So far in Wyoming, my trucks can be registered/titled just like any other truck on the road. I chose to go with Pioneer tags because the only things I do with them is show them off in parades and outdoor displays. I hope and pray all these newcomers to the state mind their own business and leave...

Need more pictures please.🙏

I’ve found it to be almost a guarantee that my batteries will go kaput at the 3 1/2 to 4 year mark. It doesn’t seem to matter if they are use extensively or hardly used at all. I use Walmart batteries almost exclusively. I went with more expensive batteries from NAPA one time and they died...

The oval panel is from a UH-1’s tail boom. It’s one of three access panels on the belly. The other two items are from the lower center console of a UH-1. There are two map/technical order cases. The lower right one in the picture also has the center lower console electrical cover. The cover...

I understand. That’s one of the reasons I’ll probably never move back to CA. Parents left there when I was 3yo and except for a 3 1/2 year tour there in the Marine Corps, I haven’t been back. Best of luck to you, hopefully you can create the truck you want without too much CA poofter.

I’ve never been a fan of bobbing but they are your trucks. You get to choose their fate. What other people think is just so much bad sushi. You don’t have them registered? Do you have their titles? That’s going to be tough to overcome. I’m not familiar with California DOT rules but you want to...

I was assigned to Air Force Space Command back then. We put together a squadron from geographically separate helicopter units and we went to Columbus AFB MS as our staging base. I went on our first days mission upon arrival and it was overwhelming to see all the destruction. Our missions were...

The Marine Corps doesn’t do much identifying of units. The numbers appear to be the truck’s bureau number or BuNo. Every vehicle, fixed wing and rotor wing aircraft have a BuNo. There’s possibly information on the bumpers. If they’re original, they may have identified the unit. If painted over...

From my limited experience, there are a couple times when the split ring can bite. The first is a ring failure during air up. This can be caused by failure to seat the ring properly or maybe failure due to previous damage at some time during its service life. The other possibility is ring bites...

I like the spin on but they’re a bit above my pay grade.

I won’t be using them for my truck. Lead’s a bit too toxic for me to deal with outside of reloading. I don’t plan on using them for anything except maybe for my black powder musket. My question was to see if these are the lead used for that application, or maybe something else? I know that...

Op check good. Started right up with plenty of power.

So Everstart 27’s with 830 CCA will hopefully fit. At least that’s what I’m getting. If it doesn’t work, Walmart allows returns with receipts.

Is the Everstart H6 or H7 correct for the M35A2?

I’m unfamiliar with McMaster Carr. Are they a military supplier? I’ll take a look at their products. Thank you for the heads up.

Success! I entered “plastic cap and plug kit” in eBay. There are multiple sets with a selection of the same standardized plugs the military uses. One thing I need to pass on, in my experience, paint doesn’t stick to these plugs. Again, in my experience, when I used these, I wasn’t concerned with...

I too have a 1009. The antenna holes in my truck needed to be filled until I gathered the materials to reinstall the antennas. I took two oversized grommets, two large washers and a bolt through them which sealed the openings. Looking at your picture, it appears that a common plug was used to...

Not sure where to put this. I thought there was a vehicle spotted thread… Anyway, today was Military Monday at the Cheyenne Frontier Days. In honor of all things military, CFD gathered up a bunch of military vehicles and put on a convoy. My War Wagon led the convoy around the track. For HMV’s...
