    Been looking for a HET, but some of the prices have been a little nuts... not to mention locations. I have a hard time spending lots of money on wheeled vehicles! LOL

    The Chieftain Arrives! Or the travails of moving armor...

    Well after buying a Chieftain last Spring in the UK, having it demilled to US standards and repainted (for some reason a 7 month process), having her ship from Liverpool to arrive in Baltimore (missing the ship 2x), then the REAL fun began... She landed Jan. 2, and was cleared by Customs Jan...

    M923A1 inner wheel seals? Where do I find them....

    Ok, I don't mess with massive tires as I don't want to inadvertently make my wife a widow! LOL I had a tire on my M923A1 slow leaking, so I took it to a truck place that has experience. They called me and said that the inner seal needs replaced. They only have access to much narrower seals...

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

    Ok, I'll throw my hat into the ring... Disclaimer first, I know nothing about M113s or M114s... they may have tracks, but I don't personally consider them armor... flame away... Owning tracked vehicles is not for the faint of heart, but it is incredibly rewarding and there is simply nothing...

    Wrecker welding tanks/bottles

    We tried to fill my bottles, and were told they had to be pressure tested. Then got a call about two weeks later saying they could not pressure test the short bottle as it did not have the industry acceptable markings.

    M929 Splash Guards

    Sorry, in this part of the country we've always called them splash guards... I've heard them called mud flaps, but splash guards are what most people around here would say...

    M929 Splash Guards

    Ok, yes mud flaps... The ones that came on the truck are so short that when driving they curl in toward the tire and ride up onto the tire surface, rubbing the entire time. I need the ones in the picture.

    M929 Splash Guards

    Hey all, Just picked up an M929A1 dump truck out of Indy, and it had really short splash guards installed, not the original long ones that can be rolled up. Does anyone know where I can get a set of the long splash guards? Could also use the attaching hardware! Thanks in Advance!

    UK APC's/Tanks (FV432/CVRT) in States

    I never said it was not legal to sell your armored vehicle you imported... It is however, VERY different if you are bringing multiple vehicles in, and listing them for sale... or selling them outright. And if you are making money from it, you must be registered as an importer. The ATF will...
