    Recap on "cold weather starting"

    I am not fond of block heaters as such as they need to be plugged in to an outlet to work. On the other hand I am loving the Edelbrächer engine heaters with timers. They will basically run off your fuel tank and keep your engine block warm and make sure your oil, coolant etc is up to operating...

    M923A2 Crawler? Costa Rica

    The Mog is actually british made and designed, and then Mercedes bought the "design" and started producing them.

    I thought I knew how to drive a tank!

    The Chieftain MBT is a PITA to drive, it has a manual "crash" transmission, meaning no syncromesh. So you have to double declutch in order to operate it as well as match the revs etc. Even skilled and experienced drivers tend to struggle with the gearbox of that particular tank so I am not...

    MTV door handle

    DSD277, I have a slam lock that can't open on itself unless you pull the handle from the outside. And I live in europe in case anyone needs me to dig around these parts for stuff :P

    Brand New MRAPS Being Scrapped - A Sad Day

    There is a storage yard down south east of here with several hundreds of brand new MRAP's simply waiting to either get deployed to new postings or to replace ones broken or destroyed in battle.

    Are parts of the future MV hobby dying?

    I live in denmark and I am pretty sure Gamma Goats etc are NOT legal here :P. A Scammell would be classed as a truck here as it weighs in over 3,500 kilos. And the Gamma Goat, isn't that partly a "forklift" with forks or is it me that remembers wrong. Here its 16 or so for Tractors and small...

    M35A2 Winch Operations

    hndrsonj, do you have the number for it?. And I mean I can read it, but I have to zoom on the image and it then quickly gets rather grainy...

    M35A2 Winch Operations

    Any chance of a higher quality scan of those pages. They are rather hard to read on a larger screen.

    Abbot Tank In Canada

    The abbott is not a tank but a SPG as far as I am informed :P

    Are parts of the future MV hobby dying?

    Having sat in the drivers seat of an MRAP I can't imagine why anyone would want one. Your view out the front windows are virtually non existant and you can't see out over the bonnet for life of you. If you wanted to own one you would need to clad it in camera's all around to even have a chance...

    new locking door handles installed

    Those look great, and I have a set tucked away from Caliber for when I find a truck work going for :P. But I just wish I could find a doorhandle solution that would allow me to use the same Abloy key that I have get setup for the locks for the stowaway rooms when I get a truck. But I guess I...

    Off Road Lighting

    If I ever got myself one of these kinds of trucks, I would make sure to install running lights as well :P. Sadly I can't install blue flashers, or well I technically can, but I am not allowed to use it. But I plan on doing Orange ones so that people can see the truck if I am parked up at the...

    Question about steering wheels on the M35?

    Technically speaking there should be no real issue with putting a smaller steering wheel in an M35. You might just experience leverage issues when turning since the M35 has no servo assisted steering straight from the factory. You might want to look into the Air-Assist kit which adds air...

    Locking Differential

    So basically a power divider is just another fancy word for "diff locker". Since that description fits diff lockers as well. Or am I am completely off the board?

    Here we go again with the H.O.A

    Here HOA's are not as strict on what you drive and park as long as your garden doesn't look like a scrappers paradise.... The "only" things they regulate is what colours your house/fence might have etc, but for the cost of your membership you generally get some services included like...

    M35a2 newbie info

    So how much did you have to fork up for it?. When I eventually will go looking for a Deuce and a half I hope to get one similar to yours. M35A2C hopefully with a winch in my case or I will have to fab up a hydraulic version.

    931A2 Recovery

    I don't honestly think that woman looks so bad from the rear. But then again easy to get a nasty surprise when they turn around :P

    Met a fellow SS-er today on a traffic stop

    If I had a MV I would not mind to be stopped for a chat and etc by different LEO's. But being stopped by the same one again and again for various causes I would take offence to :P. When I was driving a cab we got pulled over regularly by the same cop for running blue lights inside and he claimed...
