    Weight rating for 5 tons

    I don't meant to imply anything shady or anything in this real world of public-sharing-roads vehicles, but this thread rather reminds me of a certain final startrek episode with scott in it or to quote this particular discussion between scott and la forge; "The tank can't handle that much...

    Looking for Vietnam era pics of V100's with 504th

    mm yeah @M813rc thats an unfortunate side effect of how many humans rates things these days, you could have 20 neutral/negative ratings for a restaurant against maybe just 1 that praised the food there otherwise - and when you actually go the place then ask a few random tables there they would...

    MV of the month February 2025 nomination

    although its nothing to do with military vehicles I still present you this photo of my father "trying to find where his subaru outback was again" the day immediately after thursday's snowfall as much as he had just about finished blowing out the driveway itself hence the "edged" snow there (just...

    MV of the month February 2025 nomination

    @Guyfang and @Migginsbros and @Weldman you three missed combined thursday&sunday up here in canada?!! too much bleeping white bleep so deep everywhere! if you thought one boot-eating amount of fresh bleep wasn't enough to try get yourself out of by friday morning only to then too soon get...

    M10a rough terrain forklift

    I'll have to agree with @fuzzytoaster as 10k vs 24k is rather too huge a safety gap, if you really need to do 20+k then look for a different tractor/seller "are tough, slow" that very much quotes many 1980's diesel cars/pickups that had an industrial (rather than designed by car company) diesel...

    Brake system splitting and air system modifications.

    I don't really have a lot to say for here in specific but i'll just add that with regarding to airbrakes in general - I know there is also the matter of a computer-controlled "self-learning" electronic valve to the trailer supply line, I don't know exactly how it works as I hadn't yet figured...

    MV of the month January 2025 nomination

    @Guyfang not to get too offtopic by being silly about this but I'm not so sure about either because a politician will simply ram any vetos through to get what he/she wanted instead of you, and a lawyer would tie you up for life in endless cease of extra-high paperworks!

    MV of the month January 2025 nomination

    @TenTires I guess I maybe prefer helicopters that have belly weapons? nice photo either way, looks like a popular/special gathering on the ground too @Blaines2399 not sure if I'm fond of that particular kind of headlight bulbs but either way nice winterize cover for the radiator tho, don't see...

    Howdy from Oklahoma

    welcome btw and not to be silly but would "business in back" include stashed all-black nerf guns? just joking perhaps .. either way I agree that these chromed rims maybe can go otherwise I don't have anything to add

    Action short film shot featuring my HEMTT

    US Mail trucks

    well I guess there may be two factors in term of that they were underpowered (old engine with little maintenances this long onward by now) tiny things and especially with no a/c altogether .. and I don't know what the general state of underchassis rust could be with these considering they were...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2024 - December VOTE HERE!

    @Weldman funny enough I had been watching a little bit of unofficial episodes of 'highway thru hell' on youtube the last few days (had watched many of it on live tv on and off in the past aside to also a little bit of tv app replays while I was at a toronto room two short holidays this year (the...

    Best gear setup to get out of the deep mud: H.... HL...... D.... 2.... 1......

    bit offtopic but even then snapping halfshafts reminds me of the volkswagen/bombardier iltis, I don't have a good cite for this but I've heard a bit of that it was generally to be left in 4wd mode all the times except if you were on dry surface and needed to make very tight turns, as otherwise...

    Best gear setup to get out of the deep mud: H.... HL...... D.... 2.... 1......

    I could be wrong but I would suspect that using higher gears is more of an ice thing aka low-friction but grip-depleted condition that is, the rationale being that lower torque would induce less "overpower" slipping. even then some cars with selectable automatic transmission modes seem to...

    Single 24v battery?

    last time I saw an actual 24v battery was from a site that restocked batteries for varying type of planes/helicopters (especially separate category for extra-rugged 'safety battery') but otherwise pretty much everyone else pretty much serial-wire two 12v's or four 6v's together to get the 24v...

    It followed me home. Honest...

    this is the only similar photo I could find from the web now but the magazine mentioned that these sort of sets were common around california through the 1950's-1960's https://i.pinimg.com/236x/8b/de/f4/8bdef4423ec7d2b694c1693836df7eb5--cattle-trucks.jpg

    It followed me home. Honest...

    with regarding to transferring trailer load to the truck itself .. its a different non-military topic as ever usual but I'll note that usa-wise there were actually quite a few cattle-purposebuilt trucks back then that were set up as a 3-axle straight body hauling a 1pony+2rear axles trailer ...

    It followed me home. Honest...

    regarding that funky dump bed, the towbar and re roller roll in front of the bottom tells me that it maybe seem like it was previously a small rollon-rolloff bin that in some way got welded into a permanent mount atop the deuce's chassis rails instead at the moment? I could be wrong but yeah I...
