    Pics I took for State Farm. Snapped these pics in between torrential downpours. Besides, wet CARC always looks better;-)

    wsucougarx's M923 acquisition

    WARNING: LOTS OF PICS AND WAY TOO MANY DETAILS! When I do a thread like this, I basically use it as my build diary. So lots of nonesense details that no one would otherwise be interested in. I like to look back on my builds to see what I did. So forgive me for the rambling on with some of my...

    ABN173's Little Project

    Hey Dale, I haven't searched their pages for your unit's decal but I have used this company for unit decals. I got my friend his 1st Marine Division decal some 10 years ago. It still looks good with min fade. Military-Graphics - Army Unit Decals Page 1

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    To attest to how strong this paint is. I went to pull my truck out of the backyard a couple weeks ago. Well, I wasn't paying attention and cut the corner too sharp. Ended up scraping a 4x4 post down the entire length of the deuce bed. All to show for it, was a scratch. The paint wasn't gouged or...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    The Behr paint does take a bit longer to dry than Gillespie paint. Being a water based paint, I would think allowing the paint to fully dry ought to help it. Though you may have bubbles, once the paint is allowed to dry it should take care of the bubbles....hopefully. But it all depends on how...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Bubbling would indicate the paint was either applied too thick or it didn't have enough time to dry (no fault of the paint). Living here in the PNW, my trucks get dumped on all the time. I've had no bubbling of any kind because my paint was allowed to dry.

    Super singles to duals on a 900 series ?

    There's something to be said about the redundancy of duals in the rear. I have some super singles waiting to go on the truck. But I like the duals for now.

    PNW Info Thread!

    Hey guys, I may not be able to make it to Olympia. I'm at 90% status with this cold/flu. However, the the rest of my family got hit pretty good by it. Looks like I'll be playing Corpsman tomorrow and getting everyone patched up and good to go. Probably would be a good time to go and finally look...

    M923 MWO Identification

    OK, I've got a RRAD truck as well. I contacted RRAD to inquire about what they actually do to the M923's. RRAD would typically get all the SouthWest Asia truck (M939's in RRAD's case) and they'd go through them. Among other things, they re-CARC'd all the trucks back to 3 color NATO camo, changed...

    Yah, probably a good thing to get regular plates more anyways. You'll be carrying a nice load in her for your move anyways. Less to explain in case a LEO questions the load and collector vehicle plates.

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Also, you'll get white lil patches on the paint on the interiors. The remedy its rinsing on those as well.

    Thats normal to have the steaks at first. Once the paint gets rinsed, the steaks go away
