head for the mountains Image 3, I would prefer to see a Busch can on there, and for gosh sakes wash that dust and dirt off the engine. A clean engine is a happy engine.

collecting Nice collection of trucks. Have seen your recovery posts before about having stuff dropped off in the parking lot and driving 'em short way home. Are you starting a museum, or going to use them for business, or just lawn ornaments? I grew up in south st. louis. Just curious. Keep...

just trying to help a neighbor Please submit more pics as you find wayward and troubled NFL cheerleaders in need. Names and phone numbers would be good too for crisis counseling type stuff or if they need a ride in OD iron to church, or the general store.

what more can you say.... Your caring and willing to help is truly appreciated. :lol:

another humanitarian I will let you know sir. Your dedication to helping others is recognized, respected, and appreciated. [thumbzup]

community service I would like to start a 'home' for troubled NFL cheerleaders. I am just that kind of humanitarian, it's just the way I am. ;)

just shopping Golly, wonder how soon those MLRS' will be listed on GL? :-)

read 25 pages, what duh ya get, another day older..... Good job holding your tempers guys. This is a great site. Wanted to point out something I found weird. On page 14, our honored agitator states, " The fact is that only reason you dislike my posts is that I have temerity to disagree with...

manual shift, no power steering, lots of noise Good job. Having practical experience like that ( mechanical stuff) sure helps a person long term.

SeaFire, I believe we are not to post any battle damage pics because..... the bad guys have access to the world wide web and can google for this stuff and find out what methods of their's work good for them, and don't work good, from their perspective. Maybe a Moderator can...

... just putting the info out there since you asked. I go with Gulfway Insurers out of Bayonet Point FL and I pay $200 a year. They do want interior and exterior pics.

the A-10 page Many days, just while driving aboot town, I will see a couple A-10's stop in for fuel here at Petersen AFB, guess maybe they come by to train with ground forces here at Ft. Carson? Check out the info on wikipedia, pretty amazing practical designs for its mission... "The...

upgrade I would just assume it got updated during a depot rebuild maybe 20 yrs into it's service. Need David Doyle to weigh-in again. [thumbzup]

transfer case yes he is starting with the transfer case in low range, it's shifter down near the floor, then he pulls it all the way up to high range, and shifts the transmission back to 4th, then back up to 5th. (the transfer case also has a neutral mode, halfway up from the floor).

large weight Six and a half tons of fun, or trouble.... you can make the difference.

uses Is that vehicle used to take folks out on the snow and ice to look at polar bears? For prelube, is that trick worth it to use where you pull out the 'stop' thingy and crank for about 10 seconds to get some oil up in the engine, then push the stop thingy in and crank and fire it up...

shifting gears Are the 800 series 5 ton transfer cases/2nd transmission, able to handle this kinda shfing too, such as a XM818? I think I am going to make a loop recording of the sound on this vid as a relaxation tape. :D

high or low with transfer case I have tried Wreckerman's method of shifting and it works fine. ....start up with transfer case in low range, 2nd gear, then third , fourth, fifth, then switch transfer case to hi range on the fly, and move transmission to fourth, then go back up to fifth...

easier in low range Yeah I use it too for backing into my storage spot where I make some turns around trailers, into my spot, in a storage yard. Set the hand throttle so engine is at about 900 at idle, put it in low and let out clutch, lets you concentrate on looking in the mirrors and...

nice ride Looks nice. Congrats! Best of luck to you with it.
