    Not happy with the new purchase so far.

    Wow. Thanks for the update. I'll tell you what - I've heard good things about Alfa, then I've heard bad things. This is probably one of the worst ones I've heard so far. I have only ordered spare parts for my M-725 from Alfa, no trucks. Their shipping was prompt, but I will say this: the...

    On the way home tonight...

    I've seen a lot of flatbeds going up and down I-81 recently with HMMWVs on board, most with that new looking rear cargo cap. Both in woodland camo and desert. Guess it's a popular option now on military issue HMMWVs...

    M35a3 wheel

    That's a gorgeous rig you have there, breelanr. One of the cleanest I've ever seen!

    Hmmmm, 5-ton RV?

    THAT'S a big rig! Looks a lot bigger than an S-180 shelter that the deuces carry. Almost as big as a CONEX container....

    PM sent on the high speed tractors book, Mr. Doyle!

    Five ton deck and ladder.

    I potentially see a problem though with a couple things. Since you welded the plate to the bumper and the front fender support, you're going to have fun if you ever need to take the front bumper off. Also, I would've definitely used square/rectangular stock or steel mesh for the steps. Round...

    finally

    Looks like that Moose could use a new paint job! Keep us posted if you do any mods or repaints, we love pictures here!

    Winch data plate

    I got an email from him this past week about M725 data plates. He does exist!

    next project-WW2 jeep

    That would be a neat project - those little CJ2s and CJ3s are really hot items now, a lot of collector interest in the early CJs.

    M114 (modified)

    That's a nice APC. Lots of updates, I see! Oh, my dreams of owning a tracked vehicle. I will never make enough to realize my dreams...

    Wrecker Owners, Stand up and be Recognized!

    Rizzo, what type of siren is mounted on the top passenger side of your M108? I've seen a pile of those at Colemans and wanted to get one for my ambulance.

    Amber LED Warning lights

    Bjorn, you got a pic of the mounting holes underneath them marker lights? I have some holes cut in the rear of my -725 body that look like they were some weird kind of lamp, but they may have been exactly like yours.

    mule PT in reverse for Ian!

    Now you gotta film it in "low combat" mode, with the steering column folded down low and you hanging on for dear life, inching it along. I've seen that on TV with a Mule somewhere before...

    Info/Pics needed of M8/M8A1/M8E2 tractor

    Yeah, I saw that site too, but the pic of the Sam Winer one is new to me. rd_a : Got the pics from that site, now you know by searching the web that there is relatively little on this MV. From what I understand, most served overseas during the Cold War, and most never came back. They were...

    Just how big is an M35A3?

    It never ceases to amaze me the number of clueless individuals (like reporters) that complain that "our troops are using trucks over 40 years old". What they don't realize is, if it works - WHY CHANGE IT?

    My M756 pipeline truck bed

    Looks like a worthy candidate for a resto, though! Didn't realize the pipeline deuces also had the option of a cargo body as well...

    Info/Pics needed of M8/M8A1/M8E2 tractor

    This was the tractor based on the M41 Walker Bulldog tank chassis that was used to tow the Skysweeper AA cannon back in the 1950s. Most served in Germany or Japan in the post-WWII theatre of ops. Very few survive, and my efforts to find any information on them has since been fruitless, except...

    We need more Steel Soldiers rallies in 2007!

    Yup, looks like I'm gonna have to drive 2 days to get to the next DDay Rally. Let's see, how many X-rated film girls can fit in my MV. I wonder......

    Jim Thorpe PA show in Feb 2007 - anyone going?

    RE: Like to go I'm probably going to be wearing a MadDawg308 nametag, I can make one up easily at work on the laser printer. Think nametags with your SS name on it would work out well for us...
