Those 2qt. Canteens are 69 dated. I would not have used them otherwise.

SOCOM bought 718s years ago as mentions. The Special Marines (formerly Force Recon) ended up with most. These for sale certainly were on a US base. I looked at them personally, only 25 miles away...

I liked the part of Beavers being executed in Kentucky as a protest....

I have the exact model generator but have not run it much. How do you like it?

I've driven all 4 mentioned types and the Goodyears are a good choice. I'm not sure of the safety aspects of the originals. Old rubber, no matter how thick, can deteriorate really fast. Ask any old timers who drove dump trucks and other off road equipment. The last Goodyear 14x20s I bought were...

Heim joints make a huge difference in the shift linkage. Really tightens it up and you can run through the gears pretty well. No more fishing around. Steering feel depends greatly on the tires. Original tires aren't too bad, they like to wander a bit. NDs are terrible; wouldn't wish them on...

Actually the one Reed has is an early prototype, not even armor. It is a TACOM loan vehicle, not really his.

He is probably referring to the fact that it is a 710K model, which is a hardtop, and indeed is much more rare than the 710M. In that regard, he might be correct. 710k do bring more money but in this market I think he is not being very realistic.

I meant, promote Haspin Rally at Findley...

Has anyone thought of promoting the Rally as Findley this year? Could get more new SS members, too.

Also, oversized width so transport can be expensive.

I'm sure glad we don't get into politics on this site....:deadhorse:

Left fender has a NOTEK blackout light used for blacked out convoy use.

OK, now who has SPOUTS?

It is a Pinzgauer 718, stripped and used by SOCOM. There are six at Wright Patt and more in other locations going up for auction.

I would agree. Having owned two Foxes, they are perfectly fine while driven in a normal sense- its an armor vehicle after all. Good power, great suspension and great brakes, fun drive. Bear to work on, though.

Ah, but a Stolly isn't armour....

Ah, Norfolk. I know it well. Great little surplus shop in King's Lynn, and the weekend market south of town, too. Been to the Lotus factory twice. Have owned 11 various CVRTs, one 432, and a BREN Mk2. Lots of Arktis Kit! Welcome aboard.

Exceptionally beautiful work on that one, Gerald. No doubt the finest M-114 anywhere, period. As a toy, I guess an M-114 is a fine vehicle, but in service, quite dismal.

I have to ask; Perfect compared to what?
