:tank: :tank: :tank: It does not matter for who you vote, as long as you vote!!! (and if you believe that .......) Weekend always seems to be a bit slow for the regular things.

And a small selection of the Gun Truck replica's driving around at the Vietnam War Gun Trucks Gathering Pigeon Forge 08, including Proud American. https://youtu.be/RtuGb-OiSDE

Tried to find a video of War Wagon, but ended up with loads of video's on gun trucks in Vietnam. The thing that sometimes irritates me is the choice of music. Here's a good one, keeping alive and honoring the memories of those who where there. So vote for the War Wagon this time...

Bumpertybump. Actually, I like the forklift too, we could use it over here manipulating a 7+3+9 ton steam power hammer Very bad pic of me in our very old destroyed fork lift (no brakes, lousy hydraulics) and also of my then 2 year old grandson enjoying himself steering the forklift.

That's what I mean, I need an unrestored one. First, restoring is fun, second, I never would ahve the funds for a restored one, and just buying a completely ready restored truck somehow takes away the magic.

Actually, its not. Crazy for sure, but dumb not. It was in the main stream newspapers in the Netherlands just before the weekend. In our space-limited land, it might actually be realized one day. Mind you, I would still like to have a long straight runway for emergencies, but combined, who knows.

We need more pics on the gun truck War Wagon!!! nopics hndrsonj or Jeff, any nice pics to put here, something on the history? nopics

Another Dutch innovative idea

The War Wagon it is. Here a thread with some details on the building of War Wagon. Drew, not really important, but maybe an idea to change the caption of the contender from Jeff Kyle to his username jeffhuey1n? I tried finding the truck under "jeff kyle" (what do I know) as username but ended...

Cooolllll. If they ever make it big, you can bill them for using the truck.

Amen to that in spades

No, exactly the details I wanted. Holy .... . Is that a Case tractor? Can't help you with transport; the Czech Republic is a bit too far away for that, but would love to help with restoring it. We are preparing a large project to restore narrow-gauge railroads including some steam engines...

Any more details on the tractor, maybe a pic so we know what you are talking about?

The "Waiver and hold harmless agreement" states Does not say: unless made road worthy or street legal or something like "agrees that Humvee in its current condition is for off-highway use only It states agrees that Humvee is for off-highway use only. How I read this is that it is for...

Just curious, it had a street title, ended up with Iron Planet and was sold to you. Does that mean that at the time of sale through IP, it was not a military vehicle anymore but a private vehicle or had the military titled it for whatever reason?

Oh man, me and my big mouth, I had to open it again :smile:. No, I was not attacking you or anybody; I was trying to help get things clear, which I think it did. It mentioned:if you have a YES on two or three of the questions, then .... You made very clear that, in contrary, you have three...

Lets keep it clear. First, I have nothing against trying it and fully understand the feelings involved (and the cash). Unfortunately, that is not relevant here. For those who bid on a HMMVV, paid and signed the papers, 1) was it stated clearly that you bought the vehicle with a limited...

I swear I had a post on this written and submitted, but it disappeared? Probably pushed the wrong button, and now Swiss beat me to the punch line. As Ron said, don't complain if the states follow the rule and expect you TO FOLLOW THE CONTRACT YOU SIGNED even if its the biggest BS imaginable...

Correct, but as mentioned earlier, we are going to dual the circuit regardless, and as number two priority. If I have the whole truck up and am messing around, might as well add some kind of retarder as a nice extra to help regular brake action in our hilly entrance into town. However, I do not...

I think the picture is getting clearer. Let's ignore the 900 series. It's a completely different beast, an older modern truck, while the M39 and 800 series are basically newer old trucks. Anyway, the 900s have auto trans and mostly already a retarder installed (if not connected). However...
