Thank you. She is unique. We had considered modifying the 220KAK into an "rolling palace" complete with windows, RV-type entry door(s), and all the comforts of a travel trailer. However, once we realized that we'd be butchering what may well be the last of her species, we have decided to keep...

Seems we're getting down to the wire.... I can hear the new commentators making their election night predictions now. And we with horses in this race are fidgeting. All but one hoping for a last minute miracle. VOTERS: IT'S TIME TO MAKE YOUR DECISION and VOTE ! ! !

Will pray for a transmission resurrection miracle much as the engine has already experienced.

For the sake of the new folks who may see this thread and wonder... WHAT'S A HASPIN? Could you please provide general (or specific) geographics, types of activities, etc.? Thank you.

"And lead us not into temptation" comes to mind here rofl

Another Anniversary, Another BUMP. Although this thread was bumped at the beginning of the 2018 Hurricane Season, today is the 13th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's landfall. So, I'll bump it again. There are many lessons to be learned in Sarge's Katrina experience. There is much for...

Indeed it would! And I favor the M275's for their multi-fuel power plants... But that's because we already have a spare Multi-Fuel still in the crate from a 1990's rebuild that came with our Deuce. Although this tractor IS interesting, we have already acquired a 1969 vintage XM818 out of the...

Oh, my! Often I have those BLOND MOMENTS and don't connect the dots to reach what SHOULD be obvious conclusions. (SIGH) But alas! Eventually I get an epiphany and that light bulb atop my head shines brightly.... I may know this halftrack!!! Did she for many years stand (literally on jack...

I noticed this vehicle has a single cab on its right side and a double cab on its left side. What crew duties/positions? Front: driver & co-driver; Rear: Commander/Crew Chief/Systems Operator (for multiple steering modes)????? I'm sure that when deplored to the battlefield the multiple tasks...

Gottal luv when opportunity and preparedness meet like that. Thanks for sharing your story! I could almost hear the "SWOOOOOOP" sound of an eagle snatching it's prey.

Since you seem to be receiving citations from the City of Jupiter Code Enforcement, it's best you approach this in one of two ways: 1. Ask exactly to WHICH SPECIFIC Municipal Ordinance they assert you are in violation. OR 2. Start researching your City Ordinances on you own... They are available...

Welcome aboard :grin: Find a bunk, stow your gear, and prepare to get underway :driver: Congrats on your "new to you" Deuce! Be careful though. They're kinda like Lays Potato Chips.... Bet you can (have) just one!

Welcome aboard :-D Find a bunk, stow your gear, and prepare to get underway :driver: You may have joined to find some GenSets, but don't be surprised when you start finding trucks, parts, and awesome comrades too. Again, WELCOME !!!

amen !

FWIW (For What It's Worth): The internet's WIKI for HMMWV redirects to the HUMVEE WIKI webpage. Hence, Al Gore's internet seems to think that HMMWV and HUMVEE would be synonyms. This WIKI bears a note just below its title: "This article is about the military vehicle. For the civilian...

Some additional photo album memories of readying the 220KAK for her recovery trip.... I had located some "new" wheels and tires. They had come of an M818 that had gotten larger "shoes" for playing in the mud. These tires still had (and still have) the mold nubs on them. Got the full set of...

Well, as the 21st of the month slips away, I see our 220KAK has managed TWO votes! I am appreciative yet surprised. Others are more "beautiful", better restored, more "desirable" in the typical motor pool, and even currently operational. Yet we still have several weeks to see this poll to...

My jealousy is camo'd under a large puddle of DROOL ! Congrats on scoring what most of us only dream about. PLEASE keep us posted on your restoration progress. Carry on!
