    Door sag

    @kendelrio this is offtopic but when I noticed your saga I thought of an unrelated but similar headache-ish from my one trabant book..turns out that they fit the "raw" duroplast door panel onto a car then sandblast it to exact size hence since every car is 'bespoken', 30+ years later taking the...

    New from Virginia

    welcome @Guzzlebelly and mm well I would say to look up the technical manuals shared on this forum for the 813's, as your wipers are very likely air-operated ones so you're going have a particular air valve relay to look at (it may work again after some banging&cleaning or not..)

    monument to a canadian lynx m113

    not sure of a specific location other than that this was somewhere on the prince edward island itself around the early 2010's and especially just in case the more technical part of the display placard is of any interest to anyone else too (well..I mean that as in eg you could produce 200 trucks...

    forum update or not?

    @zebedee not to get offtopic here but I have to say that when I saw that I kinda started thinking of 'our' T-800 (robot acted by arnold schwarzenegger) driving that thing as it would be perfect with the extended hubs to play "paint trading" with any parallel vehicle aside to that umm well I...

    forum update or not?

    maybe @patracy should have a bit of fun sitting in a centered driver seat? I'm just being a bit silly of course but even then there really is such a truck in west canada tho as per https://i.ytimg.com/vi/W3llB4WZYUE/maxresdefault.jpg

    forum update or not?

    sorry about not being quite sure where to ask this but is anyone else basically lately seeing the entire forum categories/threads list being centred instead of left-justified? (and strangely I thought to indeed check the preferences but theres nothing in there related to something like this)

    Air System Issue - Brakes Locked Up

    regarding @GeneralDisorder you know what, some people can say the same thing about these old furnaces that came "bundled" with steel mesh filters instead of being expected to use separately purchased throwaway paper filters .. the former requires a good deep soakwash to be "refreshed" to use...

    Air System Issue - Brakes Locked Up

    normally if it was one or few tires at fault I would had suggested caging the offending brakes and limp carefully with limited brake power from the remaining tires, but since the entire system isn't able to air up in the first place this won't apply. in that case yeah, short of pinching off the...

    Does driving a three axle m35a3 require a CDL?

    @Heander well I don't know how their actual reliability is but many people seem to own the old ones without any issues nevertheless so .. there is always the highroof-spec mercedes sprinter from 1995 onward, as long as you perhaps opt to only look for diesel ones torqueoutput-wise

    Does driving a three axle m35a3 require a CDL?

    since theres hydraulic and as you're not putting it on too heavy weight-wise altogether you might not have to bother worry about anything but maybe asking your nearest dmv office too would be a good idea nevertheless? and btw number of axles doesn't really count in licenses but it can count in...

    Weight rating for 5 tons

    I don't meant to imply anything shady or anything in this real world of public-sharing-roads vehicles, but this thread rather reminds me of a certain final startrek episode with scott in it or to quote this particular discussion between scott and la forge; "The tank can't handle that much...

    Looking for Vietnam era pics of V100's with 504th

    mm yeah @M813rc thats an unfortunate side effect of how many humans rates things these days, you could have 20 neutral/negative ratings for a restaurant against maybe just 1 that praised the food there otherwise - and when you actually go the place then ask a few random tables there they would...

    MV of the month February 2025 nomination

    although its nothing to do with military vehicles I still present you this photo of my father "trying to find where his subaru outback was again" the day immediately after thursday's snowfall as much as he had just about finished blowing out the driveway itself hence the "edged" snow there (just...
