For other guys in the area: We are meeting at Cooks Garage restaurant on 6/2 (next saturday) at 2pm. John, for some reason I don't have the option to add you as a friend (I can only follow/unfollow you). I sent you a message with he meet-up info (message from Chris Tiedemann)

An update to my last post: I moved Lubbock, TX in November of 2017. I'm trying to put together a little lubbock area military vehicle lunch or dinner meet-and-greet.

Today while out & about on patrol at the airport I was able to snap some up-close pictures of one of our crash trucks. Tire size: 24R21....CRAZY tall!!!

ooooo 10ton!! Those are sharp rigs. I have been hunting the cargo variant, M125, for years now...but they are rare birds

I moved to Lubbock 8mo ago. We went through Silent Wings museum about 4months ago. It's still AMAZING. Their Jeep exhibit is awesome and well restored. Thanks for the shout-out!! I wish we could have met in person

I come bearing bad news. The Police Chief did not approve my days off so I'm SOL on this years rally. I'll be living vicariously through y'alls pics/vids. Stay safe out there!

My vacation request has been submitted. I'll know in a few days if my work/boss blesses me burning a few days off to attend the rally.

awesoem mod!!! thanks for the info & pics

I just spoke w/the GF. Were coming to play this year (our first year to attend). Were driving down on 23rd and heading home Sunday due to her work. M35A2 unless I get my M38A1 engine rebuild completed between now and then...which probably won't happen.

I hit another (albeit minor) setback with the Jeep. It turns out that in the last few months while my jeep was at the mechanic (for the engine rebuild) it has not been touched by the mechanic...not one bit. So today I drove the 2hr back to his shop, picked up the jeep, and brought it down to...

Awesome!!

the airport ARFF guys did some fire training today in their pit. their training area has a metal full size plane shell with nozzles to squirt aviation fuel inside/around the "plane". I was able to snap a few so-so cell phone shots of two of the rigs getting in some practice. enjoy!

I come bearing good news. After 4-5-ish months of physical therapy & working with my orthopedist I was cleared for police-work last month. I put in an application with several local agencies (Lubbock Sheriff's Office, Lubbock Police Dpt, Texas Tech Univ. Police, and Lubbock Airport Police)...

welcome to the madness. I grew up in central florida (union park area outside of Orlando)

Here is an overhead console design I'm going to copy for my M35A2. It might also give you some ideas for your 5-ton
