Speechless over here. Wow.

You’re coming here instead of working with law enforcement and/or insurance? :unsure: The police— or even a private entity such as the insurance company fraud unit or a PI— can find the info on one of many databases such as Clear or Accurint. Those are the two I used when I was a fed. The long...

Do you have the registration number? Any bumper markings remaining or hidden under paint?

Welcome to SS! I’m located at the Chittenden/Addison county line.

HHC 1/181Infantry, MA Army National Guard, circa 1998…had the very last of the unit’s stakeback/troop seated M1008s heading to auction. Heading back from the DRMO yard (saved the best ones for last!) and I tilted the seat forward to find a bunch of new in the bag ECWCS parkas and some MREs. LT...

So absolutely hideously ugly that I’m completely head over heels in love with it!! Thanks for sharing!

This whole thread will probably be like this, back and forth with pros and cons, so here’s my input… …I’ve loaded vehicles with different brands of dryer sheets and the mice have taken the sheets and loved them so much that they made nests with them.

Definitely similar to trailers shown here.

I wouldn’t muddy the waters by getting into any further detail beyond “it’s a 1984 K5 Blazer, J code diesel”. That’s all a competent parts counter person needs to hear to help you. I’ve sent my wife to get parts on more than one occasion and that works for her. Starting down the path of...

Operationally as intended, or owning for a hobby? In a combat theater, each has its own function and the two are vastly different. For the hobbyist, unless you possess the tools, knowledge, time, money, and space, an IFV is almost certainly a better choice than a tank. Transport logistics...

Another successful driveway plowing; thought I’d share a shot of the chains I’m using;

I have the first type for my M1009– never been stuck, what more can I say! Total and complete confidence when driving with them. But the experience itself, along with knowing how/when to adjust chains, have a learning curve.

I’ll try to keep this as brief as possible. I have firsthand experience with this exact situation. Quick answer: In this application, the MT1000 is best suited for experimenting only. It will work, some of the time, at very close distances. It should never be relied upon for two way...
