This is good news, I've been living in Kansas for several years and haven't heard of this. 35 years old or less is peculiar, must be due to vehicles older than 35 years being covered under an antique vehicles law. Hopefully there isn't a crippling tax like with normal vehicles. I've been an...

All, thanks for the responses. I used terms suggested by 98G and found an Old Dominion terminal near me. Looks like their terminal could be the solution. I also found that using the term LTL for less than a load helps too. I’ve inquired with Fastenal in the past, not all stores are part of...

I’d like to get a replacement M416 floor and after talking with the dealer, the only economical way to ship is as freight to a business. I don’t have a business and I’m unfamiliar with shipping something as freight. I’m looking for more knowledge on how to search for a reputable freight...

Very cool motorcycle. Glad to see it’s in good hands and will be maintained in Dave’s memory.

Welcome to steelsoldiers from just north of the KC area. It’s always good news when another green iron enthusiast finds us.

I put white LED lights in my IR housings and mounted them on the grille. I considered fender mounts, but went with this so I didn’t have to source another set of flat top light guards to match the turn signals.

He has replied to me in the past. I think his channel is small enough that he still reads comments. It looks he doesnt have a crew yet like some of the other celebrity utoobers. I like what Matt does and how he comes across in his videos, seems like a genuinely good guy that would fit in with...

Good point on the scuffed, bright corners. Yours looks real. Looks like it’s all metal too. What brand airsoft is that?

What are you trying to represent? A Barrett is a specialty weapon that isn’t all that common. Whereas SAWs are widely used by the US military, present in many types of formations. I’ve seen a lot SAWs on various vehicle mounts or tripods, Barretts are just not as common. I’ve seen more in...

Drone didn’t replace UA, UAV or UAS. Those are still proper terms. Drone is slang or just a general name for when someone chooses to use a less descriptive term. It’s been popularized by the media so it seems more common than it used to be.

USAA would not insure a deuce when I asked. I tried with them when I lived in GA, then again in KS. Something about how their underwriter considers it a commercial vehicle no matter how it’s registered. Mine was registered as a pickup in Alaska. Their threshold for commercial vehicles is...

It’d be great to see someone restore their era-correct vehicle with Dueler-dots camouflage. Dual Texture Gradient pattern was ahead of its time and would look right at home on a modern military vehicle in service today.

Nice work. Super cool rare trailer. What’s the rounded cover thing on the front of the trailer bed?

$118 is definitely a steal. That’s less than a replacement lunette for cut up trailers people are asking $900+ for $750 is an excellent price, even more so for an A1 with a surge brake. A1s are fairly scarce. I picked up a M416 last weekend that was in better condition than the one I already...

Great work John. I really enjoy seeing your original idea get closer to fruition. I’m reminded of another vintage MV electric conversion I read about awhile back. Unfortunately the site I had bookmarked no longer exists, but here’s a brief write-up of M38 Mike’s Electro-Willys. I can’t recall...

That’s just in US service. The base model M113 entered service in 1961. If all goes to the current plan it will be in service for 89 years.

The M113A3 has been around since 1987 and will remain in service until 2050.

Either they removed the handcrafted mahogany boxes from the plywood creates or somebody just fat-fingered the original price. 🤔

Well, It sounds like they were not demilled after all. Glad to hear the taxpayers are getting their money’s worth out of those trailers.
