I have a 1969 Kaiser Jeep M35A2 with the Herculese multi-fuel engine and a winch that I'm restoring. I purchased it at auction from the U.S. Government, sight unseen at Fort Indiantown Gap in Pennsylvania and drove it 700 miles home. It took me 17 hours driving, with no significant problems other than wipers didn't work in the rain and the fuel gauge was erratic. I received it last July. I drove one while in the U.S. Army and stationed in Germany 1970-1971 and had wanted one ever since. They are a great truck, but BIG! Mine attracts a lot of attention while driving around.

I just joined HMVF. I find it very interesting to see what is happening with Military Vehicles in other countries. I am currently restoring a 1969 M35A2 truck. Today I started the task of installing a cab reinforcement plate. I have an M66 Gun Ring set up for a Browning M2 .50 cal. machine gun that I'm going to mount on the truck and a cab reinforcement plate is required due to the weight. My current MV collection includes: 1969 M35A2 W/Winch 1968 M105A2 trailer 1992 M116A2 trailer with mounted MEP-003A 10 KW generator 30D36R 3KW portable diesel generator Aside from MVs, my interests include shooting and flying my Cessna 152.
