I'm in Ohio and have had USAA for my regular vehicles and home for nearly 30 years, but I've never insured a military or antique vehicle with them. I'm looking to buy an M35 that's currently registered as an antique, just wondering if any of you have any experience with them insuring your MV's.

I'm all in for the freedom seed giveaway!

I should also add that box crib weigh capacities are based on having a solid layer of 4x4's on the top, with the weight evenly distributed across all the 4x4's for maximum weight capacity. If the weight is just on one 4x4 in the stack, it will not hold the maximum weight. The weight has to be...

NAPA has them, and places like Auto Zone or other automotive parts places should have them. Or you can use 4x4 box cribbing. You might be able to get 2' pieces of 4x4's from a company that installs decks as scrap pieces.

Basic pine 4x4's are rated for 12 tons when used in a box crib. As an individual stack, (generally no more than 2 high) 3 tons.

Military tires suck on wet concrete. And I'm betting that they just assumed that they didn't need to train on driving that specific truck.

As for rule #1, that depends on the vehicle, the road, and the conditions. Many vehicles bigger than a HMMWV are DESIGNED to go faster than 45 mph, and in some places, it's dangerous to go that slow, ie, the interstate.

Ferro isn't lying, I'm the guy that scrapes them up. I think we had one 3 mile section of heavy main line with two NS tracks and one CSX track that averaged one person hit a year in ten years, cars and pedestrians.

I was in a Brigade HHC motor section, and we had one deuce with two 300 gal. fuel pods, and a trailer with another pod in it. That's it. I think one year we went to AT with 110 vehicles in our motor pool, and that's the only fueling capability our unit had. We had a unit that would set up fuel...

Somebody needs to be in JAIL. Actually, a BUNCH of people need to be in jail for this. This "Colonel" needs to lose his pension as a minimum. Heck, you might as well have gone with a beefed up M-151A2, with what that Growler piece of crap was.

Oh I certainly wouldn't modify a truck that rare, I just don't like the design.

That just looks like a really inefficient design. I like the shop truck we had in my motor pool better, it just had high sides on it, with fiberglass lining under the canvas. The inside had cabinets and work benches on both sides, and the rear was framed in with plywood and a steel door.

That's what I was afraid of...Maybe I'll try Craigslist or Fleabay and take my chances on getting something that's hot or a serial killer...

Anyone know of a reasonably priced 24v charger with enough juice to start a deuce with a failing battery? I'm going to sell my deuce (as a parts truck) but it doesn't have enough juice to start it. I want to be able to have it run for any potential buyer, but I don't want/need an expensive...

You might do better to find some 5" hard suction hoses, and just order a 4 1/2" to 5" adapter. I believe you might have more luck finding old civilian 5" suction hose than 4 1/2", which I've never really seen.

Looks like a Malibu Barbie tank... maybe for when she gets cranky...

Yeah, what he said. Don't make an Ash out of yourself.

Russians aren't exactly smart when it comes to driving. Watch a couple of videos of Russian driving and you'll wonder why they aren't still living in caves... I had a friend who visited one of the Southern Russian former territories and he said on average, it was normal to drink 12-18 shots a...
