Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
.I recently purchased my dream truck…an M1123 HMMWV! Now for the waiting…
I‘ll use this time to read up and learn about some things I want to do to make it “mine”
.Thanks everyone! A local rally would be cool! The HMMWV was my second choice, but it was my wife's first choice, so the HMMWV it is. A duce (or 5 ton with a crane) on super singles was my first choice. I remember seeing a duce for sale about 10 years ago, the guy had a meat smoker that looked like a missile he towed behind it. Image pulling up to a campground with a smoking missile that served delicious helpings of America Meat! I cannot think of a better way you could both: 1. meet cool people and 2. keep the commies at bay!
The M1123 will replace our old YJ jeep. The YJ was my Wife's daily driver when we met over 20 years ago. About 15 years ago the Jeep got promoted from "daily driver" to "neighborhood toy" - an important vehicle title as we all have double-digit acreage in the mountains of TN.
Owning a decommissioned military vehicle was on both of our "bucket lists" so I'll be happy to have a new "neighborhood toy" and to cross something off our lists.
I've already started downloading manuals for it. I repair all my own stuff. The only time something goes to the shop is to get tires mounted or a front-end alignment.
We were looking at the trails on our property and my Wife said, "Is this wide enough for the Humvee?" I replied, "If the trail wasn't 7-1/2' wide when you started, it will be when you come out on the other side!"
