Only three to choose from, that should make the decision easier ...... HA!!!! :shock::shrugs: Cheers

Borgward B2000 personnel carrier. That would be fun to have, I wonder what parts supply would be like. Cheers

All your wires need to drop to 12v, unless you run omni-volt LED lights on the trailers (they have the power converter built in). If you put 24v through 12v bulbs, they will be gloriously bright, but have a life span measured in seconds. If you are somewhat handy with basic wiring, it looks...

The second picture is a Marine Corps embarkation code, it is usually near the right front of vehicles and trailers. As NDT said, C/C is condition code, this refers to the status of a vehicle in use and changes over time as vehicle types get older. In your case E means that the vehicle would...

Pretty incredible job you are making of it! Cheers

Looks like we both answered at the same time! Cheers

Click on their name, you should get a small screen that says "Start a conversation". That starts a PM. Cheers

Great to see her moving! Cheers

I, too, am intrigued by the tactical coke bottle! Cheers

Having several military radios, like you I wanted to be able to legally use them, so a few years ago reloader64 and I decided to get our licenses. We spent about three weeks doing the online study guide, then went to a local ham show where they were giving the tests for free. We both passed an...
