I’m curious what this means and what the long-term market effect will be.
Thus, I’m concerned about the insurance aspect of military vehicles, and their value increases, in general.
I wonder if it’s a bad sign for the insurance industry yet good for someone else? Besides collectors.
Here’s my...
Looks like you have a later model rKh (NBC recon) vehicle. The contamination marking flags can be priceless to some collectors— I’ve only seen a single marker in private hands, ever. I bet the “squibs” are still in place to launch them. They are electrically-initiated and I’d make sure that...
It’s 90 percent antenna and ten percent radio, as you may know.
I would invest in what the most likely choice for people whom you will be with to use.
With CB your compromise may be antenna length. You can use FM mode, even with a tone, per a recent FCC decision.
GMRS, legally, would mean...
I’ve never been there nor do I know much about it, but why do they make such a big deal over which parish someone belongs to? I’m guessing it’s so people know which church to go to for health and welfare items? I grew up in an Italian- and Polish-American area, with only three large Catholic...
Not sure what this has to do with the FMTV family, but...
In Massachusetts at least, where I was an officer, a LEO with the proper training could revoke a vehicle’s inspection on the spot and request a tow for a vehicle that didn’t meet standards.
In all of my years and with all of the...
I do business with Hagerty with a sort of “agreed upon” value. I claimed the value, sent about a dozen photos and a few receipts, and they agreed.
I’ve never had to make a claim.
Coverage is certainly not minimal collision but also not as much as a daily driver gets. I pay about $170 a year...
Did the handle actually break, or pop off the little “ears” that should be held in place by screws? Mine jumps out of the screws often. A photo would help.
The levers are as follows, left to right, to the best of my memory, from top position to bottom:
Intermediate axle differential (on/off)
Transfer case (high forward/low rear)
PTO (off/on?)
Bed dump control (up/neutral/down)
...BUT...
Earlier trucks had the intermediate switch on top of the...
Are you sure they are fire extinguishers and not DS2 sprayers?
The decon spray bottle would contain DS2, which is caustic, I forgot if it’s closer to hypochloric acid or bleach.
(Neat fact that most people would never guess: instead of a pull pin to secure the handle against accidental...
It’s a remote-controlled (note the VHF low band antenna) holder for rail-based targets.
Here’s some info on the manufacturer:
