    Help identifying special tools

    I'm cleaning out the garage and found these special tools that I fished out of a dumpster at a National Guard base that had just turned in its M60 tanks. Guessing they are armored vehicle related, but not sure. Anyone know what they are? Hammer included as a size reference.

    How / what to inspect before buying half track project

    I couldn't find a thread on this, but if there is one, please point me at it and I apologize in advance. Local halftrack for sale. Looks like an M3 in the pictures. No rear armor, no cab, engine stuck, big crane on the back of it. It has the hood, fenders running boards I'm still trying to...

    FYI, using IE8, the ads at the top of the page don't fit

    One of them ends up hiding between the grey steel soldiers banner. When I move down to 75% magnification, I can see them both.

    Deuce center console

    I couldn't find a thread specifically on this topic, so thought I'd start one. If there is another, please point me towards it. I have a second driver's seat I will be replacing the passenger side bench seat with. This will leave me with room to put in a center console. I found a few...

    "New" Hale P250 pump - what to do with it

    Around 15 years ago, the local Navy Reserve Armory closed, and they took a lot of stuff out to the dumpster. I got there after they had cleared out their damage control room, and got a number of interesting bits of rigging, a brand new two man crosscut saw, and a hundred pounds of brass valves...

    Any idea what this "Armor" is?

    I see it on HMMWVs, FMVs, and other wheeled vehicles. A recruiter at a display said it was supposed to protect from shrapnel or fragments, but you know you can't trust recruiters. . It is very thin and light, not sure what it could do. The side channels are held on with adhesive tape, and...

    Help finding HMMWV dealer

    Hello, A couple of weeks ago, I googled for HMMWVs for sale, and came across a dealer who had a number of rebuilt HMMWVs as well as some stripped HMMWVs for sale. I think they were out east somewhere. Naturally, I forgot to save it as a favorite, and can't seem to recreate the google...

    Toyota gun truck build anyone?

    Just wondered if anyon had given any thought to building out a Toyota "technical" gun truck like you see all over the news. If you have thought about it, what are the challenges you have considered? I wouldn't mind having one, but it is down the list a ways.

    Advice on bumper markings - historical

    Trying to decide whether to re-stencil the bumper markings on my M35A2 to match the Deuce I was assigned to drive for 2 1/2 years in Germany in the 70's or leave the markings that were on it when I got it from the Iowa National Guard three years ago. What have you done, or what do you think?

    Hello, I did this in my m35A2 two years ago, and it was a blast. If you are within driving distance, consider coming out next weekend. I know there will be a couple of m1009s in addition to my Deuce. Road Rally Charities

    Mud Coast road rally and M35A2

    Put 180 miles on the truck yesterday, maybe 30 miles paved road, the rest was narrow gravel and Class B minimal maintenance road. Got hooked up with a local group Road Rally Charities who did a a great job of planning and organizing the event. I'll post some pix later on, but I would encourage...
