Your Jeep looks awesome, I love it!

I've put it on undiluted (100% strength) and not peeled the paint, but your mileage may vary. A lot probably depends upon how well the paint is sticking to the subsurface.

I got some industrial Zep from a very good friend (:beer:) and I will thin it varying degrees and apply it using a bug sprayer. Let it sit 5 minutes and pressure wash away. Like Zout said, nothing's as good as a steam cleaner. I have a friend with one and I just can't believe what it does...

jeez loiuse, put on your thinking cap! How do you expect a man to clean his gutters? Prune the tall bushes? Get an apple for his kid? Get the neighbor's cat out of the tree? Get the kid's rubber band airplane off the roof? Look at the sunbathing neighbor next door? Put the dog on the roof...

The transmission isn't heavy, 2 guys can pick one up. The bigger issue will be properly balancing the load with the transmission attached. I don't have a good way to do this (currently) so I separate the engine and trans before removal. I am working on a way to pull and install them...

While you're swapping engines, now is the time to do anything engine compartment related: Want to paint it (the engine compartment)? No better time. Steering box leaking or worn out? Believe me, now is the time to rebuild it. Memphis has the rebuild kits priced reasonably. A steam cleaner...

Welcome to the site. Consider this an invitation to the premier military vehicle event, the Ga. Rally. Link to last year's fun in below. The info thread for 2014 will be up soon.

There have been literally dozens of threads on all the ways to upgrade M44 series steering systems, you should ask this question in one of those threads. If you need help finding them (or other threads in the future) there is a link in my signature line. Click it, ask for help. I'll link a...

A 715 is an old enough vehicle that you won't be buying it from GL. You may find some through the State surplus services but they'll be likely to have been used by Fire Departments and modified to varying degrees. Your best bet for 715s is eBay, SS classifieds, Craigslist and your local...

If, and only if, you hit the obstacle in a certain way. I have bent the cowling on 2 different trucks, because of the way I touched an obstacle and it pulled the mirror assy. (legs and all) with it. I have been considering some kind of plastic "sheer pin" arrangement for the mirrors. You...

The operators manual has a decent description but after reading I still felt intimidated by it, as I had no real world experience with anything other than little electric aftermarket winches on Jeeps. This should help...

I don't know who you think you are, actually having a plan and being prepared. You certainly don't fit in around here.

:) Fixed

We are so sorry to hear this. The family has our condolences and if there's anything we can do to assist, we'd be happy to. Matt was a big help running the Ga. Rally. He ran our First Aid station (he was a former medic) and not only did he run it, he supplied all the materials and helped...

Difference between the regular pedals and A3 pedals can be seen here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?82965-Extended-height-M44-pedals&highlight=

I have a Fluke 73 or 77, I've had it for so long I can't even remember what model it is.

Deuce = 12' long 5 ton = 14' long Main differences are the length and some small differences in how the taillights mount. I can't speak of advantages as I haven't done this.

Alright, I need help finding something. I could have sworn that Reo sold a civilian version of the M44 (I think it was an M34) in the 1950's. It was mechanically the same as our stuff but with 12V electricals and regular automotive wiring. I really remember seeing some kind of a full page...

I looked all through that thread and the pics of his truck really didn't show how much it was twisted up. I did find this though:

This picture doesn't show the maximum frame twist that is possible, but it's a good example. From the 2008 SSGR. I guess you could look at it like that, but to me, it seems like a good reason to spend 15 minutes and $0 and adjust your PTO linkage. I don't have a problem with hydraulic...
