So by now we all already know that the Army and some other branches mandate their guys wear helmets / cvcs when driving tactical vehicles. And many of us will be familiar with the controversy over exactly how stupid it is to require a guy to wear kevlar to move a hmmwv six feet in the motorpool...

WS does indeed sell CARC paint (that's where I buy mine), but Hentzen came up with the powder. I'd start by calling them. You haven't stated your application but my guess is you want something to match - in which case it may be simpler for you to find a PC supplier that just matches the paint...

Something tells me the bean counters will catch up with that eventually, years from now.

I own both systems. They are, quite simply, the best thing ever. If your headsets are halfway decent your passengers will really thank you. Yes, it is easy to install. If you do not intend on interfacing with civilian radios, it is really easy. No, the VIC-1 and -3 components are not...

No kidding. Caching. I'm torn on the LMTVs. On the one hand if they stopped coming out mine would be worth more. But if they stop coming out parts get harder to find. So my asset is worth more but my operations costs go up and fewer people know about them. I think I determined that the more of...

Doesn't a seizure require an action on the part of the civilian government though. I mean it's one thing for congress or a state body to seize some land or property or your guns through the enactment of laws but another for the DOD to seize US civilian owned property just because they feel like...

+1 for just having the hoses made, that's a good idea. That goes for a lot of things on the trucks, including the hydro hoses, a lot of the air stuff. If/when you crack a transmission inter-cooler hard line like I did, you can spend forever trying to find an original one, or you can just have...

Seems like for the trouble of doing that properly one could just paint it again. And if you do gloss it, that's more of a mess to clean up when you do want to paint it again. What's nice about CARC is you can CARC over CARC, you don't have to take it off, which means basically the prep is...

Oh is that one of the conditions? TIL.

It's not just the refund on the purchase price, imagine all the other thousands we pour into the trucks. It's settled - they can't have my LMTV back! seriously though I kind of wonder at their legal standing here. I mean SF97, EUC, the transaction is completed. I don't see why the gov't has a...

Wow. Very curious to see how the details of that play out...

I'll second that. Even PPG DX440 and lots of scrubbing had trouble lifting up thick grease residue I had in one of my CARC trailer projects. Spilled gear oil from a can that tipped over in the bed.

Maybe if he can make the truck smell like a baby they'll finally understand our obsession...

I thought about removing them, then I just imagined getting stuck some day and having a guy come out in a wrecker, and wanting to lift or pull the truck out of the stuck... either on just one side or one corner. And boy then wouldn't I be kicking myself.

... and whether or not dust sticks to it

I wonder if I was that member. I used to use a sigtronics transcom system, the portable one. I have it still sitting here actually, I haven't used it in years. Used it with Jeeps, that kind of thing. I have an analyzer and the SWR on the Harris pretty much comes out to what they claimed in the...

Welcome from the PNW! Grats on the truck... This is just how it starts...

The way it was explained to me is the ropes were optional for the route. So I didn't bring any. And they are not optional. I don't know what condition the fixed ropes they had left were, but, my understanding is they were knotted (re your question about getting up). Personally I have a proper...

Thanks for the review! I certainly won't buy a pair until I have an opportunity to try them out first-hand.
