I'm in again. I have to bring a boarding ladder to python86, plus I'm going to be there anyways again. Actually might have something green there!

As far as metal jerry cans - you have either really high for new USGI cans (50-60 dollars ea), or used you can try your local flea market and garage sales. They are hit or miss, though, sometimes you'll find a great deal but other, just rusty junk with crap in it or a hole in the bottom. With...

I always got a kick out of people selling their 4x4s and advertising that it comes with a 10,000-lb wench. I reply, "are you that anxious to sell your wife with the truck?"

I was never a fan of the gama goats. They looks stupid, they run stupid and they sound stupid. The engine is so loud right next to you you can't hear yourself think, the heater has two settings - off and broil, and the pump has to run like **** to keep it afloat. Just my opinions, but if I...

kcimb - here's one that's overseas, the price is right but you gotta know an importer to get it here: BRDM-2 - Armoured Vehicles - Mortarinvestments.eu - Mortar Investments

Isn't that what a whiffle tree is for?

A few pics I have of ones that were posted here over the years.

I saw one sell for more than $12K once, but it was SWEET looking.

It's a gore-fest. Make sure you hose the red goop off your trucks after the filming, and if you watch the movie, bring a bag to barf in. Gory movies have that effect on people.

Uhh......

That size shelter was designed originally to fit on the M-37. The M715 also used them. However, it can fit on almost every full size pickup.

Rare birds, but nothing better for hauling heavy loads, especially with a 5th-wheel hitch.

Pretty cool - how do you have the air brake lines hooked up? Do they go only to the M200 trailer, or to the M146 trailer, or modified to both?

Recon Charlie Alpha - thanks for the input. Some of those milpack radios are very expensive for what you get, and most are not rack mounted. But there are a few good ones in there. The GRC-106 is probably one of the better ones that I would use, for 2-30 MHz TX and RX. However, it's USB and...

Lots of good info, Alpha, thanks! I hear the "civvy radios are better" opinion. And to some degree, on some bands you're right - especially 2 meters and it's surrounding regions. However, I've found military radios to be more rugged (I've beat them around moving them and they took it in...

I'll poke them too, just wanted to see if anyone here, maybe OPCOM or another commo expert, could weigh in. Remember, if I don't ask, there is never an answer.

Project for next year is to build and design a S-280 radio shelter that would be my ham shack, that could be a semi-permanent emplacement here, but could also be mounted in the future to a M923/5 series truck for bringing to shows so I could run my ham gear on site. It will also be a camper...

Hot wire it. All a keyed switch is, is a way to secure an electrical connection between the battery and the starter. Find the wires behind the panel that go to the keyed switch, and connect. Easy. From wikipedia: "Hot-wiring generally involves connecting the two wires which complete...

Buy a new one. Evian is cheap, and available at any WalMart.

Nice truck, looks like you have a good start, a truck without a lot of damage or cancer. I actually like the yellow on it. I' remove the spreader and the plow mount, and maybe repaint a shade darker yellow, like the Navy uses on forklifts, and stencil as a Navy truck....
