Howdy all! I'm hoping someone can point me toward a salvage yard or some such that has a few pieces of Marston Mat in the plains/midwest. I found a place that *probably* has some in NJ, and private sellers in the far desert areas of California, but nothing in this region. Can be steel or...

Rounded cover thing is a storage container, I painted it seafoam green just because I wanted to, should probably be OD like the rest. Two different varieties of those, this later clamshell style which is much more common, and a small storage locker type bolted to the crossmemebers of the tongue...

Been a busy.....most of a year. Doesn't feel like that long. Was able to determine with some certainty that this trailer came over here the same way the other 3-4 i know of did - captured from the Iraqi's in Desert Storm, they were used behind M151s and Humvees and when those units came back...

Trailer has been recovered, in better shape than I thought based on the photos - much of the odd Russian bits which are difficult to source are present and in good condition. Will periodically update here as it gets torn down and restored.

Yeah, if I had Allen to lean on here for knowledge and ingenuity It'd be here and torn apart by now ;) Going to be bumming a single axle 14' trailer off a friend, just going to take the hit on fuel and drag it down and back. Uhaul were pricks when I spoke to them so not going to throw any money...

well, that's what I'm hemming and hawing over. Running down without my trailer as the fuel savings only towing one way outweighs the rental fee on anything like that. Had been leaning toward trailer but read about the dolly as I said, so came to poll the collected intelligence of the wider...

Question for the folks on here - anyone ever recover an M416/M100/Bantam style trailer with a car dolly? Looking at a 1600 mile round trip to go recover a rough example of the (exceedingly rare in the States) Soviet copy of the Bantam, and it is too wide for my truck bed with built in toolboxes...

It's a really good place to watch the night sky, that's what I was doing last time we were out there. A good pair of binoculars work as well, and are a little less finicky.

I've been working with Aswayze's bunch for over 3 years now, and as such used Steel Soldiers quite a bit without ever really having a reason to join up. Since I'll be at the MV rally at DDAP and may bring a vehicle of my own I thought it was as good a time as any to change that.

I will be there, may be dragging out an M715 (depends on what else needs maintenance before we can tackle that project).
