That's exactly the idea. However, it does take a large blast to relieve an MRAP of it's running gear. Getting out of the kill zone was a design consideration, but they will deflect a blast at the expense of all the external components.

I can't imagine the deputies in the Caiman are the only deputies responding to the incident if said incident required an armored vehicle. I don't know the intricacies of all the MRAP variants, but it could also be a self-sealing tank. The fuel tank is probably a relatively insignificant...

I'd probably go with white touch up paint or some white enamel and a very small brush instead of the white crayon.

From Korea? Shipping is going to be killer. I don't think it will fit in a flat rate box. :) Or is it from the Korean War era? If it's a '53 that'd make it a very early one. Either way, that's a very cool find.

I'd never seen the "K" designation used before. I like it. M35A2 Kurz (short).

I can't find the thread right now, but there is a member who did exactly what you want to do just a few months ago. He posted a detailed account of the process and his trip. I believe he picked up his 5 ton in Barstow, or maybe it was Sierra Vista. I think he posted his 5 ton for sale soon after...

I installed this kit today!

I got tired of fighting my hood. I painted and installed one of BBQRODs hood support kits today. The kit is well designed and installation was simple. It came with a solid coating of primer and everything necessary for installation, he even included a pull down cable. I don't have any trouble...

I've read and heard that quite a few Trimpaks were purchased for use in the first gulf war because there weren't enough SLGRs available. That was before my time in the Army so I don't have first-hand knowledge, but I'll say Trimpaks are correct. Brooke at PRC-68 has a good write up. PRC-68.com

Once again, great write up. Your collection continues to amaze us.

The convention is June 26-28 2014 for those that don't know. I had to look it up myself and thought I'd save someone else the trouble.

Very cool to see something different that still looks professional. I'd like to see someone recreate Dual-texture camouflage or even UCP. TacticalTailor had a CVRT done up in a very classy UCP like scheme that I haven't seen since. TT's CVRT is done up in Multicam now and still looks good.

My hood has a handle on the front. To get it back down just clip a cord or something on the hood before you let it go up. BBQRod you nailed it with this one. I need this kit. PM sent.

Not a terrible idea... it may be useful at the GA rally.

You may have already checked for your state, but some states allow you a short time to transport a vehicle with just a title/bill of sale from the seller as long as you're insured.

Congrats on your M38A1! Looks pretty solid, are you going to make it original? I've been thinking about starting a "what did you do to your Jeep today/this weekend?" thread.

Did we ever figure out if the fording kit is just a snorkel, or is it a full kit?

Street, it sure is. But you caught it. [thumbzup]

Sure don't see many road trips done in a CCKW. Congrats, thats a good looking truck.

A few have slipped out but it looks like they were released by mistake. Armor is generally cut up for scrap and not released in a usable form.
