Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Same color and same year model as my other machine. Who knows, they could have been twins in the production lineCongratulations! Seems like you, too, find them somewhat addictive.
Picked up my newly acquired SEE yesterday, and after going through the truck was pleasantly surprised to find (22) 30 round M16 magazines and a couple pair of new WileyX ballistic sunglasses under the passenger seat. Always nice to get a bonus gift.

One of several reasons I don't live in CAL, we decorate our Xmas tress with them here in OKYou're lucky.
Just imagine if you'd lived in California. If so, you could've ended up in jail for possession of contraband.
Although, the sunglasses might still be legal, even there.
And one of several I moved out of there. It's still legal do do so, but who knows for how long that'll last?One of several reasons I don't live in CAL
Props to you General Hood!
And BTW, what a great community, awesome folks, and wealth of information! And yes, yes, pics and all that stuff will come when I get them!
Both my units came out of Texarkana, 6 months apart. First one had vines grown up and over the engine and into the cab. Second one had varmint nests in the heater, and under the hood. Found some chewed wires but were an easy fix. Had to break out the super orange cleaner in spray bottle, as a MV is just not supposed to smell like rat excrement . Red River Army Depot is aka Red River Rat DepotRE the wiring issue, this is pretty interesting that there are enough of us folks with munched harnesses that we need a support group . I am curious if the damage is localized to vehicles that resided in Texas or did Mercedes just put some special sauce on the harness behind the dash?
My SEE was purchased from a depot in VA and then shipped to Texas and left out on a farm for some period of time before it headed north to NH. I didn't realize it but the harness was most likely munched before shipment. It sat through a -30 degree F winter outdoors so I assumed that whatever had been living in it in Texas was frozen stiff after a winter up here. Its pretty rare to hear of gnawed harnesses up north although I have heard that woodchucks do it on occasion.
Good luck and maybe my messy notes I posted previously may be of help.
And Gadget, keep your spirits up and you'll get your SEE working just fine. Bleeding a bit in the process is helpful, too, as you automatically lower your blood pressure when bleeding.
