    HMMWV's for sale, no longer maybe, it happened

    December 10th, 2014. The results of any sales will be interesting, to be sure. I am probably one of the few on here who is not mesmerized by the HMMWV, but so be it. Even the off road variants will keep their owners looking for repair parts, and that may prove to be the fly in the ointment long...

    New guy with M35A2C

    December 6th, 2014. If you absolutely, positively have to have an M35A that will put everyone in the room in envy, ALWAYS get a USAF truck......[thumbzup]

    Jeep "Commando" in Army Service

    October 31st, 2014. A perfect Halloween vehicle, a Franken-Commando! A friend of mine had one non-military, and it had to be the sorriest vehicle on the trails and an absolute wonder to get parts for! It was like a Wheeling hooker, everybody had a piece of it in the assembly line, and as to...

    I Want the big tires

    October 31st, 2014. You will find that if you use larger tires on your M38A, you will get more road speed, but much less ability to climb hills or get out of mudholes. This is based on experience with the larger trucks and the results are not always what you expect, particularly if you live in...

    1953 M38A1 Barn Find

    October 31st, 2014. The best way to free the engine up is to pull the head, and the crankcase pan, and squirt everything with Automatic Transmission Fluid. Then gently tap on the pistons with an oak 4"X4"every day. Sooner or later it will break free and then disassemble and then overhaul. I did...

    Untouchable Guntruck

    September 18th, 2014. Why, boys, you could buy and keep any of that hardware on the "Untouchable", provided you have a unblemished record, lots of money, some serious gun safes and lots of money, did I say "lots of money"? Unless of course you live in California, Chicago, or D.C.. In some cites...

    Driving through Central America

    September 18th, 2014. As always, an interesting thread, though I might disagree on the compliance with the EUC, because functionally the truck ended up outside US ownership without State or Defense Department clearance. I just hope ISIS doesn't get ahold of a couple of these for bombs or...

    IronPlanet.com Selling Military Rolling Stock SOON!

    August 20th, 2014. Let's hope that the process becomes, shall we say, less tiresome. But I will sit back and wait, because depending on my next posting the mods are either going to be adding an Army/Navy vessel forum, or a Railroad Forum...Just Saying....:idea:

    Purchased Air Raid Siren

    August 18th, 2014. Hope the OP doesn't live in an HOA, I'm not sure too many neighbors are going to really appreciate it when he fires that little toy up!:whistle:

    NJ seeks to ban MV's in state forests

    July 24th, 2014. Posts 53 & 58, Thanks. This is a subject that does need dredged up every now and then to allow the idea, and the subject to be examined and discussed by members who may not have seen the original posts. It is a subject Germaine to our hobby, and to the public perception of us...

    NJ seeks to ban MV's in state forests

    August 5th, 2012. (Reprised July 23rd, 2014) Beyond getting perilously close to "political speech", I can see you fellows in NJ have a problem. The problem is that too many unthinking people are damaging the State forests and parks with off road vehicles of every type, and so an administrative...

    Code Enforcement Threat

    July 23rd, 2014. No disrespect here boys, but the Texas of the old west is just underlaid under the New Texas of the new west. So many people have moved there from elsewhere, and they tend to congregate in the bigger cities, so guess what? They bring their old ideas to their new residences...

    Amazing! Ever notice how many threads are locked in this Forum?

    July 21st, 2014. Thank you again for a good point Mr. Bradley as to the difference between speculative reasoning and true knowledge, there is a considerable difference between the two. I prefer Occam's Razor, inasmuch as when you pare aware all of that which is not the truth, what...

    Army Base Closings, now to 2020

    July 1st, 2014. Thank you SCSG-G4, this little enclosure is going to be quite the bedside reading, and as I work for the NPS, the section on Fort Monroe should be most interesting. Just as a guesstimate, does anyone on here want to bet that if you did print out all these sections on paper, you...

    M35A2 Soft Top Conversion

    July 1st, 2014. My m35A2 in the icon originally came with a hard top, which I kept, but I did replace it with a new GMA soft top and used bows. The result was a warmer top in the winter (the truck had no cab heater) and much cooler in the summer. I prefer the 686A tan top on a tan truck, but I...

    What to look for in a salvage yard but not want to find

    July 1st, 2014. The man who says that man is often the aggressor in regards to snakes, has never been caught switching a railroad train where there are copperheads.... The copperhead will lay curled up under the switch machine, and the minute you unlock the lever, you usually have a mad snake...
