Another Anniversary, Another BUMP.
Although this thread was bumped at the beginning of the 2018 Hurricane Season, today is the 13th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's landfall. So, I'll bump it again.
There are many lessons to be learned in Sarge's Katrina experience. There is much for...
Indeed it would! And I favor the M275's for their multi-fuel power plants... But that's because we already have a spare Multi-Fuel still in the crate from a 1990's rebuild that came with our Deuce.
Although this tractor IS interesting, we have already acquired a 1969 vintage XM818 out of the...
Oh, my!
Often I have those BLOND MOMENTS and don't connect the dots to reach what SHOULD be obvious conclusions. (SIGH)
But alas! Eventually I get an epiphany and that light bulb atop my head shines brightly....
I may know this halftrack!!!
Did she for many years stand (literally on jack...
I noticed this vehicle has a single cab on its right side and a double cab on its left side.
What crew duties/positions?
Front: driver & co-driver; Rear: Commander/Crew Chief/Systems Operator (for multiple steering modes)?????
I'm sure that when deplored to the battlefield the multiple tasks...
Gottal luv when opportunity and preparedness meet like that.
Thanks for sharing your story!
I could almost hear the "SWOOOOOOP" sound of an eagle snatching it's prey.
Since you seem to be receiving citations from the City of Jupiter Code Enforcement, it's best you approach this in one of two ways:
1. Ask exactly to WHICH SPECIFIC Municipal Ordinance they assert you are in violation.
OR
2. Start researching your City Ordinances on you own... They are available...
Welcome aboard :grin: Find a bunk, stow your gear, and prepare to get underway :driver:
Congrats on your "new to you" Deuce!
Be careful though. They're kinda like Lays Potato Chips.... Bet you can (have) just one!
Welcome aboard :-D Find a bunk, stow your gear, and prepare to get underway :driver:
You may have joined to find some GenSets, but don't be surprised when you start finding trucks, parts, and awesome comrades too.
Again, WELCOME !!!
FWIW (For What It's Worth):
The internet's WIKI for HMMWV redirects to the HUMVEE WIKI webpage. Hence, Al Gore's internet seems to think that HMMWV and HUMVEE would be synonyms. This WIKI bears a note just below its title: "This article is about the military vehicle. For the civilian...
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 still had (and still have) the mold nubs on them. Got the full set of...
Well, as the 21st of the month slips away, I see our 220KAK has managed TWO votes! I am appreciative yet surprised. Others are more "beautiful", better restored, more "desirable" in the typical motor pool, and even currently operational. Yet we still have several weeks to see this poll to...
My jealousy is camo'd under a large puddle of DROOL !
Congrats on scoring what most of us only dream about.
PLEASE keep us posted on your restoration progress.
Carry on!
"No suck thing" ?!?!?....
Dude, vacuum hoses can be readily replaced! :shock:roflrofl:whistle:
But on a more serious note:
You're absolutely correct! For the dedicated preservationist, the is no SUCH thing as "too rough".
We have the technology. We can rebuild it...
Now THAT's a campaign strategy.... nothing short of "kissing babies" while stomping the campaign trail!!!
Can't say that's playin' dirty. Just taking note.
Maybe I should take some pics with our dogs and cats on and around the 220KAK... You know, play the PET CARD!
:jumpin:rofl:driver:
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 of posting are nearly impossible to be had. We have not done much toward her restoration yet as she's...
Rory,
You impress me! Not only do you know BOTH the Queen's English and American English languages, but now you've proven to us that you're equally fluent in CANINE ! ! !
WOOF WOOF, BOW WOW ! ! !
