I’m curious about the going price for one of these in the ‘States. Standard 4x4 Defenders don’t come cheap so what do they want for one of the 6x6 beasts?

6x6 Defenders are super cool. Pick one up for me!

Were you able to find the TMs for it? Do you have the RT(s) for the 110? Just curious what you’re using or if the Tri brand replica actually works with the Harris VAA.

As stated above, steering wheel security cable. Looks like the type for a HMMWV.

Your slobber tube smokes just a little more than mine. Not sure if they’re within normal range, but every deuce I’ve seen smokes some from there. Clamping a 2 Ft or so rubber extension tube on there allows it to slobber out below the engine and axle. It’ll save you a lot of cleanup in your...

I’ve only seen piecemeal parts cross reference sheets, nothing comprehensive. I’ve been building my own list whenever the opportunity presents. It’s been awhile since I rebuilt the rear brakes on my M38 but I think the rear was stock. My front brakes aren’t. Here’s what I had in my notes for...

Looks like a LDT-456 engine for a M44 series truck. Deuce engine.

Valve adjustment is my conclusion as well. Hopefully that’s all it is. I appreciate the input.

Just got around to servicing a MEP-531 I picked up a little while ago; changed fluids and filters and fired it up. As usual it took some fuel bleeding and a bit of cranking to get it to run. Once it fired I starting getting quite a bit of popping and some “backfires” thru the exhaust. Any...

Very cool video. I saw at least one A2 in there. I like seeing M35s still working, but not working too hard. Those onion trucks should last for a long time.

In both my Ram and my deuce I carry an expanding load bar. It expands to reach each bed-side then cams into place. It’s the kind that expands in two places so it fits both wide beds and pickup beds. Although it’s not a tie-down, it keeps things from sliding around and it’s very secure. Great for...

Nice truck! I enjoy your posts, I miss living on the last frontier.

I had a similar problem with my deuce when I changed everything to LED. A modern turn signal control unit fixed it. I used this one: http://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/tusiflcoun11.html I don't recall if a HMMWV uses the same part, but a quick part number check should answer that.

Where do I start...

The gent that bought my S788 shelter brought along some large plastic corner slider things. I don't know what they're called, they were like furniture sliders only bigger. With those and a come-along, moving an S788 from the bed of a deuce to a 5-ton was easy. Zoom in on the lower corner of the...

Neither is a MRAP or APC. FAR more people die each year in the US from motor vehicles than machines guns, grenade launchers, or armored vehicles.

Psst, you are the public. Get rid of your military grade truck. We need a thumbs down button...

You're talking about a government operation here and you're looking for consistency and logic? It makes sense if you don't think about it.

Definitely call the site. You'll often be able to talk with the employee that'll actually be there for your load-out. Sometimes they will go the extra mile to help you load your items. I've had far more positive than negative interactions with GL & GP employees. The one goober that didn't want...

It had a reputation of not being built tough enough. It was a commercial truck adapted for use as a tactical vehicle. It was not designed from the ground up as a tactical vehicle, and since it was used as one it didn't weather the abuse well at all. The drivetrain had numerous faults as well. It...
