    Receiver Hitch

    VERY Nice! I like the use of the Pintle Hitch as a mount point. It appears that the bar captured in the Pintle is a rather smaller diameter than the jaw of the Pintle. How much "slop" is there?? Thanks. John

    Latest Find: Half Track

    Thanks for pointing that out. CORRECT ANSWER:72 YEARS!!! I'm not so sure it was my "math" that was off or if it was my "fat fingers" and failure to proofread. In either case, I'm glad you caught the error.

    ROLL CALL: "West Texas Detachment" Identify Yourselves, Please.

    Awesome. Thanks for your initiative on socializing this collective group. Let us know the date and place and I'll my best to be there. I might not bring an MV, but the MVer's are just as interesting. A chance to meet folks face-to-face.

    LOUISIANA PROPOSED NEW LAW : HB 549 Provides for Military Surplus Motor Vehicles

    Very enthusiastically I render my APPLAUSE & SALUTE to ALL who have helped change the course of history today.

    LOUISIANA PROPOSED NEW LAW : HB 549 Provides for Military Surplus Motor Vehicles

    Roger that. Seems someone was attempting to exercise control in a way that circumvented the established system of compliance. ONLY where warranted do the Feds permit the States to restrict slower moving vehicles by posting a Minimum Speed Limit. Otherwise, virtually ALL semi-trucks (etc.)...

    LOUISIANA PROPOSED NEW LAW : HB 549 Provides for Military Surplus Motor Vehicles

    I remained silent when I read this part in the early posts to this thread. For some background: I am the OP of the Texas FMV LAWS Thread. I have over the years become VERY familiar with BOTH the Texas jusrisdictional motor vehicle laws AND the Federal Government's purview over our National...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    With all due respect, Sir, this photo shows BRUSH GUARDING - NOT rollover protection! Brush Fire Trucks regularly navigate through BRUSH (Imagine that!) and tree branches. The CAGE pictured is not of adequate structural strength to protect the occupants of the vehicle if overturned. It will...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Ah, a roll cage on a Deuce! A noble ambition. To accomplish this objective really depends on your intent. 1. Do you want it to "look" rough and tough?; or, 2. Do you want it to REALLY be able to protect the occupants from a rollover accident? If, #1, then just have a ball winging it...

    Saving a couple OH-58's

    Looking forward to future installments. Thank you for your timely and "juicy" update. By the way... I like your recovery vehicle and trailer combination. For the weight of the treasure booty your snagged it's quite a "pirate ship".
