Deuce model differences are prime content for a SS wiki. Didn't we have a fairly extensive wiki at one point?

You can save your messages in multiple formats for later reference. I dislike cleaning out my PMs and managing saved message files, but it's a small price to pay for everything this site provides. Storage for all these 1's and 0's costs money, and I'd rather that storage space get used for more...

Parts are supposed to be 80% interchangeable between the LMTV and MTV. GS.org says the Oshkosh contract was for about 12,000 FMTVs over five years. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/fmtv.htm I figured we're seeing more 1st generation LMTVs surplused out because they were...

Make sure you post the outcome when you get it diagnosed or fixed. Hope it's not serious.

The Northern Warfare Training Center at Fort Wainwright/Black Rapids Training Area in Alaska does still use them. 1/25 SBCT had quite a few as well when I left there in 2011. You can find them other places around the Army too. More than a couple have been surplused already. Search Small Unit...

At 75mph. :)

TA-1024's can signal each other. You can apply power to the circuit from one phone. Both phones will signal each other with a digital ring simply by lifting the handset.

That's a M1117 Armored Security Vehicle (ASV) made by Textron. It's still in service with the US Army. It does bear a striking resemblance to a CG V-100, I'm sure they share a common linage. The M1117 is probably something of a son, grandson, or nephew of the V-100.

Just a reminder, post your photos up on the multimedia thread!

Got a few photos during a trail ride with Squirt-Truck, Fifty, and Dumpster. Squirt-truck's M37 and Fifty's M38 were in front of me so I snapped a couple of photos while I was driving. I don't know who had the little truck strapped down on the trailer but it made me laugh. Nice rig! The other...

I could only stop by for a few hours, but I had a great time today. Everyone was gracious and friendly as always. Thanks all for another spectacular Georgia Rally!

Welcome from Augusta, GA! Always good to see other members in Michigan, I'm from Milan, Michigan. Hope to move back to the area some day.

I'm headed in from Augusta in the morning! With everything that was going this week I didn't think I was going to make it, but the trailer is ready, I'll roll on the M38 in the morning and hopefully be on the road by about 0730.

We won't see MRAPs or armored FMTVs for sale. As a rule, Uncle doesn't sell his old armored vehicles to the public.

Pc, I never got a bite on fiberglass troopseat transport so disregard that deal.

Great memory. Page 345. It does look like a variation, but it's listed as a XM782 as tested at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. Technical details are unavailable, but it could be just an M109 with outboard brakes and super singles. The front clip is not the same as the XM778.

Fred Crimson's U.S. Military Wheeled Vehicles has one paragraph on page 347 about the XM778. It was built by White as a potential replacement for the "Reo" (M44) 2.5 ton trucks and tested at Yuma Proving Grounds in 1967 as part of a "Quality Assurance Test". The truck is described as having a...

Pc, I posted in the transportation needs. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?145713-Deuce-racks-seats-from-FL-to-Augusta-or-GA-rally&p=1780043#post1780043

Anyone coming up from Bradenton, FL to the Georgia rally or Augusta, GA area? Pctrans has a set I'd like to get north.

Awesome. Nobody want to part with one, I'm in if you have one. Thanks!
