    trying to figure out what usmc unit or where truck was

    My pictured truck above has all of the markings and the hood was clear. Below is the UIC on the hood. I was just noting that the truck coming out now have the numbers painted over. And yes you can sand to show them. I even used scotch brite to revival.

    WTH: White Wall tires on Taliban HMMWV?

    Elections have consequences... no matter who you vote for. All that equipment should have been brought back or destroyed. What really pisses me off and isn't reported on was all of the military dogs they left behind... I am sure they are being cared for (sarcasm)

    Electric AC?

    Can you link to an inverter that is 98% efficient? I like to know... I would think it would take at least 2% just to run the electronics... then at working temps...

    Ambulance rear doors

    I built mine and it was easier than I thought. I did look at Kevilar panels but didn't want to spend the $$$$ to build with. Other than being "tacticool" I don't foresee a need.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Replaced the u -joints on the front drive shaft. The TM makes this sound easy... I was cussing like a sailor trying to get the shaft out. Ended dropping the sway bar... took most of the day but all replaced.
