I forgot my phone had a different screen name...

My shop van is up and running again, and I hope to attend. Will trail maintenance be performed during the Fourth of July weekend as in previous years?

I think he's referring to the Warn on the decked-out firetruck.

Is this the one? (It is still listed on Craigslist.) It has some nice non-standard features: bumper steps to get up to service the engine, cab heater, spring suspension driver's seat, at least the base to strap a fuel can to the driver's step, and windshield washer fluid dispenser. As you'll be...

Snicker. Just the same two rotten GSA pictures you saw. (Seriously. Do the photographers think they are on a stake-out and use a telephoto lens from a quarter mile away?) At least it wasn't covered by snow like I've seen in some auction pictures... You may want to try and contact the...

Roaddog, glad to see that a member here got that truck! I was eyeing it, but unable to pull the trigger. ("I DON'T need a winch, I DON'T need a winch... MUST BELIEVE that I don't need a winch...") I'm two hours northeast on I-81 near Roanoke, VA should an emergency arise or you need a place to...

Whichever route you pick, consider removing or at least being gentle with the ladder storage brackets and retaining hook on the back of the van to the left side of the doors. They are often missing or mangled from these trucks, and not so easy to source.

Why, oh WHY am I pining to be sweating for free these days while I'm getting paid to work elsewhere? OD fever? Be safe. Drink lots of WATER!

Opie is working (:sad:) July 4 weekend but HAS planned ahead and has Labor Day weekend off. Opie, M109A3 (God willing), 1 guest/"She who must be obeyed"

And for that matter (and to hijack :rolleyes:), where can they be obtained in the lower 48?

FINDER'S FEE???? EGADS! That guy with the trucks in the Pacific Northwest is back!!!

Seven minutes from question to answer! Bruce, thanks! I LOVE this site!!!!!:-D

Even when the deuce cab heater/defroster is hooked up properly, the vents don't throw much air onto the windshield. Miltrucks once had a pair of additional plates which could be bolted on over the vents incorporated into the dash to further direct the heated air toward the windshields, but...
