More questions

Chevrolet/GMC 2" Wheel Spacers

2" thickness: check

PAO= Public Affairs Office

Getting it back would be fairly easy. It all has data plates still so it would be as simple as talking to the right people and adding it to the manifest. Now being ethical or legal is another matter, he definitely would not have a SF-97. Say his unit wanted to do a FOI (found on...

Also I may have recruited a new member! I gave him the website link and he is a mechanic based out of FT Hood.

That is a mystery. HMMWV tires/wheels will fit on a M1008, 1028, 1031. Not sure about the spacer. I'm guessing he either ordered them and had them sent over by mail or he had something fabricated here. While the later is not likely it may be possible since this is a larger base we are...

I am still deployed to Afghanistan (almost done though). Anyway last night something caught my eye so I went back today and talked to a worker in the area and asked if I could take a few pics. The story is one of the guys that is no longer here went and pulled these(2) from the "graveyard"...
Thanks Amram, I have been wanting one for years now and the opportunity and funds finally lined up. Before it was always lots of trucks but no funds to buy, for the past 6 months I have had some funds but was beginning to think I would not find the truck on my limited budget. It finally...
