Truck started much easier today. We had a low of about 38 degrees overnight, I started it this afternoon while it was about 62 degrees out and it lit off on about the 4th rotation of the engine. Before, it would labor to start at this temp after sitting for a few days. It started as good as...

Got a notification from Facebook that I've had this truck 7 years now! I haven't driven it much in the past few years and it's getting old and cranky. It did great at the GA Military Vehicle get together last year after being hauled on a goose neck trailer. Over the past year, it has sat and...

Gimp, Great article link. In other news, my friend who makes the blended fuel also gave away the 7, 12 packs of Miller Lite that he had saved for you! I'm not sure if that would have re-couped your fuel costs but you know what to expect when you make it there next year to the Ga get together...

Short answer, yes it will. Now onto some background. I used to have an M35A2 and a friend of mine still does. I put anything petroleum based in the fuel tank of that truck for years with no worries. Drained oil from the car, lawnmower, friends waste oil, good to go! My friend built a very...

Curiously enough, I was looking at the back-up generator for the building that I work in today to see how the factory set-up looks on a Big Cam. The engine is a NTC-390 built in 1985 with only 3118 hours on it. It only feeds the rear head and the return comes out of there as well. I've never...

I've got a kit to do the dual fuel mod myself from your friend Simp. Haven't installed it yet but after he explained how to pull the doghouse, it's coming soon. The TMG Air cleaner mod is nice but I did the "free mod" of removing most of the sheetmetal covering about half of the air filter...

Simp, go through the thread posted about 4 years ago. She stuck it out with me during the early years staying in the tent until I think 2013. We had some friends down the hill shouting back and forth with the MKT crew every night and each morning, someone had a P/A speaker system announcing...

All I need to do now is quote some of the above posts and we can sell it to Hollywood for the upcoming movie. Grumpier Old Men, Retired Army Camping Edition! Once it sells, I'll take care of the Durhamtown fees and it will once again be a fee free rally. As for dogs, they don't bother me as...

Had a great time seeing everyone this year. Just got finished unloading all my junk out of the 5 ton. Welder1 and I made it into Leesburg about 11:30 this morning and last saw PC Trans and Floridianson at exit 99 rolling south. Thanks for convoying with us to two of my Florida friends...

On the road at 0730 Thursday. Should get there around lunchtime. PCTrans, you should have come a little further north and stayed for free and convoyed with us! We should get to exit 99 to get on I75 around 0830 at the latest. See ya'll tomorrow!

PB, looks awesome! I can't buy the jeep but I can pay a rental fee. No trailriding, just a few trips from the cabin to the main field. Let me know if that works please. If not, no worries. I just figured it'd be easier than driving the 5 ton.

Productive day today. Truck fueled up, 55 gallon drum of fuel loaded, picked up an A/C unit for a fellow member, enough firewood for a small village and a 6 foot ladder. Truck has performed wonderfully and is ready to go 180 miles each way. Tomorrow I have to get the last few provisions to...

In case I missed it, is anyone selling t-shirts this year? I've got one the past 7 years, it's a tradition. Thought about it when packing, they're all I wear at the rally.

A//C unit is loaded into my truck and I'll get it to you sometime Friday morning. I've got about 3 trees worth of firewood loaded onto my truck towards the rear that I got to take off first thing Thursday when I get there. Adapter cord and technical manual were included. You'll have some good...

It may have been a national guard truck. We removed ours years ago to stop the cracked transfer case problems. Did not matter which engine. In reverse, there is too much multiplication of torque for the transfer case to survive under a heavy foot in low range. The only trucks we didn't do...

PM sent, price is a 12 pack of Natural Light for the trip. Should be reasonable as it's universal currency.

If anyone would like to convoy up from SW GA, I'm departing Leesburg around 0730 on Thursday morning along with member Welder1. We're bringing a M35A2, M923A1 and most importantly for a long trip, tools and a towbar. We normally run 55 mph or the speed limit, whichever is lower and a good...

PB, I need to know the bottom dollar price on the M151A2. Please send me a message. The one I used to drive around base got destroyed in the January 22nd tornado that hit us hard. I need one that I can actually drive home and I've driven your's before. I know it's a little choke heavy but...

Took my first steps without crutches today and I'm making great progress. 1st metatarsal fractures normally take 6-8 weeks to get better from. Sunday will be 4 weeks since the mishap and I'm on it! X-Ray yesterday looked good and the doctor told me I'm "structurally sound" in the foot. A...

I'm finishing my checklist. I'm buying 2 tires from Swampdonkey and a grill unit from PCTrans. I asked earlier if anyone was bringing a set of good Hawker 6GATM Batteries and have had no response. I missed out last year, I committed to two and couldn't find the seller. Afterwards, the...
