Haven't read all posts in this thread yet (too tired to do it now) but I know that in the 70s in the Netherlands it was quite easy and cheap to buy US army surplus. The local story goes that each unit sent over brought its own equipment but when returning to the USA would leave the equipment...
Somehow that time frame did not click in my head before even after reading most post. Are you guys seriously saying that early March these guys go into hibernation and don't come back until 2015 as to passing laws comes heaven or high water? What the @@#$# are these people doing in between?
The truck was not that long, and from the original picture, it looks that the fuel tank and the middle axle are close together, so more a standard cargo wheelbase. The box on top was also as far as I remember just a simple box used as office-working space; it was not an expansible van. Don't...
This was one trip I would have given a lot to be on. Somehow missed the postings during the actual trip, too much to do here and not enough money to throw everything down and join the convoy. Getting sentimental here looking at old pics of that road.
I have a special request. I went through...
Going down memory lane a it the last few months. I was looking for pics on my stay in Toad River Mile 422 Alaska Highway and suddenly found back this pic.
After finishing my study at the the University (1985), I was a bit lost and had enough of all the theoretical stuff. So I worked at a small...
Do you guys really have to ruin my Sunday? Now you got me thinking and watering around the mouth again :drool:.
I do not need it but it would be a nice attachment and third option to my dump truck - tractor. How do these things work as to hydraulics etc. Can I run that from my dump hydraulics?
In the Netherlands there were large discussions about this, basically about the "eveybody should know The Law". In todays society and with the speed laws change also EU and country laws (on your side Federal and State law) that is impossible. However, they thought of a nice little sentence to...
If I may suggest, when desciribing your efforts, use words like counter or tackle; attack, although probably the proper word here, sounds aggrssive. Maybe too carefull here, but a lot of people, maybe including the opposition, is reading this (and therefore this comment also, oops)
Why not, an easy way to save $5 and still get that warm feeling that I donated $10 :grin: :wink: . Applying incentives on multiple levels, very good. (anyway, it was time to bump this again, today is the day)
Thanks, I thought it would be not possible with the "today's post" knowing how that works. One option might be to add a "today's important thread" link to the yellow banner above the threads (I mean the one with no politics or auction references) but that probably will go too far and a lot of...
I am not sure if it is technically possible but would it be possible for moderators to make a thread a "sticky" in Today's posts?
For example, things concerning site outing or other site problems. Very often, the amount of new threads pushes those threads quickly to the background. Another one...
Papabear, that's not the new norm, I think it always or mostly was like that even in the USA, maybe with exception of the 19th century settlers on the plains; no free rides there.
With some exceptions, that is the rule in most EU countries as well. The main exception: bobbing or making any...
