    What year is it, REALLY?

    I wonder if the first series of numbers are the registration number, and the last numbers are the VIN. In that case, 200189 COULD BE your VIN.

    Educate me on the dump...the M929 / M930

    The bed is the same, but the cab protector is taller on the M929/M930 to clear the exhaust and air intake behind the cab. I've seen pics of an M929?M930 beds on M817s and you can see the difference.

    M-543 "The Ugly Duckling"

    Which transmission is in your truck, the overdrive transmission or the direct drive transmission? I had an M543A2 with the direct drive transmission and that truck pulled hard all the way to max speed, which was about 46 MPH. The OD tranny will give you more top speed, assuming you can get there.

    All Military Vehicles banned from road in Maryland

    Does anyone in MD know of any potentially sympathetic state legislators? It would be helpful if we could get out in front of this as opposed to reacting to an unfavorable bill.

    All Military Vehicles banned from road in Maryland

    Agreed. I think much of the troubles we are seeing across the country with titling of military vehicles can be traced back to the off-road use only HMMWVs.

    All Military Vehicles banned from road in Maryland

    The part that is clearly wrong is this: "Prior to the purchase of a military vehicle, each buyer is required to complete and sign the Federal Government DLA Form 1822, End-Use Certificate the form SF-97, which clearly indicates that the vehicles are intended for Off-Road Use Only." I was not...

    R.I.P. - Joe Young

    Joe is not forgotten! I think about him regularly, and for sure every time I look at the M151A2 in my garage. That was Joe's A2 that he restored. IN addition to that truck, I got my first three M35A2s from him, and he also helped me get into DRMS bidding. He also assisted me in recovering my...

    TWO M151 MUTTs! New to me...

    My brother was a new 2nd LT in the early 80s and his first assigned vehicle when he got to the 82nd AB was an M151A2. He did not like the truck as he said it was beat...and he said he really wanted a HMMWV that was just coming into use. With that said, he has driven my M151A2 and he loves it...

    MK31 Suspension

    Contact HALFTRACK in Metairie, LA. He is in the USMC Reserves, and I believe he is in a motor pool.

    Bombardier MLVW , anyone know these beasts ?

    Your M109A4 should have the dual circuit brake system. Also, it has other nice safety features like 3-point seat belts and a back up light. I don't have any input on registering it in Canada, though...but I would think you should be covered with the brakes.

    Handling heavy tires

    I have one of the military tire dollies. If someone wants it, make me an offer on it. I don't want to ship it...it is too big and bulky. PM me if interested.

    M1078 with 225hp and high speed gears: pro's and con's

    Will, can you post a link to your YOUTUBE page? I could not find it under your screen name. Is it under your eBay account name?

    Vehicle history of my 923a2

    Unless the paint is so pristine that you don't want to disturb it, you may have to lightly sand down the rear bumperettes or the front bumper on either side to find the markings. Unless the truck was sandblasted, they are there under many layers of paint. In fact, you may even be able to track...
