Not me in the truck or my YT account. Look up the Perry Mud Bog some time. ;)


Here's another video from the bog (most of you will dislike the music so you might want to watch it muted  :uhoh )

Like, ya know, when that thing that makes you move, it has pistons and things, When your thingamajigy is providing power, you do not hear other peoples thingamajig when they are providing power.

I wish people would use the wish list forum to post their brilliant ideas, and be smart enough to not post all their stupid ones.

But I am under no disillusions of my wish ever being fulfilled.

We had a M35 that was refurbed with a new Cat engine and the auto inflate system on it like the HUMVEE. Got to play with it in here snow one day down here which was rather fun. We actually ended up taking it back and getting a M939 5 ton which was much easier to drive. Power steering, what a concept.

Thought they had solid axles?

Top-loaders, IIRC...

Was just curious if the axles were changed or if there is a new CTIS that works with solid axles as I would love to put this on my Wrangler.    :banana:

I already have on-board air  :rock        http://s239.beta.photobucket.com/user/tymekeepyr/library/Jeep/OBA%20Install

I always thought that the CTIS couldn't be installed with solid axles (which my Wrangler has, also)

 I don't know of any reason why it wouldn't work,,, our 5 ton has it,( solid axles), I am pretty sure I've seen late model M-35s with it as well last time i was at the depot in Colorado
I would love to know why it supposedly wouldn't work?


  new project!! :noid :noid :noid :noid

On topic about the fuel - my unit was in the field doing some cross training for a few days and we came across this
(ignore the flipped over vehicle in the background...  :uhoh  :bolt: )



And I looked and sure enough (I immediately thought of this thread...I think I may have a problem.)




"M.A.N. license" hehe. Gotta be a man to drive this bad boy.

That IS what that means right? I mean...chicks don't drive cool stuff like this right?  :confused:

Ii was the duece driving instructor for my unit for a while,, schooled a few women on how to drive them,, M.A.N. card,,LOL.  That's cool,,,some of you old soldiers will understand,, I once got an AAM for getting no deficiencies on a road side spot check by the fort Gordon MP's in my duece,, my reward was,, I was made duece driving instructor,,,a very cushy job to say the least. I also became the chow teams driver while we were in the field ,, which meant I went to rear everyday for a nice hot shower,, ate all my meals hot, and slept in the back of my duece in " the lap of luxury". Being awakened by the cooks just in time for hot chow for breakfast ,,then another trip back to the rear, another hot shower, and a nap!
