    saving military communications gear at hamfests

    Today was the last local hamfest of the year! Well, local is relative, it was 2 hours away, and normally I wouldn't have spent the gas to get there, but I was visiting my brother further north and stopped in on the way back. Location was Westminster MD, a small club show; club shows are...

    M 134 minigun replica build, Terminator style

    Looks great - only thing I can think of to make it super-detailed, are data plates, the appropriate decals, and maybe some electrical wiring for the joystick controls. Just being picky, I know, you're doing a great job.

    Thanks Gimpyrobb

    I see the hood is already tipped 90 degrees out of level from where it should be. Looks like gimpy has been here.... :)

    M870A1 Acquisition Thread

    I'm sure it's for Soni, I remember seeing a MK rollover in his yard in one of the pics, I think he has his next project lined up!

    M870A1 Acquisition Thread

    Because if you are a private in the motor pool with a good trailer on the left that's missing a few parts, and another one on the right, they will save time and paperwork and use parts from one to keep the other one going. Plus, what you're asking begs the question: if it's anything related to...

    PA - Fall 2014 Rausch Creek Steel Soldiers Rally

    ALWAYS have a great time at Rausch Creek! Weather was great this time, the trails are always fun, and the people are just awesome. The lines to get registered sucked this time, though, but not our fault, some larger group sponsored an event there this weekend, and it took me 1 hr 45 mins to...

    PA - Fall 2014 Rausch Creek Steel Soldiers Rally

    If anyone has a cooler with a little extra room for suds and sodas I would greatly appreciate it. My mermite cooler is currently at Art Swain's place undergoing a resto. Packing the truck up now, have to check coolant and oil levels and will hit the road shortly after. See you all there!

    I Want the big tires

    The true diameter of a 7.00x16 tire is 30 inches. For 7.50x16, it's 31 inches. Not a big deal at all, run em!

    Trailer identification help

    Check out the wheels on the Colemans one vs. your pic. Different trailer, I've seen a couple of those at Coleman's yard, they are rather small and designed for low-speed.

    pafarmer, bring an extra truck - I promise I'll be a safe driver! :)

    PA - Fall 2014 Rausch Creek Steel Soldiers Rally

    Agreed, I am of the camp that we should do 2 runs a day, not 1 large run, and the first run should be 830-1 or so, then back for lunch, then out again 2-6. But we always seem to get a late start, it's hard to get people moving out of camp any earlier due to families, cooking breakfast, etc. So...

    Trailer identification help

    The AM32 trailer uses M37 rims I believe, 5-bolt lugs. That trailer the OP posted looks to be 6-bolt lugs, bigger trailer. It looks like a lot of things that came out of the bombing ranges out west, that were used during the Cold War. There are countless modifications and variants of all...

    Joined the MKT elite

    I love the concept of owning a MKT, but I will probably never need a kitchen that can feed that many people, it's just overkill. But I'm glad you saved one for yourself, it's pretty nice!

    R-2 crash truck

    This is a rarity, most were scrapped for the aluminum bodies. The engine and drivetrain are all M37, and there's plenty of parts for anything engine, tranny, Xfer, suspension, steering, hardware, etc. related on that truck. Only the body was unique, and that picture shows, to us, a very...

    PA - Fall 2014 Rausch Creek Steel Soldiers Rally

    Should I bring scrapple to donate to the cause? Not sure if anyone wants to eat that crap, but it's cheap enough I could provide a couple packages.
