Thanks! Yep, and having seen the abominations inflicted by them upon so many innocent M416s, I will do my best to ensure that these never fall into their hands! ;) Actually, Jeepers hacking up 416s almost beyond recognition is a pet peeve of mine. Considering what they do to them, I think...

I suppose picking up "new" trailers and bringing them home counts as "What did you do to your trailer"...? ;) Tinstar's cool flightline trailer conversion made me think of these trailers. I was recently offered two M416s extremely cheap. Both came off Laughlin Air Force Base many years ago...

My experience with these shelters is that there are many, many configurations, each rigged for a specific purpose, and these myriad of variations are not laid out in the general manuals. There is likely documentation for each shelter setup, but that seems to rarely make it out to us. The...

To me, the best takeaway from this is that you had your youngling with you. There is no better thing for you or the kid than spending quality time together. The F-105 is an F-105G Wild Weasel, their job was to tease the SAM sites (surface to air missiles) into revealing themselves, then...

That is a great video, very informative and demonstrating perfect technique! :beer: Cheers

A momentary switch is one that has to be pushed to work, once you release finger pressure on it, the switch turns off. In the case of mine for my gauge, when I push the switch, the gauge shows the fuel quantity in the auxiliary tank. As soon as I release the switch, it reverts back to...

I did that on my M1028A2. It was easier than trying to add a factory-type twin tank setup with extra valves, fuel return lines, etc. There is a simple one-way 30gph pump, with a switch on the dash, to send the fuel from the passenger side tank to the drivers side. The auxiliary tank has a...

Can I post my own personal parade? ;) My wife and I were headed to Lakeway for their annual Independence Day parade this morning, but it was cancelled for thunderstorms and flooding while we were enroute, so we RTB'd. I took this picture back at my place. It's a bit soggy, but I'm on top of a...

An old thread that came back up, but has a point that needs clarification. MilStd 642 spells out the basics of US military markings, including the standards for the star national symbol, but does not mention that national stars are not applied to USMC vehicles. Cheers

Happy travels, and that looks like a good buy, so... :) Cheers

That looks pretty spiffy! Cheers

Great job in a short time! I love seeing the youngling partaking with such enthusiasm, makes me miss mine being young. I really like that green tarp interior covering on the doors, very clever! I'll keep that trick in mind for the future. Cheers

Welcome aboard! M809s are great trucks. Cheers

Only three to choose from, that should make the decision easier ...... HA!!!! :shock::shrugs: Cheers

Borgward B2000 personnel carrier. That would be fun to have, I wonder what parts supply would be like. Cheers
