I joined SS around the same year this thread was born, but I would have been in then same group only by a few days had I voted then. Time sure seems to move fast...
They got 80 of them decades ago. Sure some of those F-14s are still flying... barely. There's plenty of info available on the state of the Shah's equipment. We don't have to worry much about the F-14s that are still hanging on. They made a decent showing fighting the Iraqis, but they're just...
Contrary to popular belief we're pretty careful about leaving the good stuff. A lot of people spend a lot of time accounting for everything that matters. Sure we make mistakes and bad decisions, but the retrograde from Iraq was hardly like the embassy in Saigon in '75. The hoards weren't...
It was bound to happen. Good thing they're base model M1A1's. They don't have all the options ours do. :wink: I wonder where they're getting training and parts? Oh yea, they're not. Sure, they'll figure out how to run it and maybe they can feed it captured ammo. Rest assured even the best Iraqi...
There might be other build threads as well, but here are two. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?22604-Work-on-the-baby-HEMTT-grinds-to-a-start and here. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?2843-Deuce-project-Baby-HEMTT&highlight=
Jones, Fantastic build. I hope this finds a...

Run it at about 5% load for a week. That might do it.
Great test, thanks for posting. Finally a test with photo results that tells us how underrated a MEP truly is.
This week my Dad and I rebuilt my M38s carburetor. At some point the Carter YS was replaced with a Solex 32PBIC. My Jeep has been incredibly difficult to start since I bought it back in 2013. My father diagnosed it as a non-functional accelerator pump. His lifetime of automotive/carb experience...
TA-1042 Digital nonsecure voice telephones will work as well. Several phones can be set up on a common power source and when you pick up one handset they all ring. No cranks or any other action required. The downside in they require four wires instead of two.
It's certainly a one-off custom vehicle, built not to be practical, just pure bad-azz fun. Who cares if it's hard to maintain, I'm sure the builder is intimately familiar with his ride.
Anyone else notice the grill? Looks like it's from a M151 Mutt. I wonder if it started life as an M151...
I work on Ft Gordon about 10 min from the GL site, I can pick it up for you and hold it long term if necessary. Shoot me a PM or an email at sigo31@gmail.com.
