I've been thinking of what I can do with my 5 ton and something that popped into my head is to put an S250 shelter in the back for a small camper or something like that. I considered an S280 size shelter, but I still want some cargo space. I may go that route in the future but I think I might...
gavan, that is one ugly Jeep... i love it!:mrgreen: The 1008's look great with the 101 bed them too, but I never thought about a Jeep with that bed. Nice work. Be sure to post pics when you get 'er all painted. What little I've read about the CJ-10 tugs make them sound like odd beasts with some...
Thanks 800, that helps. At leasts I know there probably won't be an inspection required. The 813 will actually be staying in MI for awhile (I just havent picked it up from OH and moved it to MI yet), but I want to register in AK because I'll be here for awhile longer and I figure I'll probably...
I did a search on AK registration of MVs and this was the most relevant, so I thought I'd resurrect it to see how it went for flyusn99.
My situation is that I am currently living in AK and want to register my 5 ton that is physically in OH. Are there any inspections required by the state? Now...
I've been looking for various things for my M813, and the final destination for my parts is near Ann Arbor, MI, but I'm not familiar with Rodney's. Is there a website?
Welcome! I'm also a bit of new guy to SS here in AK.
I was looking at some of the tugs that were coming out of the Fairbanks DRMO awhile back, but I just couldnt justify me buying one. I'm curious, what are you guys using them for. I'd love to have one just because they're somewhat unique, but...
If you go with the current issue antennas you'd commonly find on a deuce such as an AS-3900 or AS-3916 your results with a CB will probably not be satisfactory. Those two antennas are VHF 30-88 MHz, and I seem to recall that they are more efficient at the upper end of it's designed range. I'm...
That explains why they look identical. However, on my MTOE I have 3/4 ton trailers paired up with heavy varient HMMWVs (M1097A2) as well as 1 1/4 ton trailers paired up with heavy HMMWVs so the intent isnt obvious.
Just by chance I did my cyclic inventory today which happened to include my 1101s and 1102s. I took some pics of the internal dimensions. I also looked to see the differences between 1101s and 1102s. I've known the differences in payload capacity for a long time, but I never realized that...
Thanks to all that offered support. I sent a few PMs in response.
If anyone has any other advice to offer, I'm all ears. Any mechanical tips, first upgrades to consider, super single rims and tire sources, tarp and bow sources, oil and fuel filter part numbers and sources, etc.
I've...
I saw center seats installed once. I believe they were in a M923 at Graf. I was there for a pre-deployment convoy live-fire, but it didnt belong to my unit. I can't recall the unit the owned it, but I know those seats were installed for the reason stated above, to allow troops to fire out for...
All found/ confiscated armaments are supposed to be returned to the Iraqi government for disposition. Even all the old obsolete stuff. Soldiers are no longer allowed to claim trophies or **** near anything with a military value. The only way I can imagine you'd have a chance in **** of...
Here’s the deal, I just won a GL auction for my first MV; a M813 from Wright Patterson. Problem is I am still stationed in Alaska and I need to get the truck to a family member in MI. I'll be keeping it there for awhile.
My initial plan was to do the recovery in December when I’m home on leave...
I live in a no-code area in AK. Basically you can build whatever you want. I could stack two trailers on top of each other and live in it, or just open my front door and chuck all my houshold trash out on the front lawn, or build a plywood and pallet shanty covered in plastic and live in it...
I bought one not long ago. In AK trailers have to be registered, but I took the chance. With a bill of sale dated the same day, chances are you'll be fine. Personally I wouldn't tow it after the initial recovery unless it's tagged, but that's just me.
I changed bulbs on site at the GL lot, I...
