I'm gonna have to dig up where exactly I read the part where it says it is "radar absorbent".

Ok, here is a good one. I have heard and read somewhere that true military paint is "radar absorbent". If that is true, does anyone know to what extent, and how exactly they make it so? Is there some additive? I have zapped military rigs driving down the road with my radar (yeah right, I...

Ok, I am going to give away, (for free) one of my long time dreams.... Take some obscure bed off of something strange, hang a couple of jerry-can brackets , some Nato tailights, and paint it flat black with bits of OD.......Then paint on some oddball markings, in some unreadable...

I have been looking for one of those antenna tower trailers for a few years now. I had a chance to get one in pretty good condition, but it was all the way on the other side of the US. I know there are the smaller ones built on an M762 chassis, and recently found out there were also ones built...

Call Alex at Idaho Motor Pool, located at Fruitland Idaho. He offers a bobbed duece, either one you supply or one of his. I think he has quite a few to choose from right now (not bobbed yet) 208-452-5335. He might be at the SHOT Show for the next few days, though. Tell him Bill B. from Steel...

Man I am impressed!!!!! I wil be at Lodi, with the other Idaho guys. We'll be where we usually are, with all the patches, ribbons, and medals. I sure would like to see the Jones-mobile idle by. I just want to crawl around over and under it and be amazed.

No, I don't have any pictures of it (they are all over the web), he is going to need parts.

A friend of mine just brought home a Case VAIW in pretty good condition. I guess it is some type of runway tug. It needs a little love in a few areas, particularly the rear fender and the front plate (both missing). Anyone know of any sources for parts for this thing? It is kind of cool, in...

Is the exhaust pipe facing forward a regional thing?

Most military shields that mount up on a cupola, such as an M113, M114, early HMMV are made out of either T1 or M2 plate. Both are a tempered/hardened plate steel. Not the plain AISI-SAE 1018 steel you would buy if you went to the local steel supply place and bought a piece of ordinary plate...

You guys are under the impression that the suspect kids and their parents are going to have the same values as "us". I get called to these type of things all the time. Most of the time, the kids learned their habits from their parents. That means if you were to march over and advise the...

ROPS kits kind of made things worse. They made the MUTT somewhat top heavy, so it would actually roll a little easier, but protected you more in the process. If a person drove it with some sense, it was /is no more prone to rollover than any other vehicle of the same size and stature. Stories...

A bunch of good looking MV's. Now what's this about somebody ( I think the word "democrat" was used) threatening to arrest military troops? I am wondering what the legalities are in that? If a soldier (I am under the impression that they were active duty, or National Guard/Reserve) is...

I just checked Fair Radios website, they didn't list a CX-10613. It looked like they had everything else, but not the one I need. The problem is that many people think it is the same as a CX-4720 with a Bendix on one end. Not so, the CX-10613 has a different 4 prong that fits into, for example...

If I may jump in for a moment. I am restoring a Gama Goat as a communication model, (without an S-250 shelter). I have sunk no less than 5 various radios, receivers, etc, including a VIC-1 system, into this project. Every time I go to Lodi, or any other show nearby, I bring home a handful of...

I must admit to a little "fun ". Not a really a cop-related thing, but a gawker/concerned/nosey citizen thing. I was gassing up my M151 A2 that had an M416 AND an M762 tailer hooked on.....(yeah its a long setup) at the local busy gas station near my house. A Flyin J, actually. Anyway, some guy...

KEWEL!!!! Every MV I own is tan, or desert cammo...... Looks good!

I am a county Deputy. I drive my MUTT, my 5ton(usually towing an M103 with a searchlight on it), and my Gama Goat, all over the place. Most of the cops from the other agencies don't know it is a cop driving it. If it is one of the guys from the agency I work for, they know its me, and could care...

I happen to be the DRMO officer for our agency. We have an M113 (that had about 6000 miles on it,like new!), and a low-boy trailer with a 5 ton tractor to pull it with. All painted white with our county star and logo. The SWAT team (of which I am a sniper on) gets it for,shall-we-say...

And speaking of reflective tape, I have a couple of rolls of mil-spec white (actually grey-white at night when shined on) reflective tape for sale. They are about 2 inches wide and a little bigger around than a common roll of duct-tape. $18 each plus shipping. (Go to K-mart and price a package...
