    M34 Production

    I remember the Canadians came down to Camp Grayling Mi. for some joint forces training back in the eighties and they had at least one M34. They also had Military CJ's if I remember correctly. They were carring Sten's also I believe.

    2011 Dayton MVPA Convention Swap, Bringing

    Yeah, I'm leaving from work in the morning so I'm about 20 minutes closer. I gotta get some stuff done around the house so I can only come out and play so much. I'm surprised she didn't have a cow when I told her I was going for just one day.

    2011 Dayton MVPA Convention Swap, Bringing

    Well I told the wife "Okay, you don't have to go, I'll just go all by my lonesome." (BWAAAA HAAAAAA HAAAAAAA!!! She bought it!) So I'll be there Thursday. I'm gonna look for some new steps and mudflaps, don't know if I can afford much more right now. Did a nice swap with Justin from La...

    Brazing cargo bed and other body parts

    I'd actually like to get a Petrogen torch, it uses gasoline and oxygen. We have them on our heavy rescues. It makes it much easier to refill and will cut way thicker stuff than Acetylene. A lot safer and cheaper too.

    Brazing cargo bed and other body parts

    I need to make some repairs to the bed, and the fenders and doors have some bad spots as well. I have an Oxy/Acetylene setup, so I was thinking of cutting out some of the bad spots and brazing in new pieces. I know it would be nice to have a MIG or TIG, but the best I would be able to swing is...

    Distracted driving

    It's probably not the right thing to do, but I'd stop, render any aid needed, and then tell the moron he got exactly what he deserved. And not nicely. My daughter is in the process of getting her license, and the first thing I told her was that she'd done a lot of things in her life, but...

    2011 vin info thread

    Okay, I found 0525 17738. I noticed that same # was also on the ID tag under the contract # block, but I just assumed it was the number that a block of trucks were ordered under.

    Flat Black Deuce?

    Ick. Better get you a Bio hazard suit, and wear safety glasses for when the Bondo starts flaking off.

    Flat Black Deuce?

    I like the natural wood look on the troop seats, that's how I plan to do mine. Atlthough I want to paint it similar to the green deuce next to it.

    Break the rules and get banned?

    There'd be a lot more room if we deleted all the posts flaming a new guy who broke a rule for the first time. There's no way a new guy is gonna remember every single rule and adhere to it strictly until they've been here a little bit. If someone breaks a rule a few times, say something...

    Distracted driving

    I've seen a lot of stuff about texting and cell phone usage, and a lot of people wanting to ban those two things. But they are just hot buttons in a much bigger problem. There's a LOT of stuff people do that's just as bad, driving with fluffy in your lap, putting on eyeliner, reading the...

    Bridge weight markers

    I don't think the vast majority of soldiers have a clue how they work, I know we were never trained on their use, even in convoy ops.

    Bridge weight markers

    Well I should've known, that seems like a real dumass way to figure weight classifications. Seems like a better and simpler way to do it would be to just post a weight limit on the bridge. Every time you put a different load on the truck it weighs different. You'd have to change your plate...

    Bridge weight markers

    I'm not able to find any info on what the numbers on the data plates mounted on the front of MV's mean. I assume it tells the engineers what certain vehicles weigh so they aren't allowed to cross temporary bridges that can't hold them, but they could just stencil weights on vehicles if that's...
