To be safe, I'd say no later than about 9:45am. You will need to check in at the registration tent and let us shoot a picture of your insurance card and then get in the line for the convoy. I think we begin lining up at 10:30.

Got it. I'll be at the registration tent the whole event, so come find me. I'll have your gallon marked with your username. Thanks

I could go on and on about how awesome the F-14 was and why they should have gone with the Grumman Super Tomcat or Tomcat21 concepts. I understand the maintenance times and costs and the airframe age issues, but that could have been avoided had the SECDEF not screwed Grumman (wonder how much...

[/COLOR] No, I don't like doing "build" threads until I'm actually done. If you look at the majority of build threads on automotive forums, they're unfinished and everyone loses attention before they're done. I'll do one once I paint the '87 next year, because it's 90% done (front winch, rear...

Looking at those pictures, my $.02: A. I don't think that's CARC. It looks like the original lead enamel olive drab with a newer coat of the MERDC camo, which was pre-CARC. I do not know what the formulation of the MERDC era paint was, but I doubt it's CARC. B. Kind of doesn't matter. You...

Alright everyone, we're a month out now. The rally officially begins on the 18th of October so a month from now, many of you will be on the road, headings towards Durhamtown Plantation. I want to take this opportunity to issue a few pieces of advice, reminders, etc.: A. Make sure your vehicle...

For sale (continued): NOS USGI throttle cable. Don't know what this fits, but not M35A2 rofl It's about 32" long from the mounting face on the dash to the end of the cable. $20 EDIT (9.15.2017, 9:53pm)-This item is spoken for, if the buyer backs out, I'll update. Boarding ladder...

Ok, I need to update my original post. I have some more stuff I need to sell and a couple things I need to buy. For sale: NOS USGI drivers side doors for all "Reo" style cab 6x6's. This is M35, M35A2, M35A3, M809, M39 (M54, etc.) and M939. These are brand new, stored indoors, complete doors...

re: maintenance There are so many things that most people don't think about. That truck will never be the same. Gauges filled up with water, PCB filled up with water, blah, blah. It isn't just gearboxes to worry about re: running over stuff Ha, I always think the same thing. re: snake...

Regardless of fluid, I'd flush it every 4 or 5 years. If you go underwater, more frequently. BFS won't absorb moisture but that doesn't mean it won't get in the system. The moisture will end up in the low spots (I think) versus just being throughout the system. One way or another you need to...

So I think most everyone who deals with the 24V L and F head engines knows the reputation of the repro coils (easily identified due to their chrome exterior plating) to be just awful. I have a customer with a dead coil in an M38A1. I hate to sell him one of these awful chrome coils only to...

We have a very big announcement today: For 2017, Memphis Equipment has agreed to sponsor our event. We're very happy to be working with Memphis again; they were one of our primary sponsors in 2016.Memphis Equipment has been in business since 1946 and they are one of the largest, if not the...

I love stuff like that. Clever repurpose of an engine stand.

Very nice! I love 'em with fresh paint. Come join us next month, we're not too far away: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?169699-Official-2017-Ga-Military-Vehicle-Rally-info-thread-Oct-18-22-2017

6 cubic yards is what I remember from the last time I did this. I had troop seats. In dirt, you'll run out of room before you run out of weight capacity.

I need a good, complete deuce front end suspension kit. A friend of mine has a bobber with homemade rear suspension and it's the deadliest thing I've ever seen. So I'm going to help him do it right. We need the front springs, hangars, axle hardware and shock mounts. Will have cash at rally...

What did you do to get the axle shaft out of the trailing arm? I assume a shop press? Looks like the axle shaft is pressed into a sealed bearing.

What do you think will happen after he drives yours and gets in another one? "Holy smoke, this steering is messed up!"
