I have heard the same about our southern neighbors and their distaste for military vehicles. I have a lifelong dream to drive to Dead Horse and back but it seems as my past history of bad choices and consequences the Canuks will not allow me to cross the border. But yet we allow God knows who...

Dropped in a new dizzy and fired right up. Will do a little investigating on why the one quit. Good day today. All the run flats out and wheels painted. Will try to get them mounted tomorrow. Started on the 60 today. Pretty nasty from hub to hub but I think everything will cleanup nicely.

Yes, I think Texas is not as particular as other states. I met a police officer in Colorado on our trip and he said Colorado will not register retired MV. Sad!!

Great, thanks so much. My son and I are planning on going out soon and taking a closer look at it. Is $2500 a fair price for a non titled, don't know if it runs, drives and stops M109?

I absolutely do not need another project buttttt. I'm assuming she ran before being blead out and sold and have no idea when that was. No title but will have a bill of sale. I don't think Texas is too hard to get her registered but I have not done one so not for sure. Worst case I could...

Well the ol girl let me down the other day and had to tow her home. On the way to the store she died and just spins over when I hit the starter. Has a 1 year old hei distributor. 12 volts to coil pack. Changed the coil but didn't solve the issue. Going to swap distributor for a new one and...

Went shopping today and I think I found out that part of the stuff I bought with the big DANA and thinking was rear disk conversion was actually the dual hubs for the front need. I have to tear the front down and see. A blessing if it is. I think these are 5 ton tyranny in crates 1 out of crate...

always need something new. I'm in.

Happy new year to everyone. Hauled a couple dinosaurs, chopped up some vehicles and got front axle home and on the stand for rebuild to put under the RV.

Good day today. Breakfast with 2 of my daughters and RV back on the road. If tach is right 3100 rpms at 65 mph. Truck a lot less noisy and engine not all bound up trying to go faster than truck was made to go. Merry Christmas to all of my new MV family.

Late start tonight but made some headway. Bearing, tyranny, case and new shaft in and working. Checked rear axle alignment to frame and good to go. Hopefully get perches welded, brakes done and sheetmetal back on and driveable tomorrow. Then round 2 with the front axle.

When I was younger for sure. This getting old phenomena sux and I'm sure not going through it gracefully.

More death defying tricks this evening. And tomorrow the quest to procure a throwout bearing that still has all the rollie things in it. Picked up rear brake line yesterday too.

I have not broken one down yet but they are heavy as hell so assuming they still have the run flat in them.

Question, I am pulling out the run flats in the HMMWV wheels. I don't think we will be doing much rock crawling and requiring airing down:ROFLMAO:. Do any of you see the need to buy and install the PVC inserts? This is my first dealings with these wheels and tires.

https://www.actmeters.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/612-Box02-HI.jpg this looks to be what you are needing, or something similar. not sure how many amp hours your batteries are supposed to be good for so may not be big enough. There seems to be a science with batteries especially in the solar...

Good day today. Got cucv stripped and tyranny, case and front axle off. Gonna try for axle measurements tomorrow.

Big DANA is sitting inplace and she is standing in her new slippers. XMLs look bigger and fatter but when the front gets the Wranglers no one will know any different. She sits a little on her @$$ since I added bumper, tire rack and fuel tank so I added an inch block to level her back out...

Ya wouldn't want a 200' crater in back. Neighbors may get a little POD But might make a nice pool for the new guy on the block hehehehe

I had some helpers today a day we broke out the shell. I found these ID stamps on the base. Pretty cool info.
