Tires back from the tire shop. Two were flat by the time I got them from the tire shop to the trailer. Hope is that it was bad valve stems. Re-inflated and put on trailer. Now it's wait and see. With the tires back on, we're calling this a finished project. There's still a few loose ends to...

To answer a couple of questions I've Received: The vehicles you see parts of in the backgrounds, are a 41 Dodge Weapons Carrier, and a XM-161 Muttvee, Experimental. (no, not an alley cat). I will be doing a thread on our various Military ATV's shortly.

Ohhhhhh Suuuuuuuurrrrreeeeee Make the MV Collecting Hobby even MORE expensive why don't ya :grin::grin:

Love the Warthog. They had Hogs come back to base during Desert Storm, with 1/2 their wing shot off, entire engine pods blown off, but the pilot perfectly fine, aircraft still fully flyable, and back in 100% condition in a matter of days. Funny thing is, True Military Experts have been saying...

Looks good. Where did y'all take it? The San Jacinto or Trinity?

Tires & other stuff update for our Karcher: The NEW tires are over at the tire shop right now gettin mounted. Word of warning if you order them from the same place I did,,,,, TUBES NOT INCLUDED. But tire shop said they could order tubes, no problemo senor. I declined the offer of the chrome...

I'm was aware of exchange programs with various countries, including the Soviet Union, (whups I mean RUSSIA) having sent units to the NTC at Ft. Irwin Ca, for war games. I was un-aware of the U.S. agreeing to attend the Commie (whupsie, there I go again) event. But I seriously doubt, that the US...

Not a chance in "hades". The "games" you refer to is actually a semi-annual weapons bazaar the Russians put on to try and sell their "export version" weapons systems to foreign countries. There will be, of course, U.S. Military Observer's there, just as they would be at the Paris Air Show...

Does it have a data plate with the VIN # on it? Or have you been able to find the VIN in some other location? We haven't been able to find a Vin on ours yet, but the search continues

Final work has been done on coms. We've got the Siren in, Radios and Sirens are wired up. Even got the Stereo in. Now, remember, this was the 80's. We were high tech!! Stereo had BOTH AM AND FM. Even came with a CASSETTE PLAYER. No more 8 Tracks for us. NO SIR!! (Radio was stored behind the...

Always happy to help out other MV'ers, as I have been helped by the others here on SS. Our Karcher came from a College in West Texas. They obviously got it from GSA. Whether THEY got it out of Little Rock or not, I have no idea. The college is in Tornado Alley, and they have an active...

Actually,,,, in the 80's,,, they DID. It was a hold over from Viet Nam times. It was officially closed in 1985. That's why I was wondering if anyone was able to identify the Beret Flash. NDT, looking at the footage, I was thinking your area for the shots with the low water crossings etc. Looked...

Try Northern Tool and equipment. They used to sell Copies of the G.I. Gas Can, Metal, but red in color.

Happy Days!!! For any one else out there looking for replacement tires. Found'em!!! Delticom, North America, Web Site is Tires-Easy.com. Saw a listing for an upcoming auction on GL, for the tires. Looked up the listing, found THEIR manufacturer's name, and then found a distributor here in...

Oh Lord!!! THE PLAID!! THE PLAID!!! Enlisted in January of 80, so I thankfully missed the "Preppie" era of clothing fashion. Anyone catch what the flash was on the black beret's? I was a Black Hat at Benning, and I remember something about them filming a commercial at Benning in 84/85 Time...

Got the Comms in. Had to go to plan "B" on the Antenna Co-Ax Cables. Wanted to run them UNDER the rubber floor mat to the radios. Unfortunately, there simply wasn't enough slack in the cables to do it that way and actually connect to the radio. Plus, even just the little itty bitty cables were...

Roy/Gerrykan, thanks for the info and the link over tog503. All I can say is WOW, and VERY cooool. Thanks for the info.

I have what appear to be 2 British WWII Jerry Cans. The 1st as shown in pictures, is dated 1944, and Marked with Maker's mark and the British Arrow. THE SECOND CAN, however, is IDENTICAL to the 1st EXCEPT, there are NO manufacturer's markings, or date any where on it. AND it has the U.S...

Well.... still plugging along. And fighting with the floor mat. Got the antenna wires all snuggled in, and the Passenger's Side seat put back in. For those of you who've asked, we couldn't find a standard grommet large enough to fit that hole either. We used a Valve Cover Grommet instead. It...

Well...... We're still fighting with the floor mat. Frustration is not the accurate word for it, but it comes closest. Freddy Krueger saw my face after I stopped for the day, and ran for his momma. We've got the driver's side seat back in, and have got the mat around/over the shifter with all...
