    Looking at a 2200 mile recovery ! What would you take ?

    Friends, MVers, countrymen; it's a fine day to be an American. Sending from iPhone so I only skimmed this thread. A history of the truck could show a lot. If the truck spent its life in a mates or ecs site, then low mileage could be true. Even if it did the odometer could have been...

    Periscope

    M113 Family of Vehicles (FOV) which includes the M981 or a M901. The standard M113 commanders cupola used the M17 vision block (6 I think in the commanders cupola).

    Mystery marking + how to uncover unit markings

    But if I give away all my trade secrets........ TCAIMS II= Transportation Coordinators-Automated Information Management System II . This system replaced TC-ACCIS and DAMMS-R but anything other than that, I'd have to suggest a google search.

    Mystery marking + how to uncover unit markings

    Negative on all previous. This vehicle belonged to HHC (Headquarters and Headquarters Company) of the 1st Battalion, 171st Aviation Regiment which is a Florida Army National Guard unit (Google is your friend). Most likely this was a vehicle within their S-1 (Personnel) section since it is...

    Bumper Markings

    For serial and registration number histories, you need to go to that thread and thoroughly read post number 1 concerning what you need to do. Photos are not allowed. There is a reason for that.

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    Flushed the engine block from the head gasket replacement. Attempted to start it. Nothing, the starter didn't turn at all. Smelled ozone. Disconnected battery. .When I turn on the switch, I see power to the fuel and altimeter drops that little dip to the negative. So I thin the switch is...

    Periscope

    look through the lens. If it is off a M901 ITV then it will have four vertical ranging lines (long one, short one, short one, long one). If it is from a M981 FISTV then it will have a grid in it.

    Texas Division - Drive Across Texas

    June or July in Texas in an un-air conditioned MV.....I've done that in July and then October in a CUCV, then in a deuce twice times (May and October) and those were bad. It would nearly "de vision" me doing it again since I'm so old. Of course my parents always said it I would do such things...

    Markings on M998

    Sounds like a good question for the vin info thread.

    Markings on M998

    Last character is a ZERO. The military serial and registration numbers don't use O (Oscar). Go to the vin info thread and by doing the donation, you can get the 411 on your truck.

    You're lucky, you have a soldier B and C to help. Some of us have come to the conclusion we are getting to be too old to hump 300 pound tires during services. It became all I could do was deal with the A3 wheel assembly. Hence, I'm getting rid of my toys. New job, new priorities but I'll be...

    Who is in SOMD?

    Heck Aberdeen has a meet coming up next weekend. It used to be a very, very large event (ONE OF the largest in the world) but not as big last few years. Then you have the NJ Show in Sussex, NJ which is probably one of the top 10 in the US is held in April of each year. Gilbert PA is held in...

    Bumper re-stenciling - which TM?

    That I don't think is a specific measurement. I've seen rectangles like yours, 29th ID has ovals, some have entire bumper (top to bottom) painted from the cleaves outward.
