    New York State inspection

    They have been so far, but I haven't shopped around as I've been pretty happy with them. they are quick to respond and really haven't gotten any BS from them. *that being said, I have yet to have an incident where I actually needed them to pay out or anything. I've had glass issues, but they...

    New York State inspection

    I gave USAA the serial number of my M38 and they were more than happy to list it as a "1951 M38 Jeep" I probably could have told them anything to put there and they would have. I haven't worked through the DMV yet due to a few other factors, so I don't know what will happen there.

    Santa Brought a Convoy Warning Light Kit

    I'll guarantee you right now there are trucks sitting in motorpools with mismatched parts, colors, ETC. mirrors, doors, handles, tailgates, hoods, yep... had them all. Had a tan HMMWV with everything tan except the replacement hood which came OD Green. All of the tan stuff was moved from the...

    I'm in Hopewell VA now, just outside Ft. Lee, but I will be gone in a few months.

    Can you have someone follow you with a video camera when you bring it to the DMV for inspection? :-D

    trailer at AP HIll, VA for my Fire Dept

    I always forget to check TSC. I'd really just rather get a HMMWV version on a plate. I have the Class IV receiver and such. POV = 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 w/Cummins

    trailer at AP HIll, VA for my Fire Dept

    Depending on width I can store it here, or I can store it on post.

    trailer at AP HIll, VA for my Fire Dept

    Ditto... but not until Jan sometime. My POV is perfectly capable, just need the correct hitch.

    Recent LMTV out of Hooks

    Ditto what DSD Says above, but there are some minor differences (and improvements) between the S&S version and the Oshkosh version. compatability is iffy. In S. Korea we had to modify door latches to fit one older truck, but they matched exactly up with one that had just been fielded. At the...

    GPW Numbers

    You are correct, I'm thinking of the M38 (mine) forgot it doesn't translate to the earlier ones.

    GPW Numbers

    body number should be on a plate behind the passenger seat on the rear wheel well area, but inside the tub. Also located on front bumper horn...

    Recent LMTV out of Hooks

    I had someone send me the information and I looked it up in the system (finally learned the new LIW). It was coded as "Z" which cross referenced to "Unit Reconciliation" I have zero clue. I THINK what happened was it was deemed excess and someone somewhere along the line decided to DRMO it...

    M871 trailer - RECOVERY

    That's standard from my old motorpool on storing the sides. Never saw any bows or anything besides a standard tie down tarp... Nice score though.

    >40 Year old M817 in Kuwait?

    I drove, for about a week, an M35A2 while in Iraq in 2010. It was not uparmored either. I saw another un-armored either M35 series or M800 series (I didn't know the difference at the time) on JBB as well. Neither of these trucks left the wire unless it was on the back of a flatbed as we...

    Are lights on a timer circuit when engine is not running?

    I've never experienced that on a M998 or M1038 series truck. I've had guys need to get slaved because they left their lights on all day or something.

    My 1990 GMC Suburban CUCV clone AKA: M1007 or M1029

    Great looking conversion! With the back being open, yet with the divider up front, reminds me of a Border Patrol/transport truck where they might just load up a bunch of drunk Infantrymen from the bar and shuttle them back to the stockade or something. great job on it!

    Mraps on the front

    That does look sexy. Do you loose any abilities in turning radius or anything? (have you had a chance to find out yet?)

    Inspection in Richmond

    depending on yours and their timeframe I may be able to. I'm stationed at Ft. Lee. I think there are many more experienced people closer though.

    Finally got an M38

    that's a great looking score. you've got a lot of good stuff to work with including a full windshield wiper set. a little work and some paint and you'll be up and running!

    Can somebody explain these letters painted on my rocker cover?

    ULLS-G has also been replaced by SAMS-E (Standard Army Maintenance System-Enhanced). There's a -1E box at the company level and a -2E box at the SMC or higher echelons.
