The above British vehicle is either a T16 Made in the US by ford OR perhaps an Oxford or Windsor Carrier. There are basically three classes of "Bren Carrer" 1st Gen, Non universal Carriers. Each hull was designed to a specific purpose: Bren Carrier, Scout Carrier, MMG/Vickers Carrier...

If you're conservative and live off the grid, make your own food/water/fuel/power you're a nutty survivalist. If you're liberal and live off the grid, make your own food/water/fuel/power you're Green!

What is that to show the troops the bumps, bruises and breaks they will get if they roll a HMMWV?

Looking at my fuel lines, they were, stock, all double flares. So, I got the same type of connections and used double flares there too to keep it consistent. Only problem I had was routing some of the lines and keeping the rubber hoses straight. Once it's all installed, it's VERY hard to get to...

What exactly is a Non-Commercial CDL (Commercial Drivers License)? Perhaps you mean Non-commercial Class A or Class B License?

I like to keep the trucks the same as the way they were designed unless you're completely updating an entire system. I hate having to have TWO types of fittings or connectors. So when I added a second fuel tank to my truck, I found double flare fittings online that once I got the hang of doing...

Bjorn, a lot of european trucks have similar setups. The advantage is that you can get the rear end near towards places you want to get the load and you're not reaching over the cab which may or may not be a good idea in a service filled with Private Murpheys.

Seems like adding a chain hoist for the lead going to the rear hitch would be a handy thing for adjustments.

Drawing anything but tiny loads from one battery in a 2 battery string will kill the non loaded battery. What happens is that the other battery is drawn down more and is at a lower state of charge. When they 2 battery string is charged, the other battery gets up to charge and the lower battery...

Could be a collector. Drive by in an MV and see if they'll chat with you.

Ack, good reason to NOT want them in your cab with you....

Love the Mack NO in the Post war British green.

Well, it'd be useful against shell splinters and small arms from long range. The main thing you might have to worry about doing a battlefield recovery of a damaged tank. Recovering tanks from the Battlefield as quick as possible could be a VERY important factor between a win or a loss at the...

You'll have to get used to it, then you'll notice that some things are out of place. I heard the odd sheet metal sound that I initially thought was a loose nut somewhere on a fender. Then, after a fuel stop, it was pronounced during load on the engine in 5th gear, both in HIGH and low...

Ahh, here they are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp4AmbYTnRQ They're Starting carts made from jeeps.

Weren't there Jeep based 3 wheelers with the 2 axles up front and one in the rear for tug work on aircraft carriers?

RE: gear used in SG units The Unimog camper body on a trailer has me thinking...why not an M109 body placed on a 2 axle bolster trailer?

I have a good Digital Multi Meter, wire connectors (crimp on and butt connectors), spare wire, dielectric grease, and bulbs.

That is probably not a bad idea.

I'd almost say to take the truck to a couple of shops that have 1100x20 tires and see what they have on hand for a deal. You might get lucky and get some interesting tires for a good price. Seeing what they have is also a good idea.
