Darrel Braun.:razz:

My guess is that she was pre-occupied with an electronic device. People like her reinforce my long held belief that the intelligence is being bred out of the human race at an alarming rate.:roll:

I attend college with todays generation and most of them scare the ell out of me. Most of them would fall to the floor in the fetal postion if their phone quit for more than 5 minutes. Most of them can't find their arses with both hands. Most of can't manage to get to a 9:15 class on time (if...

Only once.:shock::shock:

When I was growing up in my Grandparent's house nothing was "child proofed" it was assumed that if you stuck a fork in the electrical outlet and survived the experience that you would have learned a valuable life lesson and not repeat the act. Inherent stupidity is Mother Nature's way of...

I met Glen when I delivered Bighurt's M915 to Nebraska.....he's a stand up guy. This is Steel Soldiers.........it's what we do.

That was a common modification...often used to carry MOGAS (reg gasoline) for stoves before everything was switched to diesel. Some had pumps others just used gravity flow. Some units used a dual tire set up to improve flotation on soft ground. More stable than a Water Buff but still leaves...

They have a high center of gravity and get real squirrilly when half empty....the liquid will roll up the sides of the tank and try to roll it over in a turn. If you have to stop quick the liquid will move forward and try to push the trailer....this is bad news if you are towing it with a...

Alabama does not require a title on a small single axle trailer but as stated above it will come back to bite you if you need to sell it to somene in a state that requires one. Order the SF-97 and chalk it up to the cost of doing business.

OK....I'm not busting your chops here....just making an observation.....because this comes up a lot on this site. How much homework did you do before you bid on the truck? Did you check transportation costs to get it back to your LZ via commercial shipping? Did you check into getting it moved...

I guess Knox is one of those post that have the "Environmania" and requires all fluids to be drained out of a perfectly good vehicles. If they will not even allow you to put oil, transmission fluid and anti-freeze into it then it will have to be winched or pushed onto a trailer or hooked to a...

That's fine as long as they don't put a lot of restrictions on what you do with it. Some collectors insurance will only cover you when using it as a hobby vehicle (parades, shows, back and forth to repair shops). Did you explain to the agent what your intended purpose was? If you...

Depending on mission many units used the CUCV's only if they did not have a GSA (civilian motor pool vehicle) available. Some were only used when the unit went out in the field or were deployed. If the vehicle was in a National Guard or Reserve unit it may have gotten even less use. There were...

Mother Teresa is a sweetie but you don't want to get on her bad side. She has never failed to assist me if it was in her power. And bringing a box of Krispy-Kremes with you to do a recovery never hurts.:mrgreen:

Use rubber bungee cords (tarp straps) to hold the steering wheel in the straight position......saves the problem of jumping out a repositioning them if you make a turn and the wheels try to go the opposite way. Carry at least 20 gallons of extra fuel....the 816 is thristy under load and...

i can't have nothin!!!!!!!!

Murphy loves an optimist.roflrofl

A good time was had by all....including Elmo D. Possum

Ray Patton is a good guy to do business with....he hauls a lot of MV's. You are prob. looking at around 3 bucks a mile or more depending on size. The problem with picking someone off of Uship or other sources is that they may not be familiar with getting on military bases, how to deal with...

Have you considered grafting a M916 onto the MK17? In my book the 400 Cummins with either the CAT or Allison tranny would beat the socks off a 800 series 5 ton. The big 900 series have been selling downright cheap lately. My M915 set me back just hair over 4K. Just my humble opinion for what...
