And so it continues....
Yesterday I drove it from Hannibal MO to Washington KS.
Today I'm doing the last minute loading and hooking up to the M129A4 and departing for AZ, with a stop in Guymon OK to meet up with 155MM and a stop in Socorro NM to work on a buddy's M923.
It's hot.... can't...
I don't think so. Here's what I'm seeing -
For every MD or CO, we have an ID or TX. TX law explicitly provides for unrestricted titles and on road license plates for M998 HMMWVs that were sold with the offroad stamp....
Granted, the HMMWV sales greatly increased public awareness of the...

M16A1
Conceivably still in service for the M16A2

I know ether is a bad idea in these engines, but....
Starting with a cold engine and glowplugs disconnected, crank it and give it a brief squirt. Just to see....
Edit- oops, I went back and now see you already did this.
Edit again - I would think ether would ignite at the 200 compression...

I would think finding 20 people to pre-order wouldn't be that hard.
On the other hand, if it were viable likely someone would have done it by now.
I guess I'm a minimalist, but i...
