Guys,
I wish there was somewhere online that old issues were posted so I wouldnt have to annoy people with this, but..
Im looking for the January/February 1998 edition of Military Vehicles Magazine, the article on "Machine Gun Firing Simulator"
Also looking for info on "gas"...
The parade winners thread got me wondering.
Those of you who do Parades, car shows, and MV shows, do you prefer the "Just rolled off the production line/showroom new" look or "On the battlefield" look? Me, I like the battlefield look with gear and equipment that would be used in conjunction...
Not very often that you see these....... Not abused, and complete. Heck, you even get a 3rd foot as a spare! The only other place I have seen the axle chain type was in the Army...
What do you pack for winching operations and why? From self recovery operations to lifting tons of stuff.... What suggestions do you have for someone putting a kit together?
Lets hear it!

3 inch wide, 10 foot long, max tensile strength 43,000#
this is the same strap that comes with the humvee 10.5K winch from MileMarker.
Guys,
I know this isnt the right thread for this, but...
Does someone have the #75 September/October 1999 or #76 November/December 1999 issues of MV magazine? Im looking for the info on the humvee auction in Georgia, which was an article in both of those issues. I'd love a copy/fax of just...
All,
I’d like to relate a long distance buying experience with some military truck parts. I was searching for some specific tires and other items, I called all around, and no one had what I needed exactly. I found a seller out on the West Coast who had what I wanted. I’ve never dealt with the...
All,
One of my buddies got a set of tires from Berg. They arrived this week, he's a happy guy, He did specify that he wanted all matching tires, they did a great job of matching the set.
Thumbs up for Berg!
I just picked one up on ebay for a fraction of the original cost. These guys save ALOT of time when changing tires on CUCV, 880 and 998's. I know they have indirectly saved lives in Iraq with making tire changing on the road a much faster process.. I've used them in the Army, does anyone have...
Yeah they are 12 volt, but for $20 each, you can buy 2 of them. I have no relation to the seller.

All,
Im looking several options about buying a M998 or M1038 (cargo/troop carriers, not other versions) I want to have the 2 seater with the troop seats in the back.
Does anyone have any suggestions, and does anyone have any experience with Schlott Enterprises...
All,
In my quest for some M101/M105 trailer bows, I found the GOVT manufacturer that made the 101/105 bows I needed, and he also is currently in production of 2.5 and 5 ton new style bows and crossmembers. I didnt ask for prices on his 2.5 and 5 ton items, so if you need something shoot him an...
All,
Im looking for two metal angles that make up the bows. (enough angles to make up one "bow" on the trailer.)
They need to be the newer style, not the M37 types. Dont need the crossmember, just the 2 angles. Condition doesnt matter as long as they are not bent or destroyed.
Let me...
All,
I just got a MEP017A. The battery is dead, but it does start and run in the EMERGENCY start mode with the rope. Starts on the first pull. When I switch it to NORMAL, it dies. Switch it back to EMERGENCY, it runs fine. According to the TM, you switch it to NORMAL, then hit the START...
All,
I am looking for a M116A2/M101A2 surge brake, non working. Mine in bent, does anyone have a new or used one? Condition doesnt matter, as long as it is not bent. Let me know if anyone has any leads on one.
All,
I am looking for a spare tire/rim for my M101A2 trailer. It has CUCV rims on it (Not Hummer) Is there an easy way to tell if they are 16 or 16.5 inch rims? I know there is that info stamped on the INSIDE of the rim. There is a local junkyard up the road thats closing and getting cleaned...
