RE: FNG considering an m35 purchase. What are the essential
They are one of the most interesting trucks in the world. I love mine it cost $3K starts better than any other vehicle I own and will pull a 40 in log out of the woods without breathing hard. It might get you infected with MV fever...
Our 84 is running 33" tires with no modification at all no rub no clearance issues. The truck looks so much better with the bigger tires I would post a picture of it but it is 7,000 miles away.
Wow:
I hope my M 52 does not do that when I finally get home... I would think that a pressure tester like a stant would tell you if you have a leak either way. As to finding it that is a whole nother thing. I know people hate alumaseal but in a pinch I would put a container in and run it up to...
The thing that broke the code for me was to go to the Microsoft Website and search for powertoys. Then find the resizer software and download it. It is not too big and works great. When you get it go to file and resize picture then select or let it remain on the smallest size. It will make a...
My Wife served in the USAR and USARNG as an Army Nurse and when she commanded a Charlie Med company in an FSB the USPF&O gave a lot of stuff away to Soldiers. In one case they told my wife's Supply Sergeant to turn in radio mounts as duece tarp kits to get them off the books. I flipped out and...
This was almost surely part of the 101st Airborne or a very similar unit. They had tracks like that for the duece and 900 series trucks it does a great job at lowering the ground pressure. I saw them in the field at Fort Campbell, KY
Fort Meade DRMS is fairly tight on who they allow in and what they allow. Since the NSA is right on post they all are a little high strung. I would still see if you could drive it home especially if you have a tag for it or in the case I used since I am in the Army I just went in uniform and...
That looks great!
I have great respect for the HEMTT's as they have been serving in forward support companys for over a decade going places a duece or 5 ton had trouble in. I will never forget the evening our HEMTT wrecker slid down a hill during a flash thunder storm in Western Pennsylvainia...
KaiserM109:
Thanks for serving in Viet Nam, I was just a couple of years too young to go or I would have too. I hope the drive home is a good experience for you and don't rule out taking that hitch hiking daughter along. I hope the Wrecker in MS is getting good care I always worry if i have to...
If you look at my thread in the five ton forum I showed how I put a winch on my M52. I had to buy the PTO takeoff and the PTO shaft as well as the control levers from TNJ Murray in New JerseyDover Del. The process is not that hard but it is going to take a bit of work and time to get one...
Mike the test 7 is the best one yet... Don't forget it took God 7 days to make the world so it seems fit to go with that one. The real issue is if I took the picture and it gets watermarked by someone else who cares if it shows my screen name on our site.
You guys are the best moderators on...
If your truck is a multifuel link this to the alternate fuels links and see if the bees can add to your source of fuel.... Well that was just for fun but the problem is getting them to leave or they must die. Since they seem to have made this a home caulk it and see if they come out somewhere...
Boy that NSN winch looks just like the ones we ordered for our units in Iraq and some of them got lost in shipment. Was that a GL bid item? Just wondering because we were trying to find them the whole time I was there.
RE: Re: RE: Some More Gun Truck Pics
Great pictures and I see the gunners see through shield have evolved too. When I was in Iraq in 2005 we weighed one of the UAH's coming out of Balad with crew weapons and full of fuel it weighed 13,750 pounds. The HMMWV was deemed too heavy back when they...
RE: I hope you don
Looks great and welcome, I love the British people and thanks for sticking with us in this war too, it is only appropriate that the British are in Basra since they freed that town in WW II. God bless you and visit often.
Chris:
Don't give it away I am praying that the LORD will give you some bonus or another blessing that allows you to keep it. I kinda wish I had kept the old CJ that I took my first son for many a ride in, when I think back now I almost gave it away for what it was worth. Of course we all know...
That sculpture was made by an Iraqi man who understood the real issue in Iraq. It is too bad others do not understand what we are fighting for.
Fort Hood is a great place, I was in the First Cavalry Division from 1988 to 1993 and Fort Hood has everything a Soldier needs to live and train for...
Very lucky to get this one
That is so cool bet that truck will outlast most of us. The real shame is that more of the duece family of trucks did not make it back from Kuwait during OIF. Look at this picture two weeks later they were all cut up for scrap metal in Kuwait. I cried.
Yours...
