    My New R2 Crash Truck

    Free M37's Devilman, they're still here, but you have to come and get them. And that offer was only for Devilman in reference to saving the R2. Not a general free offer, but they are for sale.

    My New R2 Crash Truck

    Lane had me going when he suggested chopping it into a swamp buggy! I just thought he'd lost his mind entirely. I was almost ready to go steal ARGYLE and offer HIM up for trade!

    My New R2 Crash Truck

    Nothing you haven't seen, Lane. Still got the two parts trucks left out of that 4 truck deal. Need to take a few parts of the one, but the other has a good frame as far as I know. Heck, you've got more parts trucks in better shape than I have.

    More ASV Pics

    RE: Re: RE: More ASV pics Thanks for the detail pics. Wonder how far they went with the "Dew on the front plate after the LEO let them go.

    Intro and seeking info on the XM152

    If you ever find one with the windows AND DOUBLE back doors, it is one of the first 5 pilot models. Note the double doors visible through the side windows in the archive photo posted by Maddawg. Hndrsnj's photo shows only one rear door and the distinctive Canadian camouflage on the door.

    Info/Pics needed of M8/M8A1/M8E2 tractor

    From the archives Back in the 60's, Aurora Model Company made many kits of armor and tracked vehicles. I kept the cover of the instruction sheet, even though the model itself got busted. It's 1/48 scale didn't fit in with the 1/35 scale I was getting from other companies, so it hasn't been...

    No lights ! ( M880 )

    The M880 I drive for our Museum does the same thing-usually when the turn signal adds draw on the system for too long, like exiting the freeway or waiting at a light. I've been told the breaker in question is up behind the dash and next to impossible to get to. All the other breakers have been...

    5 ton & CCC Road Speeds

    Different Breed of truck The M939 series of truck is considered a tactical vehicle, and really is better at lower speeds and going through the woods. The M915 series (A1 [CCC], A2 & A3 [FREIGHTLINER]) is a slightly modified (painted) OTR tractor, and performs as such. The M916-M920 series...

    5 ton & CCC Road Speeds

    STock M923A2 will run 65 all day, :) just watch for the cramp just above the knee because of the pedal position. It probably will, over time, leave the tranny a lot worse for wear, but my LT SWORE to me that the "overspeed" light flashing on the dash "meant nothing". Also, please, do NOT EVER...

    Mean lil' armored machine! :)

    RE: .05 Pretty sure he's just trying to communicate with someone sitting in the driver's seat of the ASV. Judging by the uniform, he may be the interpreter.

    Any Steel Soldiers ATV's

    Air force When I was active duty Army National Guard at the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center (Air Force), kept seeing the security police and others doing 4 wheeler training. They'd run around in a squad and hit the little wilderness patch behind the main base. I'll see if anyone over...

    M4A1 Halftrack

    So it's got the "step" at the rear where the body doesn't go all the way to the back? and no back door, right? In the pic at the restaurant, looks like you're waiting for VALET PARKING! Wouldn't that be a hoot!

    M4A1 Halftrack

    What's the major difference between the M4A1 and the M3 series halftracks? The blue ribbon on the 50 cal barrel reminds me of the Scot with his kilt "Aye, laddy, I don't know where you've been, but I see you've won first prize!"

    Have fun, Bill. And to all the guys that are helping on this recovery, thanks! It shows how great a community we have here and in the MV hobby in general. How many of these new trucks are coming up for the trail ride?
