Not in a deuce. Several cars (when I was 16, a front bearing failed on a car I had just bought, taking out the spindle and a week later, one of the rears did the same thing) but no deuces. A bad bearing is definitely noisy, I am just surprised you can hear it in a deuce.
When I read the...
I am impressed you can hear bearing roar in a deuce.
I mean, I can hear noisy transmissions and transfers, but I think I'd have to get it up to speed and kill the engine to hear a bad bearing.
What!! There are HMMWVs for sale?
I had no idea. I haven't seen any posts on Steel Soldiers, Facebook, Fox news, CNN, Good Morning America-nowhere have I seen this mentioned!

Builder77 was hilarious.
One time he bought an enormous truck load of fiberglass M105 racks. By the time he had sold about half of them, he was practically giving them away. At Aberdeen he told me he couldn't sleep because he kept having nightmares about 105 racks.

I have some good footage but I need to edit it. My editor doesn't work with QuickTime and the footage was shot with QT. I either need a free editor that can work with QT or a free converter that can convert QT over to something like mp4, flash, wmv, etc.
Anyone have any suggestions?
This thread has links to more threads about them. There are 100, 200 and 400 amp units ( I think).

I'd like an answer on this as well. I have 2 trucks, but only one dual voltage output alternator. If you could charge a stand-along 12V battery with a cheap converter, that would be ideal.
I thought anything that charged a battery had to have a variable output-like a voltage regulator.
Just WWII Jeeps were a hair less than 648,000. 1940-ish to 1945.
M38 is 45,473.
M38A1 is 101,488 (some for export to other countries)
Not sure how many 151's were built.
According to AMG, about 281,000 HMMWVs have been built.
Alright, I love the Ga Rally Railroad.................... but you have to restore it! Not modify it.
Here's your first picture for the rr forum
Also, Ga Rally Railroad will require a caboose. I am old enough to remember cabooses and I am super sad just seeing a FRED at the end of a train.
Headlights can be found cheap on eBay and at swap meets. We bought about a dozen at the 2012 MVPA National Convention in Huntsville for $12 a piece. Brand new in the box.
All the smaller bulbs like tail lights and turn signals can be had at your local NAPA pretty cheap.
The deuce is great for this sort of thing, but as somebody who has driven mules and jeeps up ramps to get into a deuce, my recommendation would be a used deckover equipment trailer from craigslist and a civvy hitch on your deuce.
The angle going in and out of the bed will be severe. It's a lot...
