    Any salvage yards or reasonable part In Pacific NorthWest?

    Technically speaking, Idaho Motor Pool is on Interstate 84, (not 95) and located at exit #3. Alex's place is right up against the interstate, you cannot miss it. It'll be the place with about 30 dueces and other related rigs. He has, or has connections to find, whatever you might need. Alex is...

    New Member from Idaho

    Ahhhh, another Idaho member. I think we are up to three or so. Welcome. I live in Caldwell. If you need anything close, let me know. Alex and I are good buddies (over at Idaho Motor Pool-He's been in a couple of my weddings.). There are a bunch of MV's in your area, for some reason it's tough...

    You might want to tone down that paint on that battery box bolted on the drivers side running board.

    State Farm says they want my business

    I am seeing a pattern here...State Farm. I, too, have State Farm on all my MV's. I think it's about $70 a year. Minor (relatively speaking) restrictions such as parades and special events only, must be restored to look "original". Fit's my use prefectly. As does the price. Kinda strange...

    Carrier terminal box?

    After reading, studying, buying, and learning a bunch about Goats, I saw something today I have never seen or even heard of before. Alex at IMP got a Goat in the other day. He called me and want to come look it over. I noticed a box (about 4 inches wide, 8 inches tall, and 3 inches deep) bolted...

    What is this APC?

    That is Alex's drag racing British FV. One year at our MV meet we raced it against an M114. iI don't remember which one won. I have driven that one a gaggle of times.(wrong-hand drive is strange!) I live 20 minutes down the interstate from there ( towards Boise) . You should have stopped...

    Any one use sea foam engine treatment

    I have been told it is the best thing to put into a diesel that is probably going to sit a spell. Long term fuel preservative, much like Stabil, only for diesel. Keeps the cheesy cud from growing. NOW,for a semi-related dumb question. Is there anything I can SAFELY use to un-gunk the carbs on a...

    Me Vs Windsor Township - Victory

    Idaho is standing beside you in this. We don't have NEAR the problems I hear about in the eastern U.S. That being said, this must be addressed and stopped. As Barney Fife would have said "nip it in the bud!". Having taken on city hall several times over the years, I have learned, in your...

    HILL AFB

    A fellow deputy and I dropped off a DRMO helicopter we had at Hill AFB. We were in civilian clothes, but had our badges and id's on (in plain view). They had us open up everything (hood, coolers, etc) before we went inside the guardshack with our DRMO paperwork. They took about 10-15 minutes...

    Are M113s and M114s related?

    Getting back to the original question of the M113 and the M114 being related..............they are! Both are always owned by someone with copious amounts of MONEY.

    Sorry, for the record..."lens", and "taillight"...............spellcheck, bah-humbug.

    M416 trailer Parts availability

    Well worth the money ($350, I think was the price), based on the photos provided. You should be able to find a rear panel and get it welded in. As far as the two different lights usually found on M416's, find a picture of a rear of an M151 (or M151A1) , and then find a picture of the rear of an...

    M1007 Suburban CUCV Conversion

    I remember seeing a bunch of GI suburbans at Mountain Home Air base, as well as Gowen Field (Boise Idaho) during the 80's and early 90's. The AF ones were usually painted blue, the ones at Gowen were almost always plain OD, (a few I remember were tan). They had the GI front ends, shackles...
