    Cant find 3 color camo pattern for my lmtv m-1078

    There's TB 43-0209, published 31 OCT 1990, with an update in 1991. That seems to be the last version (again what I mentioned before). I can't find anything listed as TM-4570. Keep in Mind, I'm looking at the current system, not historical.

    Cant find 3 color camo pattern for my lmtv m-1078

    So, last I knew, the TB for painting and marking of Army equipment expired, and hadn't been replaced. Now, that was in the 2010-2011 time frame. But I had reached out to the PM since I was trying to justify the adding of the 3" 5-point star to all our vehicles. I never got a response while I...

    M880 Fuel Problems: Welp - I'm Out of Ideas

    I'd say it's the carb as well. Not sure what, but if you've fixed or replaced everything up to that point, then it's gotta be what's next.

    M931A1 Gun Truck tribute, perhaps.

    I think there is a Doyle book on the gun trucks of OIF/OEF. But my library is literally a pile of books right now, so I can't help you out with more than that. Attached are some old pics of some modified gun trucks that I have saved. There was a thread on here somewhere IIRC.

    M1101/M1102 Trailer Body Panels

    Honestly, I'd recommend against this, unless the sales person is ok with it. After seeing what happened in the licensing thread when someone was named, we don't want to get this salesperson in trouble.

    Dang, no one took a picture of my truck?! I can't believe it! First, MicroJeep deserves a huge round of applause for doing the cooking. Even if Garbee is here next year, we have to share that. OVerall, it was great meeting old and new friends. Lance, I loved your pup, but can't wait to...

    Denton NC Spring Rally 25-29 April 2018

    I will be there, but sadly will probably only be pulling OD Green Iron. M38 will never make the trip. M880-1 (the avatar) is puking gas out the carb and I'm just not comfy with it. M880-2 (the ebay pickup) is alive, but I have no time behind the wheel, and I don't trust it to make the trip...

    M1101/M1102 Trailer Body Panels

    So... the Army determined it was cheaper to replace the whole bed than to procure replacement panels and expend mechanic time cutting and replacing. Any trailer that I knew, that had either bed damage or side/front body damage just had a new bed ordered. Not the best for us as...

    TM's and general experience with Military Cat dozers

    Absolutely makes sense that the military wouldn't have every variation & flavor in theater. That makes for a much larger and complicated logistics tail. If each machine has specific parts for it, then you have to have those parts in stock, contracts to procure those parts, and have them...

    M38 numbers and markings..

    I'm assuming you mean US Army and US Air Force, since the USAF is part of the US military? No. The US Army and USAF did not automatically associate. It will depend on the installation. What in the world are you trying to say here?

    M886 wheel question

    I'm not sure. I'm under the belief that Ford 8 lug fit... I think about half of my 16"s are "fords" even though they look pretty much the same.

    Vehicle inspection before purchase?

    Vehicle inspection before purchase?

    No, GP stores vehicles in other locations. That is DL Dispo for Ft. Bragg, but it's not where the trucks are. Also, remember, this is an active duty military installation. As such, NC DLs that are not 'enhanced' are not valid for entry under the RealID act. You must have federal government...

    HMMWV Maaco Paint?

    As I've been watching Samcro on YouTube, Remember that MAACO is a franchise, and just like Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, quality can differ. Personally, I love the Behr paint job on my truck. I need to go back over it, between touching up, doing a better prep, and repainting. But, It'll be worth...
