And there are still M939 series trucks in service now. When I left we had a BN with 900 series shelter trucks, they weren't slated to get replaced due to some SNAFU with TACOM. They got on the reset calendar but it won't happen until they deploy and redeploy again (ADA). That should be...

This is Behr 24087, but flat instead of semi-gloss. sprayed just a few months ago (needs at least another coat for me to be happy, got some scuffs and spots that I'd like to firm out before I finish off the MERDEC in the spring).

Might help those who intend to get power to take a pic or two of the power drops and make sure that we have the right "regulations" regarding fires and such. I can add this information to the Facebook event page as well.

Partially because MERDEC was a "unit/commander discretion" paint vs. NATO Standard for Woodland starting in the 80s.

Double check the TMs for "Fording Operations" and "After Fording Operations" to make sure you keep your truck FMC. Thank you all for the hard work! Glad she's treating you well!

That looks great man. I have a line on some 16" solid rims, hoping to have enough to do a total replacement. I don't have to worry about a garage right now... heck, my daily driver only makes it into my parents garage by a matter of an inch or two...

More of the 5 Tons are in use with sustainment/support units. These units are lower in priority to receive the upgraded/up-armored/up-armor ready trucks. The Army doesn't buy 100,000 trucks in one year, they'll by 10k for 10 years (plus a company can only manufacture so many). There's also...

Could have been a few reasons. Some DLA (aka DRMO) require turn-in with fluids drained. This was common to see on GL trucks when they went to auction. It could have also been that it was getting prepped or was in some long term storage and leaked out or could have been drained in search of a...

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Hahaha. That's great, esp the wife going from "heck no" to "here's the keys!" hahaha. Have fun and congrats.

No way can I do it this year, but I do want to do this one year.

I'm really looking forward to this year... and hoping no issues with the M880. Working on tires and rims now. Going to have to figure out the sleeping arrangements. guess I gotta get my butt in gear regarding the whole tarp/canvas setup on the M880.

It would probably be beneficial to lock this thread and move discussion to the 2016 thread. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?148190-Denton-NC-MV-amp-Surplus-Show-2016

philly to NV? that's a heck of a drive... hope your credit card has a high limit! Take notes, take it slow. 55mph max. double check your lights on a regular basis. Post up here as you go, there are plenty of members throughout the US, they can provide assistance and help if there's an...

Some 6x6 require them. Some generators and Trailers require them. It's part of the demil process. I don't foresee it getting changed anytime soon.

That's a nice looking setup. very clean too. Nice job.

Should be an additional switch spot on your turn signal lever... all the way up? I don't have one, so I'm basing it off of my HMMWV use... Keep in mind that the flashers will probably may override your brake lights.

Hope you at least kept the spare! Do you have a larger picture of your profile pic? looks like you got the tanks on there.

You have an enclosed shelter as your box, he has an open bed as his box. Of course they aren't going to be close in weight.

but if you leave the top on it acts like a wing and gives the trailer lift... which means less resistance and better mileage.

As long as you got small back seat passengers, it'll work great!
