It's a buttpack but nothing to do with ALICE. ALICE gear is nylon and post Vietnam.

Why would you want t o do that?

I got to drive one a few years back. VW diesel. Fun to drive. They used them in Afghanistan. No plans to ever surplus, though.

VW D24T is what most of the newest came with.

Peacekeeper

Amsteel is what SOCOM uses on their's. The only downside is cost. Huge safety and ease of use benefits.

So with the 24v, can you charge both at the same time?

Thats a Chaffee, not a Sherman

Greetings from 25 miles southwest of you.

You can indeed legally own it and drive it on the road in the UK. The M113 is actually less expensive in the UK than the US as many were sold from NATO stock that cannot be returned to the US. BENELUX countries sold off a bunch a few years ago and they were very reasonably priced. Not as cheap...

That's not quite true. President Johnson was the first to publically mention the RS-71, which he mistakenly called the SR-71 and the name was changed. That was 1965. Bush was CIA director in 1976.

A good bump helmet like the Protec Ace is light, well ventilated, inexpensive and offers really good protection. Used by SOCOM troops and off-roaders.

Any vehicle owned by TACOM must be demilled, including the engine.

I need a 6,500 lbs. truck (16ft. long) and parts hauled from Lexington KY to near Dayton, OH. Paying in cash. This weekend. Thanks, Alan

Here is an airborne model that was at the MVPA Convention in Portland, 2008. It was from Ft. Lewis. Very nicely done with most of the same mods done on the Ranger versions.

He has lots of good NOS parts.

Kells Hogan had a bunch of NOS seats a few years ago. http://www.deepwoodscamp.com/Director.htm

Two are Polaris Defense Sportsman 700, and a Kawasaki Teryx. SOCOM has used them for many years.
