    Identifying wires by there 'code' - Is there a way to reverse look-up?

    Exactly. 41 and P41 are two completely separate identifiers Cheers

    Identifying wires by there 'code' - Is there a way to reverse look-up?

    Does this help? Should be what your metal tags correspond with. Cheers PS- If you see a black box instead of a picture, click on it, it is a PDF

    CREW DUKE on FMTV?

    "Highest point toward the front" says my recent-service Marine son. I have that antenna's little brother on an M1009 Cheers

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2018 - July VOTE HERE!

    I usually stay out of these, but in this case I'm going to go with, and do a quick blurb for, Amgenerals' vehicle, because I got to examine it in person at the MVPA convention, and reeeealy liked it! Nothing against the other splendid vehicles. The vehicle itself was in great shape, with a...

    M105; Questions about my first recovery

    NV555, that setup looks familiar. Were you the one who loaned me your landing gear handle to crank the leg up when we were picking up mkcoen's M1082 a year or so ago? We were in the LMTV. Cheers

    Military Fire Trucks

    Very cool. If I found an ALF like this one, I'd happily own a red truck! Cheers

    Once again, I say "How am I supposed to choose just one from amongst those?!?" Cheers

    MVPA Convention (2018) - Louisville, KY

    That MV registration thing is actually not a bad idea. It would work for vehicles registered as HMVs, but not sure how effectively it could be implemented for those with regular plates, and there are a lot of them. The problem there is what the DMV chooses to call the vehicle, and there seems...

    M 35 cargo cover

    Here are a couple of pictures to help illustrate, since pictures convey what words sometimes can't. One is on an M35, the tan one is the current LMTV style. Cheers

    M 35 cargo cover

    Since the diagram is of the old-style 3-piece tarp it doesn't cover one point for the newer one-piece style. Make sure you get the thing on with the front to the front! The front flap is the one with the straps, and it has triangular corners that fold around to the sides and cover the front...

    MVPA Convention (2018) - Louisville, KY

    I do think that National, particularly David Doyle, have done a lot recently to include the "later" M-series vehicles in the MVPA, but it may be too late. An entrenched reputation is hard to shake. Judging by the daily participation on SS, I'd say the interest is still here with the vehicles...

    MVPA Convention (2018) - Louisville, KY

    We (reloader64, Pawnshop, and I) have put our SS user names on our show nametags the last few shows, but I'm thinking that isn't obvious enough from any distance for SS folk to recognize each other. I remember seeing 67Beast at the show (now that I've seen his photo above) but didn't know at...

    MVPA Convention (2018) - Louisville, KY

    I was amazed to hear at the show that MVPA membership has dropped below 5000. :shock: (Later read it in the Supply Line too) When I joined, the membership stood at something like 12,000 but was declining, and had dipped below 10,000 a couple or three years later. I had no idea it was in...

    MVPA Convention (2018) - Louisville, KY

    'Tis mutual, sir! We just didn't manage to bump into each other. :? Not having Dave/MWMules there to sit with at his booth when my knee needed a break didn't help. That seems to be a spot that the SS folk gravitate to during the shows. And Dave, you were missed for more than your 'hanging out'...

    MVPA Convention (2018) - Louisville, KY

    Reloader64, Pawnshop and I were there all three days and missed most of the SS folks, it seems. :( Good show, we picked up some good swag. Cheers

    M931A1 Gun Truck tribute, perhaps.

    Crazy? Sure, but so are the rest of us. I think it would be cool. Not really practical, but great for displays and parades. Go for it! Cheers

    New way 2 remove a run flat on 1102 trailer or what happens when a runflat don't roll

    Glad that event was fairly benevolent for you, Dave! I love the ID panels on the side of the truck. I got a set of those in an S788 shelter I got from a junk yard. They're going on the outside of it. Cheers

    Won't be slinging mud

    Glad you'll be there Sermis. Barrman, you'll be missed. Looks like we'll have a better turnout now that the rain chance has gone from 90% to 3%. Me? I was going anyway - wouldn't be the first show we spent sitting in the back of a covered deuce while it poured outside. :) Cheers Picture...

    Trailer Tongue Decal M116A3 USMC

    In case someone in the future does want to reproduce these, here is one of mine with some of ACO's missing info visible. Manufacturer is Kasel. I'm not motivated enough to reproduce them myself, but if someone else did, I'd buy a few. Cheers
