I live in Gaithersburg, but I actually live closer to Damascus. The G'burg zip code stretches a long way from the town of Gaithersburg where you lived. I am in a much more rural area.

Howard, great write-up. Seeing your back yard in a couple of photos brought back memories of our July 4th cook out many years ago!

If cost isn't an issue, or if I planned to put a lot of miles on my truck, then synthetic would be my choice. However, personally, I always use non-synthetic. I drive all of my trucks a sum total of a few thousand miles a year...so not much per truck. I almost always have to change my oil due...

Very cool trailer. It has the same tank as an M149A2, right? Any idea why they felt the need to go to two axles with fairly narrow tires?

Really nice to see one of the older HMMWVs represented and looking great. I find that you mostly see the newer stuff (M1123, M1165, etc.). I am not bashing the newer trucks as I have an M1165A1.

Speaking of the R, my nephew is an Apache pilot. We were talking recently about HEMTTs in his battalion. He told me they have quite a few older ones with Rs in their model numbers. I was unaware that they were rebuilding older HEMTTs and giving them new model numbers with the Rs (I am aware...

How close to actual CARC 686A is the Behr equivalent tan? The pics look good.

I received mine, too. Thanks for your hard work on this.

I suggest you stress the value of the vehicles that are owned. Canceling titles will impact the values of your vehicle(s).

I see pintle hitches on vehicles (and variants) such as an M1, M113, M2, M60, etc (I am not including vehicles such as the M548 and M1015 because I know they did haul trailers). However, I have not seen many pictures of such armored vehicles towing trailers. I believe I have seen videos of...

There are two styles...one for a dropside truck and one for the non-dropside truck. The headboards are different because the dropside trucks have a pin that secures the troopseats to the headboard...as opposed to the non-dropside headboard that attaches directly to the troop seats by means of...

Maybe you could look for a residue REV truck that has the steering box on it. Then, you'd have other parts you may need or you could sell them. Some of the residue trucks go fairly cheaply, but then you still will have to add shipping from either CA or GA.

I do not think 599517 is the correct VIN number. I think it might be a USMC registration number.

There is someone selling a blank M1045 data plate on eBay. Perhaps, you could use that one until/unless you find the correct one.

Also, these lights do not fit in the holes you are referring to. They mount to the bottom of the body or below the bumper.

There is (or was) a guy on eBay who was selling the back up light kits from the soft top ambulance version. I also know you can get the lights from Mac Motors, although I am unsure about the rest of the stuff.

It looks like Eastern Surplus has some. Give Dave or Bill a call.

Bring a trailer towing light kit. Brake lights and signals make the journey safer...plus may not draw the attention of LEOs. Good luck!

Tom Bauer does excellent work. I remember seeing that truck up close during and after his work. Glad your friend is on the mend.

Thank you!
