    New guy in Arkansas

    I prefer SS, but there is E-Bay, and a load of other sellers on the internet under M35A2, M35A3, or military truck sales. I bought ny first MV from e-bay , but if you have a nearby GL military base where you can actually preview the vehicle you may get a better price but a lot mnore work.

    Help get the TM link back on line.

    I am ignorant as to what has caused the problem with the TM link. Just thought this might help the site if it was a case of expensive software or the likes. And it is good thing to support the site anyway. I certainly hope it is not a slacking issue...

    Help get the TM link back on line.
