Ref the crew cab HEMMT...if anyone could do it Soni would be the man. Having driven many a mile in a HEMMT I can say that the ride is rough no matter where you sit. My thought would be to use a civilian cab over cab and convert the sleeper area into seats but then you lose the low profile if...

Fuel milage on gassers suck but there is a cool factor. If they are on a scrap yard you will have to beat the Chinese scrap price but you would have a unique vehicles even if it is somewhat thirsty. Since there are two of them I'd consider a "rat rod" project on the one with the most issues...

Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Accademy:cookoo:. You are sooooooooo screwed.:lol:

Glad to see the site back up and running. I was in "Steel Soldiers Withdrawal" since it went down. On behalf of the MKT staff I want to personally thank Microjeep for helping out so much. He undertook a less than glamous task and far exceeded standards with it. It's folks like him and...

I have lost control of the t-shirt sale list. If you reserved shirts and can't get here before I'm sold out of your size and color I apologize in advance. I could not get on line to retreive my list until today and by that time sales had been brisk and a lot of people who reserved shirts picked...

I'm going to post here and in the t-shirt thread. I have lost control of the t-shirt sale list. If you reserved shirts and can't get here before I'm sold out of your size and color I apologize in advance. I could not get on line to retreive my list until today and by that time sales had been...

The Menu is somewhat misleading for breakfast...there will be eggs, bacon, grits etc. The complete menu may be posted at the MKT......just sayin.

My last unit had a Sherman that was a "range rescue" but therein lies the tale. I'll change the names to protect the guilty parties but since the principal player is now deceased it is prob a moot point anyway. It seems that a young 2nd Lt Smith in a National Guard Transportation Company got a...

I have two of my wheels disabled and my lights blink constantly. CTIS was a good idea in theory but it was designed by an idiot and built by morons. Unless you do a lot of off roading I would listen to the advice above. I was in a trans unit years ago that had the 5 ton trucks with CTIS. There...

If there is an auto or boat upholster in you area you might check with them. Do you have real canvas (old school cloth) or plastic (new style). Canvas is a bear to work with and a lot heaver than the new tarps. You will need gromets installed for tiedown points.

The Boss Lady and I will be there plus two hungry possums (to be fair they will prob eat scraps being possums and all). I'd figure on 50 minimum. Trust me, I had your feast last year and there will be no leftovers no matter how much you bring.

Nope...I'll be there Wed. Maybe someone will take pity on an electrical defificient old soldier. Joe, I'll take the screw jack thingys. I have some more that need some company. I have no idea what I can use them for but that never stopped me before.

While my unit was mobilizing National Guard and Reseve Soldiers I went to Fort Leonard Wood with my boss (Commanding General) to attend an IED conference. This was when the Iraqis were really doing a number on our vehicles with improvised weapons. At that time the MRAPs were just being fielded...

I haven't checked scrap prices for a while but unless it's over ten bucks per hundred I'l lowball the crap out of the guy. While there may be a few good parts on both trucks I can tell you from experience that it takes a while to sell some stuff. Parting them out takes a lot of effort and...

If we have any electrical gurus out there I need some help with my military tow lights. I bought them and didn't realize a few of the pins that go into the recepticle on the towing vehicle were buggered up. I cut the end off and was going to splice it to another plug but the wires are somewhat...

They are used to put air on a truck that you are flat towing to keep the brakes from locking up. You hook them on the rear glad hands of the towing vehicle and to the front ones on the towee. 12 bucks is a steal. I have a set but for that price I may get some extras.

The Boss Lady is out in the kitchen making "Papa Bear bait" to whit.......cookies of all sorts and designs. They will be doled out at mealtime at the MKT.

I still have the four A3 rims with brand new 395's on them. Got an empty A3 rim also. 2 grand buys all. let me know ASAP since they have to be loaded on the truck.

I have an itch for armor.......but I don't have the scratch.:sad::tank::wreckerman893:

While pulling the radiator can be a PITA replacing the radiator will cost some real money. If something happens and that fan goes into the core you will be screwed, blued and tattooed. Ask me how I know.auaauaaua
