Nice stuff. You are definitely going to different places than I go. I rarely find vehicle stuff, maybe because you got it all already.:-D Keep on hunting. I did pick up a pretty nice Large wall tent of CL today have been looking for one for quite awhile.

Nice picture Mike, thank you. For all the rest of you, I was just trying to help them with their study of WW2 history. :) I was smiling in fear that they might scratch the paint.

Very good. It is nice when you don't have to mess with that anymore. Am out putting some touch up on the 42. I have repainted the bumpers back to my uncle's unit. Am looking forward to getting back to the Combat Engineer mode.

Hope to see you in the morning. why not license it as a historical vehicle and be done with it? I think it only needs to be 25 years old. I am going to bring my 42 Ford. P

ditto on Joyce. Very helpful and patient in explaining the process. Fortunately my bidding hasn't been sharp enough yet to go through the rest of the paperwork.

Are there any of the SS crew that is interested in participating. Some of us belong to other groups that may be participating. If you are not in one of the other groups and would like to do this parade, please let me know. I will send in a registration under the "Friends of Kilroy" name...

So far looks like two jeeps, an M151, and a tentative big truck and tentative or drive by motorcycle. Anyone else want to tag along? I will do WW2 for this one. Hours of the actual event are 0930 to 1400. We should consider being in place by 0830 as we usually share the field with a Stryker...

1st Sgt. Gifford and Mike (New Zealand) made it home yesterday, Washington State. the CCKW ran fine for the final leg. We had them over for dinner tonight and wished Mike well. He is off to New Zealand tomorrow. He was very complimentary of the whole adventure. Hope the rest of you make the...

Mike, you hit better garage sales than me this weekend, but I did get a 1941 dated set of Russian binoculars with case yesterday at one. I did pick up one of those tow cables awhile back, only to find out that they would not fit over pintle hitch on the M54. Now I think I need one of the hitch...

If anyone has time, there is a carshow at the Assembly of God church at Aaron and Amber's exit off I-5, just behind McDonald's tomorrow (Sunday). From 0900 to 1400. It is a free event. Right now it looks like we will have 2 - WW2 jeeps and I am thinking of taking the M54. Sorry for the late...

Okay, we both need work on this. According to the TM 9-... April 79, a M416A1 has a shipping weight of 640 pounds, this is on Page 1-2 fig. 1-1. It has a payload cross country of 500 pounds and highway of 750. Thank you for tuning me up on this, I have had the wrong figure in my head for a...

Would you want it to be stock or does it matter? This trailer has a tailgate, which is more convenient sometimes for loading and there is not lunette ring. These can get pricey if you need to go out and put one on. Sorry I am not close enough to go look, but barring gaping holes in the floor...

Great paint job and look at the way they put a receiver hitch on that truck. Any possibilities of some closeup shots of your mounting for that hitch?

If you are trying to keep it original, if it had sandbox time, how about keeping it in its combat time colors? do you know the unit it belonged to? My truck is a 68 and was going to green it, but after talking with many vets on this issue, the vote seems to be for combat time color.

Hope you can be there Mike. this is a very appreciative audience for what we do. P.

Sorry forgot one minor detail. This event will take place in the Cabella's parking lot at Hawks Pararie in Lacey WA.

Hello Team, Here is another event we could do on Sept. 8, 2012. We should probably show up in the 0800 to 0830 range. Parking will be an issue, so we may need to take a few cones, get there early and take over a section of the parking lot, just outside of the event. The event will conclude...

Hey team, this Saturday and Sunday is the Steam Threshing Bee at Toledo, WA, immediately adjacent to the airport. MV's are welcome and they let you in for free if you are displaying your vehicle. Larry M. will most likely be there both days and I am trying to decide what to take down for this...

Got a call from 1st Sgt. Gifford today and they are either close to the apex of the trip or started on the downward leg. I think he said tomorrow there was going to be a celebration at the end of the road that was built back in 1942. things are going well for most, but it appears that one jeep...

Got a report from the 1st Sgt. tonight. The 43 CCKW is performing well. They are in Dawson City. Approx 65 vehicles made it for this adventure. He only had one problem so far and that was falling asleep and running off the road. Fortunately he went into the cleared right of way with no...
