There is another thread for Deuce stack covers, but I’ve been searching for a while for a cover for my 5-ton trucks exhaust stack that will fit snug, blow off when starting, and not look as fugly as a paint can or 5-gal oil can. Because of the quick turn at the top, unlike the Deuce, it was hard...

New entrance requirements have recently been put in place at Ft. Polk, so you need to plan ahead. It used to be sufficient to show your driver's license for entry. Now you need to get out of your vehicle, take your registration, insurance, and driver's license in a building outside the gate...

I took the new M119A1 box trailer to pick up some square bales of hay. It was about a 2 ½ hour drive each way, since it’s been too dry to grow hay around here. Since it is normally a 2 hour drive, 25% slower wasn't too bad. We put 105 bales (about 5000 lbs) in the trailer with room to spare...

Well, I picked up my “M119A1 Trailer, cargo, van” at Camp Shelby Thursday. This was my first solo recovery (Bryan 4583794589349889 wanted to come, but he was working about 200 miles offshore). It was a 3-hour drive each way in my M818, and it was nice bonding with the old girl. Actually, she’s...

That's LA, not L.A., I live about 45 min. north of Baton Rouge on the MS/LA line. I've been lurking a couple of years, and just recently joined when I decided to stop dreaming and buy some old militiary iron from GL. I've been collecting M1 Garands and Mausers, but now need some rolling stock...
