    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    I noticed this vehicle has a single cab on its right side and a double cab on its left side. What crew duties/positions? Front: driver & co-driver; Rear: Commander/Crew Chief/Systems Operator (for multiple steering modes)????? I'm sure that when deplored to the battlefield the multiple tasks...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Gottal luv when opportunity and preparedness meet like that. Thanks for sharing your story! I could almost hear the "SWOOOOOOP" sound of an eagle snatching it's prey.

    Florida DMV Trip

    Since you seem to be receiving citations from the City of Jupiter Code Enforcement, it's best you approach this in one of two ways: 1. Ask exactly to WHICH SPECIFIC Municipal Ordinance they assert you are in violation. OR 2. Start researching your City Ordinances on you own... They are available...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    FWIW (For What It's Worth): The internet's WIKI for HMMWV redirects to the HUMVEE WIKI webpage. Hence, Al Gore's internet seems to think that HMMWV and HUMVEE would be synonyms. This WIKI bears a note just below its title: "This article is about the military vehicle. For the civilian...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2018 - August VOTE HERE!

    Some additional photo album memories of readying the 220KAK for her recovery trip.... I had located some "new" wheels and tires. They had come of an M818 that had gotten larger "shoes" for playing in the mud. These tires still had (and still have) the mold nubs on them. Got the full set of...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2018 - August VOTE HERE!

    Well, as the 21st of the month slips away, I see our 220KAK has managed TWO votes! I am appreciative yet surprised. Others are more "beautiful", better restored, more "desirable" in the typical motor pool, and even currently operational. Yet we still have several weeks to see this poll to...

    Now THAT's a campaign strategy.... nothing short of "kissing babies" while stomping the campaign trail!!! Can't say that's playin' dirty. Just taking note. Maybe I should take some pics with our dogs and cats on and around the 220KAK... You know, play the PET CARD! :jumpin:rofl:driver:

    220KAK 26' Box Van Trailer This restoration is a work in progress.... Very, Very SLOW progress so far. She's currently parked in our back yard in such a position that photos worthy of posting are nearly impossible to be had. We have not done much toward her restoration yet as she's...
