    Recovery Question

    Some facilities say by a "licensed tow company" so check ahead before thinking you can just run by with a friend and a tow bar.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month - April VOTE HERE!

    Should have said "vote for me and I won't show you my body." I tried that but they couldn't stop laughing long enough to vote.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month - April VOTE HERE!

    Shameless plug, yes, but still a good story. I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that tow/storage bill.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month - April VOTE HERE!

    If you can't decide who to vote for throw some towards us folks that have ZERO. I didn't vote for myself because that just seems wrong.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Working On The M923A2

    Got the super rope in today and on the truck. Finally looking like it should. A little too hot out this afternoon so I'll need to wait until tomorrow and scrub the cover down one more time. Now that it's stretched out it'll be a lot easier than it was laying on the ground.

    Working On The M923A2

    This weekend I was able to pickup a set of, mostly, fiberglass troop seats, bows, and a cover for the truck. All-in-all everything looked pretty good except for some peeling paint on the part of the troop seats that isn't fiberglass, the top rails, and the wood on the bows. Yesterday I took...

    mt 654 replacement or repair for a m923

    This is a scrap yard that's just selling some parts. I imagine he'll want something over scrap value but shouldn't be much more. Since he's not guaranteeing it'll work he shouldn't be getting full price for them.

    mt 654 replacement or repair for a m923

    Centex Salvage in Killeen bought a bunch of 923s that they are parting out. That would probably be the closest place to get a take out. Only problem is you're getting an unknown entity so I'd advise not paying more than scrap value for it. And since you're in San Antonio...

    Travails of moving Armor #2... Leopard 1 and Swiss Pz61 are home! WARNING LONG!

    As a former tanker I am envious. As a poor MV owner I am thankful all I have to worry about is a non-working CTIS on my M923A2.

    To change, or not to change? That is the question (fluids/filters)

    No one has commented on the sometimes less than stellar rebuilds done at RRAD either. A lot of stories posted on here about major part failures within 500 miles of rebuild so changing all the filters would be wise. My truck was rebuilt in Kansas City, which has a slightly better reputation...

    San Antonio, TX Monthly MV get together!!

    Sorry you missed out but now that you've got a new home get something going there that's similar. Mik just started by getting folks together for lunch once a month and it's spreading to more opportunities. It's nice that this show coincides with the monthly luncheon (sorry I missed today guys)...

    Broken starter nose cone

    Could have stolen, I mean borrowed, the one off the stepson's 1009. By the time he figured out the problem (or got out of bed) you'd be home.

    Likely excuse to miss the car show this morning :)

    San Antonio, TX Monthly MV get together!!

    Well it was 5 ton day at the car show this morning. Airbornebandsman, Motocar, and myself. Lots of fun seeing the "crunchies" drive through while we held up the back of the lot.

    Ok will be at Lowe's by 0745. Not going to be able to do the convoy to MC though.

    Working On The M923A2

    I did a little touch up painting today. The 1st spot was the left front inner fender. It was obviously tan CARC at one point and appears that the area wasn't prepped real well before they resprayed the camo. I took a scraper and got all of the loose stuff off and then reapplied some flat...

    M101A2 to M1102 size comparison

    Well I could go with a Queen size waterbed if I wanted but it's a lot tougher getting it in and out of the cargo area. With the air mattress I can store it behind the seat and still have room for the dance floor.

    M101A2 to M1102 size comparison

    Time to paint the 1028 3 Color Camo to match? I think I'll have a lot more floor space in the 923 at Mabry and Temple and may just go with the Queen size air mattress this time.
