I would like to say thank you to all of the donors who have pitched in this year. I really thought we would exceed the donations from last year, but it just hasn't worked out that way. I am going to close the fund drive down at the end of the year, so now is your last chance to donate...
Welcome to SS! It's great to have another HMMWV owner here. I'm hoping to make it to Haspin this year in my M998. Maybe we'll have two or three there! Keep the pics coming.
Update time! I've gotten a lot done in the last few months. I found an ex-Army HMMWV mechanic at a local repair shop who was willing and able to get some chassis work completed for me. He installed all new upper and lower ball joints, replaced all of the hub seals, installed my new parking brake...
You're welcome. Thanks also need to go out to everyone who has signed up for premium membership over the last year because a lot of that money went to pay for this upgrade and some more cool things to come.
I appreciate the constructive feedback that some of you are offering, but just saying that the upgrade is a downgrade or that the new colors suck is not constructive. In fact, it's really starting to piss me off. You guys sound like a bunch of ungrateful, petulant children. Again, we have poured...
It's good to see the site back up again. Thanks for all of your hard work, Drew! I would also like to thank Shane at Pinion Media who set up the software and developed the new design and layout. Now, I understand change is hard for a lot of you guys, but trust me, you will grow to like the...
Tapatalk will still work fine with the new site.
Ron, members will know when the site is being worked on because it will be taken down and they won't be able to access it.
Follow us on twitter @steelsoldiers for updates and info during the outage. Thanks.
Thanks for the understanding and the well wishes. We'll get started sometime tomorrow morning or maybe closer to noon. It will be a lengthy process and may spill over to Monday depending on what kind of issues we run into. It will be a great upgrade and we are very excited to unveil it all!
She's a beaut, Ted! I'm still a big fan of the 2-man config. I'd love to get one of those avenger tops from SD and run it with some hard doors in the winter months. It would certainly help with the drafts!
Interesting commentary guys.
I don't normally have a problem with the rear end kicking out sideways when it is intentional (i.e. controlled skid) or drifting in a corner. Where I do have a problem with it is when I lose traction and have to stop on a steep, narrow hill with a 20' drop down...
We ended up with about 7-8" of the heavy, wet snow from Sandy. Our road was a sloppy mess with tree limbs down everywhere and more branches and tree tops breaking off every few minutes. As you can see, a pretty good sized limb fell across my M1101 trailer. Thankfully, the trailer is fine outside...
