Like the others said, that looks like orange gasket sealer to me. I think it's reasonable to assume at some point a surface was resealed using it and they got a little overzealous and some squeezed through to the inside. I have seen that orange stuff on transmissions, transfers, axles, oil...

The RT will be where it has been since we moved to the new field in 2012. HQ will be next to it so you can consider it one big "HQ/RT" command module. Anything short of brain surgery will probably occur here. You can think of this as the "Nerve center" of SSGR. First aid will be next to the...

My friend Lamar asked me to post this, since he is not super proficient with SS and computer stuff in general. Everyone who's been in the MV hobby for a long time knows Lamar Rowland. He's put on a rally at his place in Alabama for years and has been on all the major MVPA convoys and trips...

I have edited post #2 with this link but be aware that there is an effort to put together some "rideshare" events to help groups of members make the Ga. Rally: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?128339-Rideshare-to-GA-Rally-Texas-and-potentially-other-states Although the members...

A member contacted me and said he was trying to get a group trip together from Texas to the Ga. Rally. A "van pool" if you will. It's a very long trip from Texas and many members can't afford to drive a Civic (and the food, hotels, etc.) that it would take to go alone, but if 3-5 people go...

I thought the group was more receptive to our Ga rally invite than last year. I met some people I had seen posting on G503 and they were very nice. Saw a couple really nice WWII Jeeps and a bicycle! The Ga MVPA demographic is much older than SS and probably G503 so I spent a few minutes...

This is only my opinion, so you have to decide what it's worth but I am not terribly concerned about this (and by this, I am referring to potential legislation aimed at curbing military equiment to law enforcement agencies). First off, the overwhelming majority of the gear these departments get...

We'll see how tomorrow goes.

Let me put it like this: If you become a member and you don't like it (National MVPA), you get a free 45 second "window of opportunity" to complain, directly to me, at the Ga Rally in 2015. Some of you may have to travel a bit but everybody knows it's best MV rally anywhere in the history of...

So, when I worked for a professional repair shop, one of the good habits I picked up from working around professional technicians was latex/nitrile gloves. No matter how much you scrub your hands, you can't get them clean after a few days of heavy mechanical work. My "real" job is a warehouse...

In short: You know how old wrist watches had a tiny bit of radium (I think) to make them glow in the dark? Very mildly radioactive. Old M-series gauges had the same thing. At some point, somebody tested one and found out it was beyond the acceptable level. So the same thing happened then as...

I have asked for clarification on this issue to be sure I am reading it correctly but the last line in the DLA press release makes me believe that the FD/LE entities will retain ownership as before: Rules on ownership of items and accountability standards will also continue as before.

Ok, is everybody ready to smile? The MVPA will be releasing an official statement at some point today and my contact's have given me approval to release this: We're good to go-truck sales will resume shortly without restrictions! The DLA has issued a press release...

So, who all is going with us this Saturday?

If you go to most MVPA meets, the demographic is older and skews more towards Jeeps and WC's. The SS demographics are younger and skew heavily towards the 6x6's as that's what is available and affordable.

It's not restricted to Warner Robins-I've had trucks from Albany and Redstone with the same issue.

There will be an announcement, probably tomorrow about the future of the surplus program, in regards to the general public: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?127832-The-EPA-DLA-stoppage-and-where-we-stand-and-what-we-should-do&p=1589996#post1589996

I am going to have some very good news here very shortly. It's something everyone is going to like. As soon as I get word that it's "public", I'll put it out there. I have to go run a bushhog on a tractor for a bit for a friend, so it may come out somewhere before it comes to me and I can...

Yes I did, thank you much. I already gave it to Dave for his Atomic Energy Commission Dodge A 100 pickup project and he flipped out. He really appreciated it as well.
