Great work, Stretch. Would be great to see that at Haspin, but I know the fuel bill to drive there would be murder, even from only mid-Ohio.

They've been using rolling fuel bladders since at least the early 1960s, thought not much recently. It used to be rather common seeing them, especially further up north where they roll really nicely on the packed snow. The further south you go, the less they were used, mostly because of the...

Keep an eye on the GSA auction site - M880s come up there often. They are getting old enough now that when they become available in any condition, snatch it up, even if they need some rust repair. The 318ci Dodge plant is hard to kill, and easy to find parts for.

I might be able to swing down there sometime in the next week or so. PM me for what you need looked at.

My vote still goes for the M274 mule with a .50 BMG mounted on it.

Run it into a brick wall, to flatten the nose out.

More pics.

Not the one on the mall in D.C., but rather the newer facility near Dulles Airport. This is a HUGE indoor facility, cost is free to go inside, but $15 to park (goes toward facility operations). LOTS of really neat displays, from the dawn of flight to today, covering commercial aircraft...

You could've called me for help! Might have been easier with two folks driving trucks.... Those NDTs were called "grave diggers" in WWII. GIs commented that under most conditions, they were great. However, in really wet dirt, they would dig straight down into the mud, essentially, "digging a...

Sure looks like a wreck......er.....

Yeah, I don't need them. 99% of what I get there I don't need, I just feel obligated to save it from the scrappers.

A couple got out - I remember seeing the auctions on GL. BUT - they were really scrap condition, victims of fire, rollovers, etc. I'm sure more get out via the scrap contracts, but they also require scrapping. The FTMV series is too new to be surplussed at all yet. When the value of them...

Does anyone know of a source for the voltage regulator for the MEP-018A 10KW gas genset?

Okay, here's the pics of what I towed home. Took a long time loading it up, lots of little stuff, but I'm glad to save some stuff from the scrapper. Weather was perfect when I went - just warm enough to make pulling parts comfortable, but not buggy and the brambles haven't grown yet. Total...

I like the airbag suspension setup. If it suits your purpose, it's not blasphemous. It looks like a professional modification job, to me. The independent suspension makes it perfect for offroading without the worry of hanging up on a rock.

PM sent.

Yup - that's worth $2500! Great save! Now change those seats!

I learned this from gunplumber on FalFiles.com... Use a normal hobby paintbrush, paint the whole lettered area, don't worry about going outside the lines. When the paint is dried a bit, but still tacky, take a piece of cloth like a worn hankerchief, something that doesn't have a lot of "fuzz"...

...and I killed a streetlamp in Blackstone when I didn't make the turn wide enough. Oops. Good thing the cop was nice, said that as long as I paid to replace the streetlamp no foul. My insurance is working on the details, but I figure one streetlamp post won't be too big a deal for them to...

Make one with a crew cab like the first, and an S-250 shelter behind it for a sleeper.
