See my last post for pictures and a list of parts. There is a thin flat plate on the inside of the bumper, but no other spacers.

Pictures are a little tricky because most of the assembly is bolted on the truck at the moment. Going from the rear forwards, the pieces are: 1) Pintle 2) Beveled plate for pintle to sit in 3) Plate with bent ears for safety chains 4) 1/2” plate from aftermarket receiver hitch 5) Bumper 6)...

Great questions. I need pretty close to 1/2” of clearance. There is only one washer on the shaft. Did you install your set-up? If so, how did you make it work? The shaft already has two holes for the cotter pin. They are drilled at a 90 degree angle to each other. I am using grade 8 bolts

The castellated nut is 1” tall. I thought about cutting 1/2” off, but I wasn’t comfortable with that option. Seems like it wouldn’t leave much of the nut.

I bought this >>> My intent was to keep the pintle hitch and simply add a 2” receiver like this example (which I saw posted here by another member) >> However, I’m stuck here >> The 2” receiver is made with 1/2” steel plate. With that in place, the nut no longer goes all the way on the...

Great question for @98G

So what does one do when they have a lot of clothes to pick up from the cleaners? Well, this…

I expect you to being yours to next year’s rally!

Unfortunately I can’t attend the rally this year. I just cancelled my reservation for Cabin 818. I had it reserved for October 5-8. So it should be up for grabs if someone were to call soon. I will live vicariously through those that attend and am looking forward to stories and pictures!

That sounds like a great event! Did you travel to the UK specifically to attend Tankfest? I know it’s called Tankfest, but did you happen to see any Alvis Stalwarts?

@german m1008 that looks like an outstanding event. Thanks for sharing the story and pictures!

I know that @texas30cal has rebuilt them without issue. They are relatively inexpensive, so I usually just buy new ones.

I finally got STAL II 876 out for her first public event in Texas. Yeah, I know… it took me long enough! Here are some pictures from last Saturday. She was on static display for an event in Conroe, Texas. Of course, the morning started with a quick bath… She even had OD green Home Depot drip...

The Ride for the Brave event last Saturday was awesome! It was a fun afternoon and a great event to honor veterans. Thank you to the SS members that attended! You and your MV’s really made this event standout! @fuzzytoaster; @Nitrodiver; @texas30cal; @Madmedic; @Rhino 5/4; @Firehound I...

I just put a new master cylinder in my Deuce last weekend. There is no need to bleed the master cylinder. The bleeding procedure starts at the air pack. Throw away the rubber cap and use a vented cap.

It’s amazing what a few hours with a pressure sprayer can do! Imagine my surprise when I found a M936 under all the dirt, grease and grim!

Annual Ride For The Brave event – Conroe, Texas stop on July 22nd We are less than a week out from the event in Conroe, Texas! Anyone with a military vehicle or motorcycle that wants to join the police escorted ride can meet us at 11am on July 22nd at the Valero gas station located at the...

Wow! @HUMMER H1 those pictures are amazing! I need to live vicariously through your adventures more often!!!!

Ugly trucks??? I didn’t know that you had any of those!

We participated in a parade this morning and then headed straight to Honor Cafe in Conroe, Texas for lunch.
