Any vehicle which will be registered up here first has to clear US Customs. Then it has to pass CDN Fed + Provincial inspections. This even applies to vehicles owned by US citizens who are up here on a work permit, and just want to bring their own vehicle up here to drive. If you omit any of the...

Check the air lines. Chock the truck, get into a position where you can safely listen for leaks, and have a helper initiate the engage procedure.

Self tapping metal screws with lock washers (Star type not split washer). I have seen some with brass screws, and some local unit mounted ones that were pop-riveted.

If there are any problems, the buyer just has to go through a broker who has a valid export liscence. No big deal, it just adds to the purchase cost. Check with the original seller, but with someone like Alfa, you should be good to go. BTW... The border crossing MUST have the paperwork 3 days...

You know that we are going to yell for a ton of pictures! Get your digital camera cranked up! We are wating!:drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool:

I won't be coming, but, a good friend, (and a new member) Col. John Carter CF. Ret., will be in the area, and would like to hook up with you lot if possible. He will be in a civvy camper van, and will pick your brains about the hobby. When he was still in the service, he helped with the...

Dang, Dude.... somebody stole your winch!

That's slick. I normally just use a metal ruler, apply gentle preassure, and put my left hand on the other side, to catch that blasted C clip!

Yup, I know them. They are just as cheap as the crew I work for. As was before, remember that your weapon was built by the lowest bidder. Unfoutunately, here in civvy land, we don't have the needed standard of MILSPEC. Oh well, a few more years and a good pension...

Just lurk and wait. Go to the Reference part of this site, and download the manuals. Please make sure to pay attention to the general Military Vehicle Operator manual. this will keep you busy for a bit, but it will ease your future travells...road trips...Whatever! Get one, learn it, know it...

We use something very much like that. We call it a Buffalo. I know that USA has many more than we do, but as a Mine Resistant tactical vehicle, C/W agile picker for mine clearing, thereof.... Not bad! I think that this was based on a South African design (or whatever name they now have), as long...

I'm going to tease you. Once the Canada Day festivities are over, I will post a couple of pics, of the restoration of the "Big Green Army Truck". This is before Leo became the owner, and I got lucky enough to be demoted to driver. We have done some really good work with that ancient beast. I...

As for the idea of using a propane cutting torch, well it's cheaper than Accetylene, but It does not burn as hot. If you get the right jets for your torch, you should be able do cut, but brazing would not work out that well. I am sure that a professional welder will chime in on this thread, and...

We have a load of them up here. They replaced the Iltis. As they are still somehat new, so we will not be selling any of them off, until we beat the ever living crap out of them. At that time, you can watch Crown Assets, for what is left, after my soldiers got to them!

As promised, here is the defence system for the White Rock City Hall. The last shot, is yours truly, shooting a line!

I just snapped a few pics and will post when I get home.

I think that the dual circuit was put on the A-3, and some rebuilt A-2. the TM for the 211 family is here on this site. With a single circuit braking system, just remember that one of the most esential pre-trip, and halt parade items is CHECK YOUR BRAKE FLUID! If it is less than before, you have...

I thought that we already established that one! Let me know when you are in town. I think that I just might be able to find a cold pint for you, at my Legion. Maybe even a short run in the M-135! If you want to see the club, Legion 118 Home Page Sorry to hijack your thread, Scott.

That looks real sweet, Scott. You are so lucky to have Dale, and the rest of the WA State Green Team, there to help and advise. I bet that you have the sweetest and freshest green beast at the PNW Rally. I can't make it this year, but I will try next year. Stan.
