We appreciate everyone's patience about this matter which concerns all of us. There has been a comprehensive, behind the scenes action to find out what the true basis of this stoppage is: Is it truly EPA Clean Air Act issues or is that the cover story for something else (safety guildelines...

When is the last time the filters were changed, are you draining the water out of them and is the in-tank electric pump working?

I just went through this on my personal truck. So there are more or less, 5 places the system can be compromised. The FDC, which isn't an issue in your truck. The booster pump seal. The throttle shaft o-ring in the IP Theoretically, the piston in the hydraulic head can be worn enough to leak...

Squirt-truck told us you wanted the position, we've been offroad with you and we know you're competent and safe, so congratulations on the promotion. We'll have a small ceremony at the HQ tent where we smear some mud on your shirt and a marching band will play. :p

I planned on doing this earlier and this week has just been an absolute zoo for me. I apologize for this taking so long. The buy/sell/swap trade is up and can be seen here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?127438-Official-2014-SS-Ga-Rally-buy-sell-trade-thread I have updated post...

I will be arriving on Wednesday and leaving Sunday. I am looking for the following items: M35A3 shoulder belt seat belt system for driver and passenger seats Overdrive unit for GPW/MB (18 series transfer) Bolt for M44 series winch rope termination (this is the bolt that secures the chain to...

Hey everybody, This thread is the official buy/sell/trade thread for the 14SSGR. If you're looking for the info thread, it can be found here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?126876-Official-2014-SS-Georgia-Rally-Info-SSGR14-thread Try to keep chit-chat to a minimum here. The...

Ha! I strongly considered it when I saw it. The cost of transport, logistical difficulties and who knows what was missing and the corrosion scared me off. Although I realize no 70+ year old amphibious truck is going to be rust free, I felt like this one was past where I wanted to begin. The...

That's neat how you kept the characteristic 5-ton "kick up" in the front of the bed.

Well, I surely appreciate all your hard work, because all the tires have been really easy to dismount. :beer:

When was the LA rally? How long have you had them on? My concern is that if they only last 6 months or so, they're as useless as the zippered ones.

So, this is an ancient thread, but after reading about 25 of the old front axle boot threads, I think it's the most appropriate. My personal truck is due for maintenance and I am going to start putting new boots on my resale trucks. I do not want zippered boots because I prefer the one piece...

Once the bead is broken, you just need a "tire spoon" to work the tire and tube off the rim. I used to have access to a machine. I broke the bead and spun the tire off like a normal tire, being careful not to damage the tube. Our machine was just barely able to retract it's feet far enough to...

Wow, what a *******d.

Although in theory I agree with this; in execution it's nearly impossible. The agency in charge of an area would have to have sufficient manpower to more or less watch every vehicle in the area and document misuse/abuse. Then it gets to the already overworked court system, which doesn't have...

That's awesome.

I get the value of painless harnesses for street rods and such, where none of the original vehicle's gauges, ignition or general electrical system will be reused. Bu for our purposes, a brand new harness for $310 is an absolute no-brainer. A harness that has all the circuit #s on it...

As NDT said, it's a lead enamel. It doesn't stick to the aluminum not because it's a bad paint, but probably because the surface was not prepped properly and the correct aluminum specific primer wasn't used. Aluminum requires a specific (zinc based I think) primer in order for it to adhere...
