I can't believe that this is happening in the land of the "Free" Up here just get your Classic or Antique plates and you're good to go. Different cities have different regs about storage, but, wow, North of the border seems way less regulated. We just have a problem with guns , or the lack...

IHC has a trail vehicle that they are hoping to get a contract with. Some one here may have the link.

Welcome from Canada!

I was parked in line up, waiting for a Santa Claus parade to begin. A red Serge Mountie, walked up alongside, reached up and tapped on my window. "Can I see your drivers licence and registration, Sir?" I replyed, "No problem... Do you want to see my DND 404s? (CF drivers permit) It's retired...

Gotta be the ring mount. Our M-135 has a similar thing. I will talk to a couple of vets who went through the CF M-135 Veh Tech course and get back to you as soon as possible. If someone smarter than me can answer faster, I would appreciate it! I normally just clamp a flag there, but it is...

OK, here is how we handled this problem. Even though my neighbours know that I am crazy, unless I coax the men into buying big green things , We are cool. Up here, RVs and antiques are allowed to be parked in the rear driveway of your house. We ebmbarked on a PR campaign which established the...

Time for the tin foil hat. Where is the mother ship? Credible journalism gives sources. There are opportunities to check allegations! The speculations have been marvellous, but I would expect to find this on a Sci-Fi site. Yes, we do have underground installations. This is not one! The...

Around here, the cops only come by to check out the cool Big Green thing. As long as I don't do anyting stupid, they're cool with me. And this is in a country where you have to register your shot gun!

BBQ paint works great. We re-apply every fall, cause that dag thing gets real hot! Having it sealed before the monsoons come in is a bonus.

Normally NAPA is great. My wife used to work there, but butted heads with a goofball manager. Career change. Most of the people there are fantastic. If you find someone who acts like a longterm GL employee, call back, and get somebody smarter. They have access to some of the best parts. If you...

Pic1 Front Pic2 Back Pic3 My cheering section..... Who needs an Air Horn! Pic4 Measure clearances in feet.... Overpasses marked in mettric. TWANG! Yup I feel dumb! Oh well no harm done and lesson learned!

Here we go. To every athelete and every spectator, thanks for visiting my little town. No beers were harmed in the decoration of the truck... they were just emptied. I will also post a link to a U-tube of our little town, if you don't know it. truck back and front pics, my cheerleading section...

Up here they could not give a rat's anus, unless a proper loss report was filed. At that time the matcheads, MIGHT action the complaint, but only if sufficient leverage was applied. Not being an "A" class item, it gets low priority, unless a ranking officer has his butt in a sling for...

If somebody could, I would like to see a pic or 2 of the convoy light post, so I can fab one for the M-135. Much apreciated. Dimensions would help too!

Nice. You got some work to do, but you're off to a good start. As for the bed paulin cover, rubberized is the only way to go. Check the classifieds here, and make sure to download the TMs for your truck. I would also highly recommend a hard copy (Which can be got on E-Pay) as laptop confusers...

This is why we kept our old Iltis "trucks" they were perfect for narrow streets but had blow all armor. Great for patrolling, but a deathtrap when IED's were involved.

To find Yanmar parts, look for a marine supply shop. Up here they stock most things, and being in the supply chain, they can order whatever you need. My knucles are still bleeding from that Yangmar 2 lung beast that live on the sailboat! I got smart and skippered a 34' Hatteras with 2x Cummins...

It really sounds like you did everything in your power to prepare for this adventure. Glitches happen. In staff college, we were told that "No battle plan has ever successfully survived combat." This is true. Adapt and overcome. It is a real pain to have to rely upon the kindness of strangers...

To find used ones, look up Truck Trader / Heavy Equipment trader (Canada). We use a bunch of them in our northern oilfeilds and they quite often come up for sale. The pristine ones get grabbed to go to work, but if you are willng to play with one with exprience, they always come up for sale at...
