@TenTires I guess I maybe prefer helicopters that have belly weapons? nice photo either way, looks like a popular/special gathering on the ground too @Blaines2399 not sure if I'm fond of that particular kind of headlight bulbs but either way nice winterize cover for the radiator tho, don't see...

welcome btw and not to be silly but would "business in back" include stashed all-black nerf guns? just joking perhaps .. either way I agree that these chromed rims maybe can go otherwise I don't have anything to add

thats one very 'going straight to the junkyard' chevrolet after that film ended! also didn't quite expected the atv to take an alternative route and ambush the poor hemtt driver too

well I guess there may be two factors in term of that they were underpowered (old engine with little maintenances this long onward by now) tiny things and especially with no a/c altogether .. and I don't know what the general state of underchassis rust could be with these considering they were...

@Weldman funny enough I had been watching a little bit of unofficial episodes of 'highway thru hell' on youtube the last few days (had watched many of it on live tv on and off in the past aside to also a little bit of tv app replays while I was at a toronto room two short holidays this year (the...

@Weldman thats quite a big of a 'umm whops??...uhhh' photo of the truck being pinched by a tree off the slope?

bit offtopic but even then snapping halfshafts reminds me of the volkswagen/bombardier iltis, I don't have a good cite for this but I've heard a bit of that it was generally to be left in 4wd mode all the times except if you were on dry surface and needed to make very tight turns, as otherwise...

I could be wrong but I would suspect that using higher gears is more of an ice thing aka low-friction but grip-depleted condition that is, the rationale being that lower torque would induce less "overpower" slipping. even then some cars with selectable automatic transmission modes seem to...

last time I saw an actual 24v battery was from a site that restocked batteries for varying type of planes/helicopters (especially separate category for extra-rugged 'safety battery') but otherwise pretty much everyone else pretty much serial-wire two 12v's or four 6v's together to get the 24v...

this is the only similar photo I could find from the web now but the magazine mentioned that these sort of sets were common around california through the 1950's-1960's https://i.pinimg.com/236x/8b/de/f4/8bdef4423ec7d2b694c1693836df7eb5--cattle-trucks.jpg

with regarding to transferring trailer load to the truck itself .. its a different non-military topic as ever usual but I'll note that usa-wise there were actually quite a few cattle-purposebuilt trucks back then that were set up as a 3-axle straight body hauling a 1pony+2rear axles trailer ...

regarding that funky dump bed, the towbar and re roller roll in front of the bottom tells me that it maybe seem like it was previously a small rollon-rolloff bin that in some way got welded into a permanent mount atop the deuce's chassis rails instead at the moment? I could be wrong but yeah I...

@HoveringHMMWV what competition?? he's simply forking everyone else out of his way! (haha..I know..me being silly hm?)

I know some of you might have seen the one where a few jeeps were constantly bouncing over a "wavy test surface" (its at 0:34 in the video) but I never knew there were quite more to that as per this longer version I noticed this morning now: I have to say the first several seconds are too...

btw @msgjd its unrelated but either way I have known about this (theres several versions of this on youtube by now apparently especially with or without the embedded captioning) thats another case of the small one showing up the big one! (actually sad fact is that what we call a compact economy...

@msgjd I have never ever seen a drop-in dump kit or ever knew someone actually could do that either! I rather like it .. and haha to probably laughing back at the dump trucks when they can't get to where you had been to before hm?

@Migginsbros I know its not english but I had to chuckle when I thought I almost at first was reading "[a] old ruck [of a] motor[!]" off that dashboard there heh?

@m1010plowboy several good years ago I recall running into a website that had toronto-warehoused tatra cars (including that 'strange' 97 ones sitting next to his 613's!) for sale but otherwise I'm not sure where he might be anymore lately or that I haven't ever seen much mention of tatra trucks...

you're funny @Jbulach - took me a minute to realize what you did and I think you're nutty?! (now..to empty a radiator bone dry so we can technically say we filled 'that' motor with air hm?)

regarding no suspension..I guess that for forking, it makes sense as you want it to be the same front height/ride no matter whether its empty or lumping a extra-big full container knowing that its likely certain people get quite used to 'their' tractor to the point that eventually they could...
