    Fast Attack Vehicle quick article

    That War is Boring "facts" are certainly weak on the timeline. Needs to do some actual research. The FAV were widely in use with 9ID until at least 1988 +/_ . Every Bn Scout Plt had FAV(approx. 8) even after the fielding of the M998. That was 9x Rifle Bn in the line Bde and 1 (or perhaps was...

    Any advice where to locate a surplus 6CTA8.3 new/rebuild? Many on govliquidation but all look to be pulled so likely needing need rebuild. Local FD has an engine with a 6CTA8.3 with a trashed block. They have no $ to go down to Cummins to buy a rebuild.

    One M911 and one M1070. Local high voltage tower project Last week. Water trucks - I assume for dust control on their tank trails. The M911 tank says 7000gal on it. That would make something like 90000lb loaded. M911 has Wyoming license plate. Not sure how you get a plate for a 113" wide...

    LME maintenance tent erection

    A helpful hint for future fearless. To pull the grommets in canvas over the large pins use flat jaw welding "visegrips" to grab the canvas. As at http://www.harborfreight.com/2-piece-welding-and-sheet-metal-clamp-set-30024.html Worked slick, spread out the "grab" area and the shape of the...

    Ideas for a suitable S280 hauler?

    Think about it. M720 has about a 6ft wheelbase when bare. How do you think going to handle? Put a shelter/load in the middle of the two sections (as designed) and handles fine. ote that the large dollys tow great at 60mph even bare.

    Can I ask a question about an auction that ended earlier this evening

    WHY is DOD getting rid of all these MEP802/803? Even if Obuma is intent on closing down the Army, these are late model (and many low hours). What idiot doesn't stick them in a warehouse until we need them (sooner than later). Or is SAM buying portable hydrogen power cells, solar panels and...
