They are.

I washed it! Looked almost like a new paint job. I should have taken a before picture. It's been parked under a large pine tree so it was all streaked with yellow pollen. It looked horrible.

We need more info on your Diesel M38a1! Got a build thread and photos?

Sure, except both terms are now used interchangeably. I'm not an Afghani, so I'm fine with using the term Afghani to refer to Afghanis. Afghani A citizen or native of Afghanistan. From an Afghan point of view this name is wrongly being used for Afghans. After the Soviet invasion of...

I wonder who sent that M1009 over there. When I went in '05 we had very tight restrictions on which vehicles we could send from USAREUR. It cost a lot more to ship a vehicle to A-stan than Iraq. The sad fact is, unless someone goes to a lot of trouble to get that M1009 back to the US, it'll...

That 97K HMMWV included the shelter with ECU/NBC overpressure and onboard generator. I wonder who purchased that one. Some hobbyists have deep pockets, but :shock:. If I was going to spend that on a wheeled non-armored vehicle it better make me some $$.

Most of those things haven't been secrets for quite awhile. The things we want to remain secret are generally excluded in the export versions. Egypt made 1000+ M1 tanks under license, so foreign governments have access.

The CUCVs I've seen in use over the last few years belong to garrison activities such as DPW or DOL. I haven't seen one with a unit in a long time. There are still two deuces in a motor pool I drive past every day. Unfortunately they haven't moved an inch since at least June 2011 when I first...

Also search for "common sense" fasteners. Most I've seen are metal. I think brass is the usual material. http://www.dotfasteners.com/common_sense.html

Reckless's connection is Leadfoot Trucking. The owner didn't make good on his word to me. His price was average, but I won't use that company again. Nice guy to talk to, but I was not satisfied with his service. Your milage may vary, but I don't recommend him.

My deuce had the exact same symptoms when I switched first to LED taillights, then to LED front markers. I changed the flasher control module to a more modern version and it fixed the problem. I don't recall what the flasher box looks like on a HMMWV or 939 5 ton, but the module for a 809 5 ton...

Several members have considered the idea. For road use the consensus is pinion brakes do not provide anywhere near adequate braking. You can possible augment your existing brakes with a pinion brake, or just add disc type parking brake to the pinion. For a large truck like a deuce using only a...

Wow, I hate hearing about this type of misfortune. Unfortunately these types of things are rarely "accidental". They're usually negligent, or at the very least, just unintentional. JS, we look forward to your AAR. Perhaps we can all learn something from your mistake. Until then I wish you a...

MI was happy to register a M813 as a pickup for me. What's the problem? USAA doesn't like 3 axles, but progressive insured with a commercial policy. Sure it costs more than you want to pay, but they insured with very few questions. Calm down and work through the problems.

FOV = Family of Vehicles

That's amazing you were able to track them down. If it had been an active Army unit that would have been far more difficult. Very cool thing you did there clayne.

I have no idea what a transfer is worth. However, I sold my loose takeout sliding around in the back of the truck unknown working condition deuce Spicer 3053 transmission for $100 a couple of year ago. I think the buyer liked the price and I didn't want to lug it around anymore, so it was...

Very cool looking rail around the top of the cab. Nice work, how did you attach the rail?

So that crane-truck seems to be making her rounds amongst GA steelsoldiers. Can I have a turn? :) Great looking truck, and the type looks to be incredibly useful. I'd have to lift things just for fun.

Nope. We gave them cage/standoff armor too. They probably just didn't understand it would save their lives so they took it off. Or they took it off to sell it. Iraqis tore up a lot of their nice stuff.
