    Has Iraqi Hezbollah Acquired an American M1A1 tank?

    They wont be able to keep it running.. US tank crews pull LOTS of maintenance on their tracks daily. Once some LRU's crap out, they wont be able to fix it,as they wont know whats wrong and don't have spares to replace bad parts with.

    rear bumper tire carrier questions

    There are aluminum airdrop bumpers, but they were only used on a small number of HMMWV's trying to keep weight down. (Avengers I seem to recall)

    Hawker battery questions.

    You can not apply sealed lead acid battery "info/thinking" to the AGM batteries. They are a different beast.

    I'm worried about my Deuce freezing tonight

    Wind chill "temp" doesn't matter. The truck will only get as cold as the "real" temperature... Wind chill only applies to living things that "make" heat biogically.

    Tank, M1A2 / M1A2SEP Abrams NSN: 2350-01-328-5964

    They don't. The tank hulls and turrets that are now M1A2SEP's were M1ANothings back in the day, and they got upgraded to M1A1's and later A2's and later A2SEPs. It is just the "guts" on the insides that get upgraded.

    Mule 1st year Gov used elec starter

    I roll into Aberdeen on Wed noonish.. Lots of "vendor on vendor" deals to be had at Aberdeen in the past that day. By Saturday, things are pretty picked over for whatever public shows up.

    2015 Aberdeen and Findlay shows -SAME DAYS!

    There are a few different locations that were suggested. A race track in Delaware and Army Heritage Center in Carlisle were the 2 big ones. Bottom line is the head of the event doesn't want to move from the parkinglot, and it seems to me the show management would rather see the show die than...

    2015 Aberdeen and Findlay shows -SAME DAYS!

    Less people in general means some vendors pack up and head home early as they are loosing $ by being there..... The best days for the show are Wed and Thursday, when it is all "dealer on dealer"

    2015 Aberdeen and Findlay shows -SAME DAYS!

    I will be at Aberdeen, but getting only 1 space. It's just not worth it anymore to buy a ton of spaces at $60 a piece with less and less buyers every year. I have to leave Friday night due to a Saturday family commitment, and honestly, Im not the least bit upset about it. If something...

    Anyone bid on "sealed bid" auctions?

    Loadtamer nets are THE BEST EVER... I own several sizes, I wont trade them for the world. The biggest thing is to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, and make sure you attach the carabeiners to the ROPE, and not the net itself. Then just pull and tighten it all up, and cinch down the ropelock. The...
