The guys in San Antonio told me on several occasions that all of their trucks and trailers short enough to transport on a standard civvy flatbed trailer are going to Oklahoma to be sold. They were only selling M109s and M820s in SA, however there are several M35s on there right now, though they...
I like the 11.00 XLs, though I have no experience driving with NDTs (YET, the M109A3 will be legal soon......), and I have not felt adventurous enough to try mudding with the M35, though rain would be required to make the mud and Central Texas is apparently at the back of the rain line. If it...
I am by far not an expert on the subject, but I think in terms of finding parts and local mechanics that know how to work on them, the Toyota has the advantage in Africa, Asia and Australia. I have a friend who went to Australia trekking around the outback for a month and he bought a Toyota when...
This funnel has a bigger hole than the drain plug, that is the worst part, I should have been able to figure out the flow rate part BEFORE I opened the floodgates!
I have been doing oil changes for about 20 years now and still have not learned how to NOT make a mess! Usually it is a few ounces in the driveway, this one was in the back yard of my shop on rough blacktop, that was very poorly laid, so it is pretty much soaking through, I think I lost about 2...
OK, I did my first ever mutlifuel oil change yesterday, and learned a few lessons.
1. Around here Tractor Supply is the cheapest place to buy 5gal of Rotella.
2. TSC sells a really cool 12" metal funnel for catching the used oil.
3. An M35A2 with 11.00s on it is almost too short to put that...
I went through the same thing today! I think the filters we got are for a lot of different applications, choose the seal you need and discard the others. My secondary canisters either did not have seals in them or the old seals are jammed so far up in the housing that I could not find them, I...
I don't know about the other yards but most of the trucks coming out of Ft. Sam Houston seem to have been recently brought up to roadworthy spec by the motorpool just before they were to be donated, then sold on GL if they don't get picked from the donation stream. Is it possible the Army is...
This makes me think that my next MV to be registered will have license plates, readily identifying it as a POV. Texas allows former MVs to be registered using original markings for the plate numbers, but that may lead to confusion as to it's service status. Plates for me...
You mean rifles? Rifles (and ammunition) ARE still available from the Gov through the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP), as far as I know they always have been.
