Hello Team, On Aug. 24 at 1800, there will be a Military Appreciation Parade in downtown Tacoma. they called me again this morning wanting MV's, people in vintage uniform, and anything else we can supply to help honor Veteran's and current military. Lineup will probably be about 1400 and there...

Thank you for the information on this. Am just starting the research on the same topic and truck. I do know the number on the engine tag and on my truck the engine is an 08/06, which means that I couldn't license it as a historic vehicle for about 23 years. If I can get it back to an 84 or...

If is was somewhere between 1100 and 1500, it was probably me. I made various stops along the way. It has multiple MWO tags dating 06 and 10, and it looks like the engine was manufactured in 08/06. the last oil change was 2010 and they put 1000 miles on it since then according to the numbers...

M923 recovery So I broke down and joined the M923 club yesterday. Picked up a Desert at JBLM. It was dirty, low on tire air, all fluids seemed to be in proper ranges, it started right up. Took it off post at Dupont gate for some more fuel and headed for Les Swab at Hawks Pararie for some more...

take a look on the DMV WA webpage. There is a chart of Weight fee, not the commercial tonnage fees, and it looks to me that your basic fee for weight would be 155 plus 30. You are probably going to pay an inspection fee for a first time license and I am sure they can tack on a couple more...

On the M54 they were going to ding me for tonnage, then I asked the question that I thought there was no tonnage on historic vehicles and the lady said, I think you are right and so no charge for that. But I have also paid one year before on another truck. Take a hard look at the historic...

Did you guys see what that M923A2 with the MRAP training body went for on GL? 99,500! Mike you better keep working on that truck. :)

I counted 35, plus trailers at the display and parade. Never did do a real count at Aaron's, but would estimate, plus or minus 45. P

Mvpa 2 Here is the second batch. One very interesting notable, which I did not get a good photo of, was Gama Goat number 1. It was a beauty. Note the 3/4 ton Chaplain's trailer. this event had 8 operational DUKW's in attendance and they put them in the river for rides.

MVPA Pics Here are a few other pictures of the event. Mostly these were taken to get an idea of the scope of vehicles that were present.

Napavine Here are a couple of Pics of Coug's truck in action. Great job and great looking truck.

Napavine 3 I tried to not duplicate pictures but you will see some variations of the same vehicle. It isn't too often that you see an expansible van going down the street with its sides out. This will be the last batch of pictures from me for this event. Check it out next year.

Napavine 3 3rd batch.

Napavine 2 Here is the second batch.

Napavine Parade display 2013 First off, if you haven't been to this event before and you wondered if you should, get there. Aaron and Amber are the best hosts that one could imagine for an event such as this. Not many of us have a place that we could host 40 or 50 MV's let alone make sure that...

Next years is Indiana and it sounds like they have some neat things planned for that.

Time to bump this. Convention is 25 - 27 at the Portland Expo Center. We moved in 9 vehicles today, including one M18 Tank Destroyer and an M3 Stuart. There are over 175 vehicles registered for this event. Plus over a couple hundred sales tables. See you there.

If you guys can give me a buzz when you are ready to pull out of exit 99 southbound, in case everyone is there and you go a few minutes early, 360 870 0706. James we expect anyone that wants to do the parade to do it and we will have a space for everyone that wants to pull in and show for a...

2nd batch Second batch.
