So how can we make sure that info pops up easier? Buried is not a good state of being in. And please don't say "search function". With so many threads using so much words repeatedly, you have to be a search engine black hat to get really to the deep buried stuff. Maybe we should start include...

Don't know if it will work legally, but the trailer would have forward-facing seats and you could even include seat belts. Troop transport carriers always face sidewards without seat belts. My first idea was to stick to the 12 people max, but make a special extra floor with forward -facing seats...

So what will you sleep in at the GA Rally?

I forgot that some of you remember I am Dutch, thanks. Whatever is needed.

DaveP's XM818A2w/w double stack with sleeper. That truck just has to get the honor it deserves Hope you don't mind me borrowing the pics.

I showed this one as example, I was hoping the US military would have used something similar to transport troops so I could use that documentation to convince DoT here that such things do/did exist.

I know the military had trailers to transport troops, even two-stories high from WW II. I could not find documentation and trailer identification on newer, post WW II versions. Any idea? I saw this one a few months ago at a small historic air show and it clicked. Getting permission to...

Kaiser bought Willey's but kept the names separate until 1963. Don't know when Kaiser started building Deuces but a Kaiser Deuce theoretically should be possible if built before 1963. The Dutch DoT had probelems with my Kaiser Jeep Corporation also; they thought to see a jeep and were quite...

Sorry guys but 1) I am not a Czech and my knowledge of the language is not that great. I speak it by now ok but grammatically wrong but still have a very limited word knowledge (I don't understand half of what they are saying here). I can get it translated here without problem, Oli and I are a...

As I said, I just have the equipment, not that much of a photographer as in knowing the tricks of the camera in and out, like white balance. No filters or other lenses (no $$ for it). However, in general, the D90 does a good enough job when at automatic. My biggest problem is that I forget to...

It's still far from sure, but if.... I will come with some simple equipment (thanks to a lot of project funding here): a Nikon D90 digital camera, 18-105 mm lens, shoots a decent video as well, wide angle, takes ALL Nikon lenses old or new. a Sony HDR SR10 full HD 1080. Bit limited angle...

Had a productive day today; few more admin hurdles taken. Went to the Dutch Embassy for a new passport. Set me back a f***** $$$ 175 ( :shock: :shock: ouch, that's 20% of a flight ticket). But for a sweet $ 8 they will deliver it to my front door in 10 days. Saves me a second 2 1/2 hour drive...

That's why I am so PITA in getting this not only right but black and white on paper citing specific laws. It might be very expensive, time-consuming and frustrating to prove that I was right after all (or find out I was not). A night in jail is NOT a USA experience I am waiting for, regardless...

Gunnermac, Does that code says anything about CDL or non-commercial large vehicles? I have been driving in the USA and Canada occasionally between 1980 and 2006 in passenger cars. Probably around 20 000 miles by now, both rented and our own car. Always on my Dutch or Czech license, no...

Carnac, I could find the summary also but what I was talking about - if I remember correctly - is a document specifically and only referring to the M51 dump truck.

visa and permits I will just ignore the jokes and smart*ss remarks until somebody can explain them over a cool beer (wine in my case, but still :beer:). Just got of the phone with the US Embassy: - I don't need a visa but I have to apply for an electronic pre-boarding permission (under the...

Somewhere in the TMs there is a statement that an M51 dump truck can LEGALLY carry 12 persons in the back when troop seats are installed. Presumably this is only for standard OTR driving under peace-time conditions. As Carnac said, once of the road into battle all bets are off. HELP. Now we...

Should I get scared and take some extra underpants?

The capo’s and consigliere of the GA Mafia have already extended an urgent invitation, hard (and unwise) to resist. ;) :recovry4x4: Travel itinerary. Flying to the states only for the GA rally seems a bit a waste of opportunity; might as well get some more out of it. I will try to get together...

Amazing how people come through here for each other. [thumbzup][thumbzup] Following the trip and learned several new things here. Did not know that a freeze plug existed, let alone that you could have problems with them blowing out. Did not know what JB-Weld means, though it had something to do...
