Assuming goal is to improve the breathing (performance +) of an M813 series and to eliminate the fender mounted air filter assembly, what advice or parts might be recommended.
Depends on the base (what they do there) and DHS alert level. Visited Rock Island Arsenal Monday and only needed IB/drivers license this time.
FYI a bunch over VERY nice 3/4t trailers coming up in gov't liq mid Apr @ RI. Back from Iraq, went thru TI/repair at RI and issued to NG units who...

auction for 11ea 10x20 tires look to have decent tread. Located Hollomon AFB, NM. Might be acceptable if price is right.
Anyone planning a trip to the Eglin AFB DRMO/govliq site in the next couple of days? Looking for someone that could take a look at a item for my fire dept at Govliq. We're in Iowa so not so convient to drop in.
Take a look at the M796 Bolster trailer. 4t capacity (offroad) and not as high or heavy as the flatbeds mentioned above. The M796 weighs 4820lb empty. The flatbeds are 5500lb and up.

Uhh yeah. FEPP is the system for FD - Thru US Forester to State Forester on loan to FD. Only cost is transport, which in itself is a big hurdle. New change, just now going into effect, is FD can requet at DOD level. About damn time. The police have been abusing/stealing the system blind for...
I have not seen it discussed here but BIG changes in progress in the mil surplus system. DRMS is going thru a reorg and closing most of the DRMOs. Will only be about a dozen left.
As I understand it, all the surplus will be trucked from turnin units to the remaining DRMOs (as now) but...
