    M1075 Did you shorten that HEMMT tank or run it partially full? 2500gal a big load on a 5t. We're just starting to strip the CARC on our HEMMT tank. Hopefully will get truck fabbed up overy the summer. Didn't get much done last winter on our tanker as the Chief bought himself a personal CJ2...

    Help near Ft. Polk

    Be advised. These are large (and hopefully frames are in crates or you'll probably be missing purlins). I can get size info off crates if you need it. There has been tons of this stuff at Norfolk area over the last couple of years. I'd advise not jumping on something a thousand miles away...

    (pics add)U.S. G.I. Light Weight Expandable Maintenance Tent

    The TM is next worthless due to poor quality. Master must have been lost in time and printed from a 5th generation repro. Photos are mostly illegible. There is an instruction panel sewn to the inside of each panel. Marginally helpful. Search on Maintenance tent. I put one up last summer...

    Some Pics from Iraq

    My understanding is that DOD policy, for some time, has been that no M35 series are to be deployed to Iraq/Afgan. They are going out of the inventory quickly, lots listed at DRMS.

    2330-01-212-2187 TRAILER,TANK TM needed

    Got ahold of ISOMETRICS INC. They claim they didn't build this unit. So either the AF reused the NSN with new mfg or wrong NSN.

    2330-01-212-2187 TRAILER,TANK TM needed

    DRMS listing. I don't have a TM # just NSN. NSN links to correct detail info page. Certainly a low density item. I suspect may be AF only item. NIIN 012122187: TRAILER,TANK BODY MATERIAL: ALUMINUM COMPARTMENT QUANTITY: 1 LIQUID CAPACITY: 600.0 GALLONS DRMS/DRMO Added Information...

    Demil status changed to C

    RE: tos Govliq doesn't require this stuff. govliq just a mindless, marginally competent auction house. Written by DOD to comply with laws passed by congress. Why? Because milspec equipment has, or is, ending up in the hands of EMEMIES of the United States. Yeah duece, what is that an...

    M52A2 and M127 with XM10 Water Distributor Module

    What is the NSN on that unit? Every 6/12t mil semi trailer I've ever seen set nose high behind a 5t (stake, tank, box). Original designed for a 1940s vintage duece. The triaxle stake sit level behind a 5t.

    My new bolster trailer pics.

    Great trailers. Intended for hauling poles (electric, commo, pilings) or pipe. MANY were, or are, used as fuel trailers with a 600gal pod. In mid 80s I had a Inf Bn Support Plt. The TPUs (3ea M923A1) had 2x diesel pods ea and towed a bolster trailer with a pod of mogas (for the gensets...

    Ethiopia thumping Somolia Islamists

    Conflict heating up with Ethiopian attacks on the Somolias. Chicom 37mm AA SP. Something looks familiar about the truck? Perhaps needs some work.

    Stripping CARC SS

    Picked up a can of this KS. It does work on CARC. Going to be a long project though. Our CARC is in very good condition. Not getting much blistering but after 15min scrapes off fairly well with a putty knife. Looks like the problem is going to be the grey primer. Does not want to...

    4HN batteries
