Still one for now, I may be able to get her to stay at her grandparent's place for a couple days instead. Will advise if something changes, thanks.

May be having my daughter with me, my schedule worked out this way with her mom. If she does come, it will be against her will, she doesn't understand her dad's hobbies.

I might be going up on Friday evening, rfischba1. However, I'm coming from VA, and going a bit further than the show - I can take you to where the show is, just letting you know I will be going out that night to stay at family's place. I am very familiar with the show's location, I grew up in...

Some day, I'd love to drive out west, and on my trip, stop by your place. I feel it would be much better to drool over at your place, and at least water the grass, than waste all my drool here in front of the computer! Keep it up, Soni, your work is an inspiration to us all in our projects...

"The SB-3614(V)/TT is a tactical 30-line analog switchboard which can provide a variety of 2, 4, and 6 wire circuits. Subscriber lines off the SB-3614 are 2-wire DTMF or Dial Pulse, and can support TA-838 or STU-III telephones. Trunk interfaces are 2-wire for long locals or PTT lines...

Thanks Shenk.

Anyone have a spare military cot they can bring and loan me for Friday and Saturday night? I believe I have a 3/4-ton M101 trailer I can borrow from a friend that I can sleep in, but my cot broke last fall and I haven't been able to snag one for sale since. I just need it for a couple nights...

I'll be there for a few hours in the morning on Saturday.

I have to come up with the flyer so that it will be able as soon as Aberdeen comes around, so I can pass it out to interested folks. Also need to advertise in MVM and Supply Line.

Looks like blocks were installed. In every 4x4 magazine I know of, and book about offroading trucks and jeeps, it warns to NEVER install life blocks on the front axle. Also, the owners should think twice about installing them on the rear axle, too. Too much weight + too much flex (side to...

Yellow denotes cowardice - if you were that trailer, and someone hacked off your front portion with a torch, wouldn't you be scared? ;)

Great job! I love these junker to jewel restorations!

yes but it's SO HILARIOUS it's good for several years!

It's definitely a CJ-2A or CJ-3A. The Windshield is definitely from a -3A. For $500, buy the whole thing. That body isn't too bad, I've seen worse get repaired. The body by itself is probably $200 or so. Then you have all the little parts, an engine/tranny/xfer core, two axles, and a lot...

Since this isn't an operation while under fire, you can afford the time to do it right. Send a crew out in a boat, with a depth ruler (or stick) to ascertain how deep the water is, or if the water is moving too fast. If it's higher than the bottom of the windshield on the FMTV, bring BOATS...

It IS a neat video, showing the capabilities of the truck (MTVR or FMTV, regardless they're pretty capable), what ticks me off is that the drivers ASSUME that the water is shallow enough for their trucks to go down the street without drafting water. Stupidity and ignorance is a trait that is...

Ah jarhead Privates. Without them, we'd have more money in the DoD's bank account, as we wouldn't have to spend it fixing gear that wouldn't have been destroyed by stupidity. Hope noone drowned here. Can't say so much for that engine, though.

I'm a little worried - a semi-trailer isn't a house. A house is built and stays put. However a semi-trailer moves and hits bumps and yes, it FLEXES a little bit. I just hope after all the work you put into it, that you don't take it for a long ride one day, and end up finding boards and...

You win! Hard to kill an army truck. We've had stories in the past about people who topped off the oil, added fresh batteries and fuel, and fired up trucks that hadn't been started for DECADES. Rust is the biggest problem for old military vehicles, their mechanicals are pretty rugged...

Welcome from the Land of Ever-Diminishing Freedom! We like Russian MVs as well, they are just as ugly as our trucks, and just as rugged too. They just go better with Vodka. I had no idea we had a few people here with Russian wives. I might have to look into that, I've heard they are...
