    M105 cover question

    You can do it, just make sure you tie up your sides/front/back/ appropriately. My big thing as BN Maint Officer was the encouragement (aka telling) units to roll the tarp "inwards" if possible (which it was on most our stuff) vs. the normal "outwards" roll. Since these would get rolled up and...

    The good and the bad of owning something tracked and/or armored?

    I know some paintball places use them, but I only have done airsoft in the past decade or so. There's specific weapons to shoot at the armor (bazookas shooting nerf rockets), and "hit zones" on the armor that if you get the special weapon in there, "kills" the armor. They are usually driving...

    Issues with SF-97

    Seriously? have you actually READ anything on here? First time EUC can take a few months. It is NOT GP's responsibility to complete the EUC check, it is the Federal Government.

    Denton NC MV & Surplus Show 14-16 April 2016

    I will probably arrive Friday in the M880, probably towing the Pioneer. if I can accumulate some hours before then I might do Thursday but I have a trip in May that I'm out for a week or so. I'm still not used to the whole "taking vacation" as a GS thing.

    M1078 LMTV Parking Brake not engaging

    Are you sure the brake isn't caged? That'd be a quick check, otherwise start going through the brake adjustment portion. You should get a decent air hiss, but not too much... hard to describe without a video or similar... Also a reason we use chock blocks with everything!

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Yes, but the "trick" that got me is, the NAME of the color? it's that number. So the name of Medium Gunship Grey, is not FS 36118 or Medium grey 36118, it's just 36118.

    My M880 Thread (pics plus bonus M882)

    I think that'd be a pretty good idea actually! Those are one of the styles I would be looking at honestly!

    Are exhaust stacks illegal on a pickup truck?

    If they are illegal in the state where your truck is registered (note, you said Michigan and your profile says Wisconsin), then you have to abide by those laws. If you are travelling through a state, you are not obligated to abide by equipment laws (minus the basics for safety and such)

    My M880 Thread (pics plus bonus M882)

    they will with a lift or trimming the corners of the front wheel wells. I personally don't have the intent of doing that.

    My M880 Thread (pics plus bonus M882)

    Plan is get some 16" rims that look as similar as possible and a decent set of off roadish but street-able tires to go on the rims. Beyond that, no plan yet. spent what was going to be tire money on the Pioneer.

    Distracted driving

    Happened Sat Morning of last week. I do swear in it... Not sure if you can make it out in the video, but pretty obvious she was on her phone. As in the "Thing"? It's my 06 Dodge Ram 2500, with my running lights on! https://youtu.be/tZqg2k6jkwU

    I wasn't sure how I would like it when I saw the "after Paint" photos, but it is a GREAT looking finished product!
