RE: RC I asked dm22630 if he wants to go up there, he said yes but it all depends on whether or not he has to work that weekend. He won't know until the Wednesday before. He's in the foreclosure business, and right now business is real good around here, gotta take the money while its there...

I'd be happy to do it, but not 100% sure that I will be going to the GA rally, depends on my personal economy toward the end of October. I am planning on sending a letter to Uncle Sam asking for a bailout. :D

BTT since we're approaching the "2 weeks to go point". Anyone else going to the event?

I liked some of the living history displays the guys inside the fence did. One day, when I have time, I'm going to get out all my Vietnam stuff, see who wants to join me in the effort, and set up a big a$$ display of equipment, make a base camp, accessorize the vehicles, etc. It will be a lot...

A quarter-pound of C-4 works nicely for this.

You would think, as well, with the military needing as much money as they can get, that they would reconsider selling the older HMMWVs if and when they become available, as there is a ready market for them, and the $$$ the sales would bring for such a large number of HMMWVs would pay for a lot...

Last minute repairs are fun. Especially at 4 in the morning. nopics

RE: My M35A2 CARC - Chemical Agent Resistant Coating. Like paint, but resistant to many types of chemicals and solvents. It is expensive for us to buy, and dangerous for us to spray and sand. For repainting the deuce using the same looking paint job, the paint makers use a CARC-looking...

Pretty uneventful ride up and back. I broke down 10 miles from Gilbert on the way to the show, broken accelerator return spring. A quick call to SrJeeper and jatonka, and Bill came out and helped me with the roadside service. Thanks! Going back I was towing a CUCV for medlog, Gilbert PA to...

Re: RE: Why not M998s at GL auctions???? Perhaps there is some way to contest this, to change the ruling now that AMG isn't making the H-1s anymore? Plus, the suspension of the HMMWV is the SAME as the H-1, so the suspension argument is moot. You can flip a Suzuki Samauri over easier than a...

RE: From the resource filie: I stand corrected. Thanks for the info!

bigbee - those pics are for a standard M43 ambulance. They are common. Look at the B&W pic I posted, note the windows in the top of the body...

The XM152 panel van version of the M37 was a very low production version of the Canadian M152CDN radio truck. It was used as a mobile shop, radio van, and command vehicle, but I believe only a few were made for the US military. Not sure who really used the XM152 in the USA, markings would...

RE: Addtl. Pics of M998 Were these pics taken recently? I was at TNJ's on Friday 9/12, and the back lot was almost empty of HMMWVs...

If only I had some spare money. :(

There is no official way to attach a towbar to a deuce bumper, the towbars are BII for wreckers only. nickd's setup is custom, and non-official. roger-wilco-66: sorry, you'd have to hit up nickd for more pics, this is the only one I have.

The above pics, however, just show a towbar strapped onto the front bumper. Here's a pic of nickd's towbar mounts....

I was reading DDoyle's book last night, and it had a small writeup of the early 5-ton cargo trucks. It mentioned that there were M41 cargos (which ran on super single 14.00x20s) and the M54 cargos (which ran on dually 11.00x20s). I have never seen an M41. How many of these were made? Are...

Don't worry guys. There's another -342 coming up on GL, and the good news is, IT'S HALF OFF! rofl

Huh, still marked as "federal property". You'll soon find this on GSA, if the condition it's in is any sign of how they take care of it.
