    My M880 Thread (pics plus bonus M882)

    it's more like, the guy who sold them didn't look. I didn't look when I dropped them off... oh well. Tires are successfully on, the spare works, and I'll be putting the old ones off the M880 on the pioneer. all works out in the end!

    Issues with SF-97

    There's a metric ton of gun trucks sitting in one of DLA's lots here at Bragg (visible from the road, if you know which one to drive on). I've heard everything from 'they aren't the right model' to 'need demil' to 'becoming range targets' to 'maybe they'll be sold'. I'm hoping as well that...

    Dual whip antennas & parts needed for installation

    Can't believe I missed this... here's my input in no semblance of order: 1. If you have dual whips and a full soft top kit, and you do NOT have the stand off brackets, yes they will rub. However, SOP in the Army was to run your 'antenna retaining clips/rope' from the base of the opposing...

    New to me M1075 and M1074 PLS

    If you're doing a connex, you're either going to need a CHU or a flackrack to put it on... I don't see either in the picture (doubtful that it will come with a rack, CHU... maybe).

    Positive camber on HMMWV 998 rear wheels ?

    A Must Have?
