We will be there with our M923 again this year. Looking forward to it!

I got the missus making up a big bowl of her awesome pasta salad for lunch. We'll be on hand with a few people to man the troop seats, too. Didn't get time to wash the truck, so it's a little mossy. Runs good though, and we'll dress it up a bit anyway.

Summerfest in Centralia WA on the 4th. Display in Borst Park in the morning, parade in the afternoon. Info thread below: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?179364-Summerfest-Centralia-WA-July-4-2018

We'll be there again this year. Truck is a little rough from the winter, but it'll be there. What can we bring to help out?

We'll bring Elizabeth's famous pasta salad. That seems to be a hit with most crowds.

We're in again this year with the 904 truck. Let us know what we can bring to contribute to lunch. Looking forward to this!

I'm not sure anyone has posted about this already or not, but somebody (looks like in Germany) made a scale model of Soni's FEMTT. It's not 100% accurate, but it's pretty good. You can see some pictures of it here:http://www.hansebubeforum.de/showtopic.php?threadid=25114&pagenum=4#562174

Myself and the missus for sure, not sure on the rest. Last year it was just one extra, we were hoping for a full truck this year, five or six, but probably only three or four. As soon as I have a firm number, I'll let you know for sure. Also, let us know what we can bring to contribute to the...

I'm a little late to this thread, but we'll be there with our M923 again this year.

Is that a full floater rear axle under there? It's hard to tell for sure in those pictures, but I don't see the bearing housing and axle caps sticking out from the rear axle. I've never seen a semi-float 8-lug axle before, so maybe the pictures are misleading. Did you look at both axles and...

I'm not sure this counts as more than anecdotal evidence, but my high school metalworking and ag science department exclusively used US Army surplus Lincoln arc welders from the World War II era. They were obtained by the then-incumbent metalshop teacher (who was in his '60s at that time), and...

I'm going to chime in here a bit and point out that air disc brakes have been the dominant standard in most of Western Europe since the early 1990s, and there is a vast body of supporting evidence to support their superiority in every possible aspect. I remember wishing I had them on my truck...

For any vehicle driven daily, sure. For any vehicle driven regularly but not daily, then before every use. Or, for vehicles driven sparsely, performed at regularly scheduled maintenance and upkeep intervals, as well as before every use. However, I think I see where Artisan was going with this...

Sorry for the late reply. We had to make a last minute trip down to Portland this afternoon, didn't get back till just now. So no detailing or working on the truck for us. It'll have to make its appearance as-is. Thanks for the offer though. Looks like the Captain doesn't want to turn out for...

Pete, there will be three of us for sure in our M923, possibly four if we can get the Captain to come out in the heat. She's being somewhat recalcitrant about the whole thing, sadly. I need to rig up some kind of sunshade for the bed one of these days. But three of us are coming for sure. We're...
