    Surprise while driving HMMWV back from DLA

    Wow. That is simply amazing to me. And downright scary and dangerous, especially considering how high-dollar those vehicles are. Imagine having to be concerned about watching your tire and wheel roll down the road even if you didn't encounter an IED.

    Surprise while driving HMMWV back from DLA

    That was a very wise move to pull over and check the vehicle when you felt something out of the ordinary. "You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel." Definitely a human error in the re-assembly.

    2012 Haspin info/dates/attendance

    I will not make it to Haspin this year. I was given tickets to the NHRA drag races in Bristol, TN and headed there early Friday morning. I did manage to win an auction for an M932A1 from Wright Patterson today. Shows less than 500 miles and 224 hrs on the engine.

    He is referring to the wire mesh stone guards on the headlights. You sure have a nice looking truck.

    Military tents?

    A GP medium canvas tent can be set up and taken down by 2 people. Recovry4x4 and I have done it several times. Fortunately, no experience in sub-freezing temps. Those command tents would be excellent in any climate.

    2012 Cincinnati Area Memorial Day Parade

    This is the Florence, KY Police Dept. At the conclusion, they did a 21-gun salute with 12 gauge shotguns. Their timing was nearly perfect. Very impressive and incredibly loud. Excellent.

    Engine Oil used in TH400 instead of Dexron

    Whether or not the engine oil will harm the tranny would be a very long, drawn out discussion. I would NOT run engine oil. Aside from the differences in lubrication properties, there is one critical factor to consider- the flash point of trans fluid is considerably higher than that of engine oil.

    Non Winch Offroad Recovery

    Get a 6 inch nylon snatchin' strap. MAKE SURE it's a stretchable recovery strap and NOT a rigging strap. When properly used with knowledge and experience, it's nothing short of amazing what can be accomplished. The time Ferro got his 818 hung in the swamp @ Ga Rally immediately comes to mind. We...

    How Did You Install VIC-1 In M1009?

    As far as communications, you just can't beat a Peltor Power Com. They are superb especially when trail riding. And no pesky cables.
