Well... It's been 2 years... What's Big Iron 1-7 been up to in the mean time? oh, ya know... Big Iron stuff!!
We responded to: Hurricane Laura, TS Beta, Hurricane Delta, the Lake Jackson water supply crisis, and Winter Storm Uri. It's been a very quiet 2021, but I did get some heavy...

Longshot... does anyone have the part number for the Stryker horn? I know they are civilian off the shelf units (you can see the chrome if the CARC flakes off!) but along the way, I misplaced the part number...

It's so obvious now, but man were we confused as to how the transmission got that fubard!!
