    Fixing up my M422A1 Mighty Mite

    Rory, I saw this thread when you first posted, but did not have time at that moment to read it. So, I clicked the Watch button and (not so patiently) waited until I could read the whole thread. What a treat it was this morning! Your writing style makes for a very enjoyable read. That’s in...

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    As @Mogman said, you can elect to use your bumper number in lieu of a license plate when your vehicle is registered as a FMV in Texas. This is a good read: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/texas-fmv-laws-former-military-vehicles.67255/

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    @frauhansen - You have one good looking truck. And knowing that it fits in the garage at the pub is good intel! I loaded my M1097R1 up yesterday morning and drove to Giddings, Texas where I met several other SS members at a car show. I connected with @texas30cal in Brenham and we...

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Today was “Take your HMMWV to work Friday,” which (in my humble opinion) should be a national holiday. I put 110 miles on the M1097R1 and averaged 12.6 mpg. Much of the commute was highway driving at 55mph. Here’s a glimpse at the downtown Houston skyline over the hood. Anyone from...

    Shipping the M35a2. Stacked?

    My wife and I have an arrangement. I can have as many MVs as I want, but I may not rent more storage space. This thread is giving me ideas….

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    We were in the front parking lot across from the main entrance and vendor area at the museum. The same place as last year. Although we didn’t get much foot traffic (i.e., people walking across the parking lot), everyone could see our trucks.

    Follow (or “Watch”) this year’s thread. We’ll bump it next year when a new thread is posted. So back on topic, I put 177 miles on the M1097R1 this weekend attending the rally and averaged 9.4 miles per gallon. I had a M105 trailer in tow for most of those miles.

    2023 TX MV Rally

    So @CallMeColt got his truck running and left under his own power this morning. Hopefully he gets home with no issues! I made it home and just beat the rain storm. I’ll let the rain pass before I unload my trailer. Here are a couple of pictures from Saturday. It is always a treat to see the...

    The forecast calls for great weather this weekend. Rain may blow through College Station mid-day tomorrow and then clear out for the rally.

    I had the high beams on for that picture. Ok…. Call me the slow one in the family…. What do you mean by “proper adjustment height”?
