    Need cargo trucks in Zachary,La

    Hooked up and ready to haul to Ke5eua Mike ready to haul people. I went back home to make sure the second M923 was ready if needed. It was raining when these photos were taken, it started Thursday and is continuing through the present (Sat. afternoon). I've only had about 13 inches, but...

    Air Force CUCV

    If you're asking about the flight line vans, it's a 2001, the body was made by Grumman Olson on a cutaway van chassis. Other non-CUCV military vehicles are discussed in this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?148135-Government-owned-civilian-vehicles-used-by-US-Armed-Forces

    Don't know how I missed this thread either. I should have at least one truck available.

    Air Force CUCV

    As much as I would like to call my Air Force Flight Line Van a CUCV, it is not a 24 volt system suitable for field tactical use as other CUCVs. Unless it has (or at one time had) a 24 volt plug to jump other tactical vehicles (or be jumped), it probably cannot be considered a CUCV.

    Generator Sizing for 550sqft Cabin?

    Bring in an MEP002 without an enclosure, place it 20' from the property line with the exhaust facing the neighbor's home. When he complains about the noise, remind him you would rather have regular lines run but don't have his permission.

    The NASA Truck

    How is your clearance between the truck rear wheels and the trailer landing gear? My M931A2 14.00 tires contact the landing gear feet when turning.

    M1101

    I think I've got the same rims with the HMMWV tires mounted on 2 of my M1101s. I took some photos, but the site won't let me upload from my computer for some reason. Edit - today it's working!

    M1101

    Sounds like some are getting confused about which brakes are being talked about. The 2 parking hand brakes were off per the OP, as the handles were pointing up. The emergency break-away brakes are actuated by a chain or cable attached to the towing vehicle and connected to a lever on top of...

    M1101

    You don't need a jack with these trailers. Unhitch the trailer, crank the tongue as low as it can go, install the landing legs on the rear and adjust so the foot is on the ground, crank the tongue up until the wheels are off the ground. It should be fairly stable, but do it on flat ground so...

    M1101

    The emergency brake lever should be pointing back rearwards toward the trailer box. If it is pointing straight up, it is in the actuated position.

    2200 mile recovery Wisconsin to Oregon.

    Even though you can go faster, I'd keep the speed to 55 for fuel savings. Buy soft seat cushions or pillows for your butt. Comms for chase vehicle. 3M radio ear muffs, or ear muffs and mp3 player ear buds. Even though the 8.3 engine is quieter, the road and wind noise will be tiring. Do a...
