    jerry can mounting

    Jim, the photos came through fine. Thanks. I saw a truck sailing down the road a few weeks ago with jerry cans mounted on the sides, but couldn't tell how they did it. This might have been the answer. Great idea.

    New member question here:

    rofl Thanks for the tip on Cornhead Grease ... but you have to admit, it sounds like it should be preceeded by Jeff Foxworthy saying: "You might be a Red Neck if .... " ps - Ian welcome to the group - lots of knowledge mixed in with the nonsense. Enjoy!

    STE/ICE-R Question

    Does anyone have any experience with the STE/ICE-R vehicle analyzer? Is it worth buying for the M series vehicles? I have an M1009 and will eventually have some other related toys. Any thing problems with them? Any thoughts on a reasonable price? I tried to download the TMs and of course...

    Speaking Of Armor ...

    I ran across this last week during my travels. It seems that the Parsippany, NJ VFW post obtained an nice lawn ornament: an M60A3 tank! No one was around, but it was a recent delivery judging by the tracks in the lawn. I'm guessing that it arrived for Veterans Day. Its nice to see some of our...

    Oh Boy! New Toy!!

    This one I can blame on you guys! A short time ago one of the members did a road trip which, of course, involved stopping at every weed covered field containing piles of rusting military metal - aka salvage yards. Soooo, the topic of Pioneer Tool Trailers emerged - new to me. So I asked some...

    Tracked vehicle South of Sacramento, CA

    Without a photo of the vehicle in question this becomes a game like the 3 blind men describing an elephant. At least a decent physical description - support rollers or not (the carrier shown does not have support rollers), number of road wheels, spacing between them - even or not, type of track...

    What's up with this light bracket?

    RE: What The bracket on the vehicle is for a radio antenna. The rest looks like a local construction. Interesting, although non-standard, solution.

    M1009 Check Ride

    Here is my M1009. I got it registered and it passed NJ state inspection with no problems. The dog informed me that he didn't like the back seat - big dog, not real comfortable seat. So the seat has been removed. Last weekend being Veterans Day weekend I drove the M1009 for 3 days - lots of...

    Malibu, California-Style Black Deuce

    On the positive side, someone spent megabucks on a retired military vehicle - and that is one spoiled truck that will never be a bombing target. Plus, it isn't a low rider with fuzzy dice - after all , it is California!

    Technical/Operational Help Needed

    I checked Army Knowledge Online and found both manuals, but I can't download them with my current access. I have to write these people and find out why. It is very hit or miss on which manuals I can get and not consistent. The same stuff is available through civilian vendors who create CD...
