Come on guys, we need a bigger showing than three. We need at least one more CUCV to be convoy lead and a few more deuces and five tons. Armor would be nice too.
These were heading north through Burbank CA when I took the pictures. It was hard to tell which way they went after they passed my vantage point. If they took the left fork they would head north towards Ventura and could go as far as Seattle on that line. If they train continued straight it...
While wandering around at work I heared a train approaching. Turns out it was three UP SD-70ACes pulling a long line of armored vehicles. From where I was they looked very much like Bradley Fighting vehicles. I only had my cellphone camera to shoot the pics so sorry if they aren't the best. Can...

I bought and carry the Harbor Freight "farm jack". It is mounted along the passenger side behind the spare tire. I tested it out in the driveway before taking it out in the field. With the Hi-lift/farm jacks don't forget a strap of some sort to wrap/tie the axle up with. The rear bumper on my...
