    MN rally at Drive A Tank Kasota, MN

    Hello every one, I think Minnesota needs an MV rally and I couldn't think of a better place to have it than at the HQ of the world renowned Drive A Tank Inc. How much interest is there? Any one willing to help me get it set up? Any ideas? I had considered doing some thing along the lines of...

    M1070 6x6 Camper?

    I think It would be super awesome. If you are worried about fuel you should not be talking military vehicles any way. Dave is right, HET is no wider than a semi and no taller. I have collector plates on mine so in Minnesota its almost as easy to get around as RV plates. I was going to build a...

    After years of drooling we finally have a SHERMAN TANK!

    Patracy, If by "stamps" you mean NFA "stamps", we have a motto, "will trade armor for stamps" (and vice versa!)

    Well, The day has finally came. We pick up a M4A2E8 76mm WET Sherman. It was built in February of 1945. It has the more powerful 76mm main gun and is powered by twin 6-71 Detroit Diesels, Known as the GM-6046 in the 1940's. After a quick tune up she really moves out for a 78,000 LB hunk of...

    Walker Welcome Home!

    That is probably one of the nicest walkers around, its not over restored and shinny like a collector car. If you figure the HP to weight ratio at its actual weight as pictured, it is equal to the M1 Abrams at combat weight. Abrams comes to 21.43 HP per ton (1500 HP at 70 tons) and that walker at...

We were only moving 55 at 2150 RPM, it seemed slow but what the hey, we were making progress home, Just picked up two...

    M923 frame length

    A 931 is 11'9 after the cab and a 925 is roughly 15'. The cargo is much more because it hangs over the rear, the cargo wheelbase is only 12" longer. Don't forget the spare tire and muffler are behind the cab also.

    M939 winch system specs for hydraulic pump,

    Hey guys, I'm working on two M925 projects, a water truck and a dump. I'm wondering if any one knows the specs on the hydraulic pump or PTO? Looking for something as simple as GPM at X engine RPM, or even pump cubic inches/displacement and I could figure the rest. Also looking for system...

    multicam hmmwv

    I thought about that too, but to be honest I think that if you are going to do a vehicle you really need to up scale the pattern. Kinda like the old 3 color compared to the old BDU's. The spots on a truck are the size of a person. I think the vehicles in multcam or ACU digi seem very busy...
