My Father in law is planning a trip on his motorcycle to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. It is the farthest north you can get in the United states by road. He plans on leaving from Mile Post 0 on I-95 in FL. He has been obsessed with the trip, going over all his routes, plans, stops, and preperations with...

Hey all, I was wondering if someone living near Richmond could pickup a 105 trailer for me? Maybe hold it for a little bit? Right now it is on a car dealer lot, and I'd rather pay storage to an SS member than them. I can't get up there to get it for another month or so, and I don't really want...

Hey guys, I've got a problem. I need to pick up two trailers from Richmond tomorrow morning, but the trailer I was going to put them on wasn't big enough. I've got to get a m200 with a 15kw gen and a m105. My question is, is there a member close by that can store my 105 trailer for a few...

I hope some of you radio gurus can help me and Sevo out. He installed a Vic-1 in his deuce, and it works great. Last night he installed a vt-246 radio into the system and now there is constant static and the intercom system no longer works. The TMs weren't much help to the non-electronic...

Installed a new air horn in my 109. The original electrical horn sounded crappy, so it had to replace it. Found two of these horns laying around in my old school bus ( I am most definitly a 'I'll use it one day' type collector. :wink:) Sounds great, I had to run an air line off the govenor...

I'm really having some issues in the voltage generation department. I'm had 6 alternators die on me in about a year and a half. Different brands, different trucks, different batteries. Am I just a alternator killer? do I have 24vdc repellent in my blood? What gives? I just installed a BRAND...

Hey guys, I picked up a M1008 from Ft Stewart yesterday. Blt 5/85. Ran, drove, has one belt squiling. Even had a full tank of fuel. :grin: Flat towed her to the Air Force Base where I work. Figure I will fix her up and test here out on the bases rail system. It has hyrail gear mounted on...

Anyone going or has been to Redestone to preview recently? A friend is looking for a M1008. Please PM me. Thanks.

I picked up a M35 for Gearspec last week from Ft. Jackson. When I was rolling off base, I looked over to a field full of trucks and trailers, and spotted an M109A3, literally. the chasis was modifided A3, with the M109 box. I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen one, and if it was an...

Hey Guys, I know I haven't been here much. I wish I could be, I miss it. Just thought if you want I will be taking the train to Maine on Thursday, then renting a 12' penske truck to haul a bedroom set for my Mother in law from almost the Canadian border back to Norfolk VA, then I'm driving my...

Hey Guys, I went mudding in my new M109 today, didn't make it the first time, didn't have my gears figured out. But made it the second time, and even forgot to engage the front axle! No video of the second trip, but one of me missing the first one. Used the truck as a viewing platform for...

Uh oh, Seems I went and won a M109 at Ft Jackson today. I had to, it went for a decent price and when I went to look at the other M35s they had, the guy there had to move this truck so I got to see it run and drive. Purrs like a kitten. Now I have to break it to momma that I got another big...

Yes, I'm a maniac. I've been needing (er, wanting) a pyro for sometime, so I finally ordered one and installed it today. Ordered it from Diesel Manor, and it arrived fine. I did ask for a 24vdc one, but got a 12vdc instead. I needed it for this weekend, so I installed it anyway, just ran a wire...

Well, something terrible happened with my Dodge 2500 diesel, not sure what it is yet, but it ain't good. Dad (herc69) and I drove up to VA on Thursday so I could pack up more stuff (moving from VA to SC) Truck ran great on the way there, then started to buck and shake really bad and stall...

Well, I'm moving back home to SC, because I start my job in March. I have A LOT of stuff, so moving it all was going to be a long process. I have a 1973 chevy bus that I had taken all the seats out of to turn it into an RV. Well, the RV part never came along, so I made sure she would make the...

Get yer minds out of the gutter! My wife and I went down to SC to see my folks for the holidays last weekend. Well, we both really wanted to bring the M35 back up with us. So we hatched this brilliant scheme, where we would drive the deuce home on the 31st of Dec. Now, the rear tires on the...
