    I believe you will find those were V-150s used by the Marines.

    2011 Findlay Show...After Action Report!

    I got up on Saturday. Anyone know who it was that had the old stretchers that stacked and clipped together like bunkbeds? Anyone know where to find them?

    Most MV Friendly State(s)

    OHIO is certainly no problem. For vintage/historic, titling is easy, insurance is cheap, and we don't even have to mount or display the plates, which is really cool.

    Where exactly do you guys find the hulls for these things...

    Additionally, these are 1960's era vehicles. They have been out of service since the 70's, so don't expect any to show up on GL.

    Saudi Arabia for parts?

    Exporting surplus military anything from most countries is not as simple as it sounds. Most will not do it, period. And the one's that will, finding a trustworthy person there in which to deal is quite another story.

    Only XM-706/V-100 in private ownership

    The studs were for mounting experimental add-on armor for the Venezuela army contract.

    New V-100

    The right side shifting link; the part it attaches to at the transmission is the bell crank. The bell crank pivot needs to be snug fit with no play or you will be fishing for gears. As for rear axle problems, in the context of 18 year old GIs vs. adults...enough said. I don't think anyone has...

    Only XM-706/V-100 in private ownership

    For your viewing pleasure, this XM-706 we restored three years ago and has a very happy owner. It is the only early model we know of and certainly in private hands. We love before and after photos....

    Did any US Jeeps use full size soft doors in WWII? I know they did in Korea, and that the Brits did in WWII, but US?

    Awesome video of wheeled armor

    This is a great video showing in detail French AMX-10 6x6 w/90mm gun. Very advanced, very effective in long range operations. You don't need to understand French to appreciate their vehicles. Footage of VBLs, too.

    New V-100

    You gotta do the heim joint mod on the shift linkage if you ever what it to shift consistently. My 6 year old can shift mine now.

    Ferret pulling a trailer

    I would be concerned with overheating the fluid flywheel under tow. Ferrets are not particularly powerful and the added drag might be a real problem You cook a flywheel, you are not going anywhere for a long time; and its a major bear to change out.

    ASK up-armored doors

    I agree completely with jwaller on all his points. Additionally, these heavily caused almost as many deaths due to the overloading the design as were saved by the armor. It is not heavy enough armor for IED protection but enough to seriously compromise every positive aspect of the vehicle. They...
