Any Military Vechicle groups here in West Michigan? Took my CUCV to its 1st car show last year and met one other MV owner who wanted to get a bunch of us local guys together. I could not find any local military vechicle groups so I am starting a MV branch off my local car club.

[QUOTE=There was also an experimental aluminum trailer for the mite, the XM585E7. I believe that seven were built and I know at least one survives today. Jim Gilmore has it. Where can I see a photo of a XM585E7 trailer? I have a trailer I can not ID. I started a thread in the trailer section...
