Got it Mainsail, my bad, just a BTW a good set of NVG's = about 2,500 to 5,000 bucks.You can pick up an IR light for as little as 20 bucks, I got some for free that came off of some M113's.Just something to figger into the IR light discussion:-D
Really? I wasn't advocating driving down a civilian roadway with your headlights off, only pointing out what this feature (IR light) is good for, military applications.I forgot this place is full of lawyers:driver:
Ain't worth a hoot without NVG's, now if you have a set of Pvs5's or say Pvs7's you can slap them on your head turn on your IR light and drive down the road at 60mph with the headlights off at night,
Anyone else running 37's on the old style 8 bolt hummer wheels? I only plan on using this one for a full size spare for my 1008 but then I got to thinkin about puttin a set on my 101A1 to match my truck.I have a few extra 37's but the only wheels I have available are the old style.I ditched the...
CARNAC is right on, we never kept DS 2 in the bottles, they were stored dry.Now in the 11th ACR we did carry DS 2, it came in these 1 quart lookin oil cans, always had 2 in my right rear sponson box.In the 90's we switched over to STB(super tropical bleach) Ain't seen DS 2 in many moons, it is...
Stock pintle hitch, should have specified that.We do parades together too and he usually hauls one of his 101's behind the 1009, usually empty.But I know he does pull it with moderate loads as well, again safe driving+ experience and not overloading the trailer will be your friend here.I would...
Just lookin at it with no real info I would guess the driver did something stupid and that caused the failure(like jacknife the trailer).I saw a dude back back a water buff behind a 923 (jacknifed) in deep mud for about 150 yards once.The tounge and hitch finally let go(meanwhile we were all...
The 416 may be the book answer but the Army sure ignored it while I was in.They phased out the 416's in active service in the late 80's when the 1009's were brand new.Never saw 1009's towing much but when I did it was a 101.
Sorry Sam I been gone for a while, looks like you got her figured out.There is something wrong with your fuel tank though, it ain't got no dents like mine:beer:
Good lookin mule, you up for a drag race at petit Jean this year?
I have heard that rumor as well, doesn't concern me.This one looks relatively rust free besides the usual patch or two of surface rust.I have owned 3 m37's in the past and really love them, I am gonna go talk to the guy and see if we can work a deal.
I am more familiar with the 50's era M37's and now two B1's have popped up close to me, thanks for the info.I did look for the reinforcement plate, looks like it never had a side spare carrier.Somebody talk me into buying this truck:beer:
I was looking at a truck today that I am thinkin about buying and was surprised to see the delivery date on the dataplate of 1-65.I didn't know they were makin them that late, looks like an ex-USMC truck as it has paperclips on the front bumper, showin 4995 on the odo, wonder if that is...
