So, I'm rebuilding an MEP-003A genset and an M116A2 trailer. I am in the process of going through the fuel system and am running into the typical issues. Lack of maintenance, corrosion, sludge, etc. I am soaking the filter canisters and components in CLR and getting good results. The tank...

I have decided to give up on my M35A2 dump truck project. Between age, health, monetary and time issues, getting it finished seems impossible at this point. So I’m going to let someone else have at it. I hate giving up on anything and I hate giving up on this. But I'm never going to be able...

So, I am restoring an M116A2 trailer that my MEP-003A is going to live on. An SS user in Guymon, Ok. has a set. These bows are one piece, so they're big. You can't take them apart like Deuce bows and ship 'em in a box. They'd need to ride on a truck or a trailer. I live in Athens, Ga. I'd be...

I have two trucks I need to paint. Both will be 383 / 34094 colored, maybe one will be 3-color camo, but it isn't likely. Gillespie/Rapco is great - it's cheap and it sprays easily but that's it. It's a cheap paint, with cheap materials and no catalyst. I've painted tons of stuff in various...

If there is not a new rally boss within one week, we will be outside our window of opportunity with one of the facilities below, so interested persons need to apply now. So, when I started the Ga. Rally, it wasn't that I wanted to be a rally leader, I just wanted to go to an event the likes of...

This is a post I've been putting off for awhile. Short: I'm having some health issues that make big stuff like the Deuce very challenging, both in terms of working on it and operating it. I have considered selling it as a result. I have zero interest in selling it, as I'm very close to being...

Please post your pictures and video of the 2023 event here.

Hey everyone. Rally is approaching and now's the time to get the buy-sell-trade thread up. Here's how this works: you post up what you have for sale and maybe you can make a pre-sale and you post up for what you're looking for and maybe someone who wasn't planning on bringing that item sees...

The official 2023 Southeast Military Vehicle Rally information thread (the event formerly known as the Georgia Rally). Never been to one of these? 90 seconds of background if you’ve never attended: The event started in 2006 in my backyard near Athens, Georgia. It was a one day cookout for a...

Hey everybody In a stunning display of competency, I managed to get the official rally thread up and never bothered to create the buy-sell-trade thread. So here we are. The idea here is basic: post what you're looking for and what you have for sale and make some sales before you ever get to...

The official 2022 Southeast Military Vehicle Rally information thread (the event formerly known as the Georgia Rally). So, this is an all new event for 2022, so I’ll give you 90 seconds of background if you’ve never attended. The event started in 2006 in my backyard near Athens, Georgia. It...

Ok, folks, this is the thread for the 21GMVR. You post up what you'd like to sell, and what you're looking for and if you're open to trades. I'll get this started I have for sale: nothing I'm looking for: NOS Scepter fuel cans NOS drivers side multifuel M44A2 (M35A2) fender G177 tires...

Hey everybody. This is Clint. Please accept my apologies for how long this has taken. Mac and I visited more than a dozen sites and due to the distances involved, every one of those was an all day affair. So both of us had to take an entire day off work, drive out there, look it over, and then...

Ok folks, the 20GMVR is almost here and this is the buy sell trade thread. Here's how this works: you post up what you're planning on bringing to sell and what you're looking for. And commerce will commence. Here's my lists: I am looking for: A pair of NOS highback M44A3 or HMMWV seats...

There are some big changes for 2020, so you need to read this. There will be a “too long, didn’t read” section summarizing the changes in Post #2 Welcome to the 2020 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally (20GMVR) Official Info thread. This is our 14th annual event. If you've never been, watch this...

So I have a Haldex N50011H, which I believe is original equipment for MRAP and perhaps M939 series trucks. I'll be installing this on my '87 M35A2C. After reading up on various threads (https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/air-dryer-for-an-m35a2.65682/), I have questions: A. I looked...

I have a buddy with a first generation M1078 (I can't bring myself to call it an A0). The alternator caught on fire. I'm fixing it. Truck came to me with a 100A 24-12V alternator 76761-N1506-1. And this is what I bought, not realizing the small differences. I bought a...

Alright, I need some suggestions on wiper upgrades. I have the good aluminum air powered motors (which I like) and the standard civvy arm and blade upgrade everyone here has been running for years (Anco 41-01 arms and 31-13 blades). It works awesome except the chickenpoop plastic clips which...

I'm doing a restoration on a '42 White M2A1 halftrack and I need some help with colors. The engine is at the machine shop and I'm building the gearboxes now. I think the engine is supposed to be grey (it was the same olive drab as the vehicle when I received it) but I'm not sure about the...

This year will be very similar to last year’s event, obviously the date is 2019 specific. So, if you’ve attended the last few years, you probably know what you need to know. We'd also like to take this opportunity to thank our 2019 sponsor, Memphis Equipment, for their assistance. Without them...
