    CUCV dually

    I saw one sell for more than $12K once, but it was SWEET looking.

    Looking for Military Vehicles to use in Independent Film

    It's a gore-fest. Make sure you hose the red goop off your trucks after the filming, and if you watch the movie, bring a bag to barf in. Gory movies have that effect on people.

    small shelter, humvee?

    That size shelter was designed originally to fit on the M-37. The M715 also used them. However, it can fit on almost every full size pickup.

    CUCV dually

    Rare birds, but nothing better for hauling heavy loads, especially with a 5th-wheel hitch.

    Another M146 Build

    Pretty cool - how do you have the air brake lines hooked up? Do they go only to the M200 trailer, or to the M146 trailer, or modified to both?

    help me design a radio shelter

    Recon Charlie Alpha - thanks for the input. Some of those milpack radios are very expensive for what you get, and most are not rack mounted. But there are a few good ones in there. The GRC-106 is probably one of the better ones that I would use, for 2-30 MHz TX and RX. However, it's USB and...

    help me design a radio shelter

    Lots of good info, Alpha, thanks! I hear the "civvy radios are better" opinion. And to some degree, on some bands you're right - especially 2 meters and it's surrounding regions. However, I've found military radios to be more rugged (I've beat them around moving them and they took it in...

    help me design a radio shelter

    I'll poke them too, just wanted to see if anyone here, maybe OPCOM or another commo expert, could weigh in. Remember, if I don't ask, there is never an answer.

    help me design a radio shelter

    Project for next year is to build and design a S-280 radio shelter that would be my ham shack, that could be a semi-permanent emplacement here, but could also be mounted in the future to a M923/5 series truck for bringing to shows so I could run my ham gear on site. It will also be a camper...

    No keys? 915 recovery

    Hot wire it. All a keyed switch is, is a way to secure an electrical connection between the battery and the starter. Find the wires behind the panel that go to the keyed switch, and connect. Easy. From wikipedia: "Hot-wiring generally involves connecting the two wires which complete...

    New guy in Maryland

    Nice truck, looks like you have a good start, a truck without a lot of damage or cancer. I actually like the yellow on it. I' remove the spreader and the plow mount, and maybe repaint a shade darker yellow, like the Navy uses on forklifts, and stencil as a Navy truck....

    M-5 Stuart through White castle drive through.

    Cool video - seems like a nice guy, but I've never met him. However, now that you guys inform us he's not Russian, I always kinda noticed that his "accent" wasn't right. I've dated a few Russian ladies in the past 6 years and I know what a real Russkie accent is, and his just sounded a bit...
