official 2023 Southeast Military Vehicle Rally information thread (the event formerly known as the Georgia Rally).

    Unfortunately I can’t attend the rally this year. I just cancelled my reservation for Cabin 818. I had it reserved for October 5-8. So it should be up for grabs if someone were to call soon. I will live vicariously through those that attend and am looking forward to stories and pictures!

    Wheel cylinders in M35's

    I know that @texas30cal has rebuilt them without issue. They are relatively inexpensive, so I usually just buy new ones.

    Deuce Master Cylinder

    I just put a new master cylinder in my Deuce last weekend. There is no need to bleed the master cylinder. The bleeding procedure starts at the air pack. Throw away the rubber cap and use a vented cap.
