All kidding aside....
Last time I entered the 220KAK in the monthly MV competition, as I recall, I didn't even vote for my own MV.
However, this vote-by-mail concept means that this time I can vote for EVERYONE BUT ME.
What a concept ! ! !
(This is not a "political commentary" but is...
And another (partially) quoted Old Post.....

We had considered modifying the 220KAK into an "rolling palace" complete with windows, RV-type entry door(s), and all the comforts of a travel trailer. However, once we realized that we'd be butchering what may...
Another "Old Post Quote" for ya..........

Some additional photo album memories of readying the 220KAK for her recovery trip....
I had located some "new" wheels and tires. They had come of an M818 that had gotten larger "shoes" for playing in the mud. These tires...
Again, I quote from the campaign a couple of years ago......

220KAK 26' Box Van Trailer
This restoration is a work in progress.... Very, Very SLOW progress so far.
She's currently parked in our back yard in such a position that photos worthy...
The campaign signs have been printed.
The Radio and TV ads produced and queued up for broadcast.
The Tour Bus is serviced and fueled... Wish I had a USMC Cattle Car for the cross-country campaign stops. rofl
When are the televised candidate debates going to happen?
And what about the...

By wrapping your bagged pellets they will be less likely to be able to settle.
Also, if wrapped, even if your straps lose tension, your pallets of pellets would simply be two big blocks...
Drove one on a ranch in west Texas years ago. Fun, slow yet gutsy.
If registered in Texas as a Former Military Vehicle (see thread on Texas FMV LAWS linked in my signature block) overwidth is NOT a problem. HOWEVER, TxFMV registrations is for OCCASIONAL USE ONLY - not to be a DAILY DRIVER...
Ok, OK, O'KAY ! ! !

(Don't you just love the tease?)
But, I must admit, I don't have a lot of fresh campaign material to publish so I'm just...
I'm taking the lead from real-world politics... Teasing as to whether or not to throw its hat into the ring.
Maybe I should just wait and let it be a write-in candidate rofl
All kidding aside... I just need to MAKE the time to post up its nomination. But right now, I am rather busy restoring...
Spoken like a real trooper. Maybe a SERGEANT at that!
Now if I can only recall what month/year I entered our 220KAK 1960 vintage Box Van Trailer.... I might just re-nominate it this month.
Don't be discouraged, Soldier!
Peelin' taters may not look like you're fighting the war, but if it weren't for your spud-skinnin' those on the front line won't last long at all.
I applaud what by your efforts is a morale booster for our Membership. Yes, there are times that things get off to...
PB,
Is it ALIENS, or simply the overall climate of these times? (Political silence, Viral Lockdown, hermitage)
All kidding aside, I'm hoping to see some very worthy MV's posted by some of the best MV enthusiasts there are, on the most awesome MV website in the world.
Let the nominations BEGIN...
