sounds good. but like real estate its location, location, location. shipping heavy parts around gets expensive. you need to be in an area that has a lot of guys/gals that want to work on old surplus and has pro surplus laws. you need some good buildings to store and work on stuff. most of...

let us know how she works once you get some go juice in her. seems like there is always something that needs to be sorted out on a big project like this. also some glamor shots from 10/20 feet away. maybe even some action shots feeding the thirsty horde. nothing too sexy as we have young ones...

by the way, the reason i mentioned the grounding issue was because i worked on an airfield in the army. helicopters and the odd small aircraft. our co at the time was shall we say extremely specific about how things were done. nothing but nothing was going to affect our units readiness...

The scale is different but all the same type "@&%*#$" nonsense has happened on this end. literally tons of generators, compressors,water pumps, heaters , spare engines, deuce parts, military trailers. unfortunately most of it is no longer popular or geographically desirable. kind of makes you...

well sounds like we are in a similar boat except my pond is a lot smaller than yours. Since this state pulled the rug out from under MV owners i have to be a bad criminal if i want to go for a ride off property. Its a fine sight to see when a man can pull it back together after the big D...

not clear from pictures, already mounted on a deuce rolling chassis? you must have a hungry fleet nearby or a big airplane like a c 130. i was also wondering about grounding while you fuel up and refueling other vehicles. is that all sorted out? and oh yes, i did just have my morning coffee...

are you taking into account that the dump bed on the m35a2 variant is significantly heavier and structurally much more significantly reinforced. it is one of the reasons that the sides of the dump bed are so short. it helps to restrict how much weight you can put in the bed and ultimately on...

I would also guess that you have lost pressure on the intake ( engine exhaust ) side of the turbo. if you see signs of an exhaust leak on the head where gasket is that could be a clue. however I would think it would have to be a fairly large exhaust leak. as mentioned above a gasket on the...

i am an old coot but it can still feel pretty good when i get one of them s.o.b.'s apart and back together again. indeed, beer thirty. here's to split rings that fight you and lose. they keep you in the game.

definitely M 105 trailer, early tongue wheel, check underneath to confirm someone has not replaced air brakes with electric. may have converted the brake lights to "civilian" as well. like others have said it is somewhat towable by a pickup. stopping with a load and backing up not so much...

I would suggest if you have not done so already, try to drive the lip of the tire down a few inches all around the circumference of the rim. the split ring rests against this small edge on the rim and when the tire is inflated the split ring "locks" between the rim and tire. a few raps with a...

Looks like it was outfitted for some pretty rough water with those impact absorbing seats. I like the built in bumpers. suppose you would need that if you had to board another vessel as well. machine gun mounts definitely give it a wow factor. even an airsoft model would be sure to please...

that is one heck of a boat. does not look like something that wants to be confined to an inland lake. almost 500 HP wowee. if it had wheels it would be a house mover. just curious--what did the refit cost?

WyCOLO Deuce--I support and encourage your efforts. Just a comment--Did the republican caucus seem only willing to support this for commercial purposes? A lot us don't have CDL's or commercial uses and likely would not be able to take advantage of such a change. Nonetheless, keep us informed...

I sure would like to have an M118. Do you think he might want to part with it?

great to see you are still working on this. I suppose fabricating the side panels are way too expensive. what about using the 127 panels as parts and reconstructing the 118 panels from those parts?

I recall a thread on here about replacing the regular bolts on the trunnion cap with button head(hex drive) and seems to rub less destructively on the tires. I also recall that you can get a spacer that fits on the hub , you would need four. not sure but I think it was 1/4 inch thick flat...

Nice rig. any problems having it tagged?

I as well would like to find some way of helping in a positive manner. I have done some research on this in the past and called senators, joined letter campaigns etc. it just seems so arbitrary over such a well thought out and respectful original statute from our elected officials. I know we...

that thing with the wide load sign looks like a trailer for an old movie. get it -------"movie trailer". Does this qualify for a dumb dad joke if I say " Luke this is my trailer"? How about if I say----if that is a full size replica of Darth Vader's ship then "may the Farce be with you"...
