    New toy I just got

    You know what I always wondered about the Blazers - both the military and the civvy ones : what is going on with the busted rear windows on them? Almost every one I have seen in person either had a missing rear window, or it wouldn't roll up/down. I have a hard time believing that out of all...

    MadDawg's M37 gun truck project

    Well, it's almost Spring, the freezing weather is over and the tarp got taken off the truck today. Will have to get my ass in gear if it's to be done before Aberdeen. PLUS - I decided the rotten rear floor is going to need replacement, the armor is sinking through a couple spots where the...

    1917 Machinegun Cart....WW1

    Pretty interesting. There aren't many WW1 things left around, thanks for sharing the pics! It's hard to imagine the schemes and bad ideas that folks had early in the days of machineguns when we were coming up with all sorts of bad ideas, well at the time they seemed pretty good. Remember the...

    M2 Burner Units Circa 1993

    If you don't read the manuals, you will get an impromptu course in bomb making. Ask me how I know.

    Top End Maintenance/Ol'Rusty 10 Ton

    Lookin' nice, Dirt! That engine looks too good for the rest of the truck - you'll have to do something about that when you get her running! ;)

    Anyone near newton NJ?

    You got me about 20 years too late. I grew up in Sussex Cty., NJ, but as soon as I could bail from the Garbage State I left....

    WTK did the marines in Vietnam use M332 ammo trailers

    I have seen a couple pics of M42 Dusters and M113 APCs towing M332 trailers in Vietnam. So, yes, they were over there.

    John Winslow Sales

    Never dealt with John, per se, but I have dealt with Pete (the yard guy) several times. Two big thumbs up on this end.

    testing the PRC-25 and PRC-77 radios

    Well, got the test bench, well ok it's the dinner table, set up the other day to test a few PRC-25 and PRC-77 radios that customers wanted me to realign and test out, make sure they were good functioning radios. I have all the tools needed to test these out, but it is a complicated process that...

    picture resizing in classifieds?

    When I post pictures to the forums, it doesn't matter the size of the pic, the site seems to resize and make it more manageable. However, when I upload a pic in the classifieds, it kicks it back and says the pic is too big. Can we get the resizing feature for the classifieds too, please?

    Help understanding GRA-39's

    Ditto what CARNAC said. They are much useful in this age when there could be the potential for signal triangulation, and the enemy possibly using heavy artillery to wipe your grid square off the map. They can actually be used up to 2 miles from the CP using standard 2-wire commo field wire...

    XM211 junk yard

    I'm sure there are a few M211 owners here who can use some odds and ends in parts. Buy it, save the parts you can, and junk the rest. Some off-roaders might be happy with the axles, all else fails....

    It's green and funky looking- but what is it?

    Someone put a bathtub on four spare tire donuts. There's a word I'm thinking of when I look at this idea. It's three letters long, starts with G and rhymes with RAY.

    Stuck Budd Nut

    Another vote for the geared lug wrench. Most times it works wonders. After that, a 1" impact should knock it off. If neither of them do the trick, THEN the hot wrench.
