Use a bit of stainless safety wire fasten your tag to the vehicle if you use a magnetic mount. I safety wire my tags when they're cable tied to the front of my Jeep (lack of a factory mount) or flimsy plastic trailer mount. Easy to snip if you want it to come off, and hard to see so it doesnt...

Nice WC, but I thought this thread was about a 41 foot long deuce.

Cool, that truck is from 539th Trans, which is now based here at Ft Wainwright. They were inactivated in Vietnam in '71, and were just reactivated here at FWA in 2007.

blybrook, Did you get a M101 recently from the DRMO here in Fairbanks? I am pending an EUC to pick mine up and was curious to know if yours needed new bearings or seals immediately? I know these were recently pulled from service here at FT Wainwright but most of them had not seen much use or...

I have to do the same thing for an M101 as soon as my EUC comes back. Just so I'm straight, the "packard connectors" will go into the NATO plug? Or they'll go into the wiring junction box? I've looked through all the threads on this subject, and if recall correctly, this is the first that...

Your english is better than my French.:-D Back in 2004 I had the privilege of supporting the 60th anniversary ceremonies at Normandy. I was very surprised at the number of restored US military vehicles and reenactors present. It seems France and other european countries have quite a MV...

Looks like a halftrack hiding behind the crane? I've seen a similar crane in my area, I just can't recall where... I need to take a photo when I spot old MVs.

I believe I saw a photo of an Alvis Scorpion owned by Tactical Tailor of Tacoma, WA painted up in a UCP type digital pattern. Looked pretty cool as I recall.

I do live nearby. The pictures posted in the auction are of the unit for sale. I think the seller referenced the one that was tested in Yuma, and the way he worded the description was confusing. I'm going to give the seller a call and see if I can get up close to take some pictures, but in his...

This thing is about five minutes away from me right now. I've been talking with the seller to see if I can get in the yard and take some photos up close. If I do I'll post here. The owner has some other interesting bits in his salvage yard I'd like to take a look at as well. It's actually...

Great info. The pirate 4x4 link is outstanding too. I'm probably going to make myself a little smartcard with some of the formulas and bits that I may need during a recovery op. Army FM 4-30.31 (or Marine MCRP 4-11.4A) is the current manual for vehicle recovery. They combined recovery and...

Most comfortable flight I ever had was a C-17 from Kyrgzstan to Germany. We had one baggage pallet and about 40 pax. All of us sprawled out on the floor sleeping must have looked funny. It sure beat getting packed into airline type seats, on a seat pallet or like sardines on a commercial bird.

I saw today that the deal with China fell through and the Hummer brand will die. Seems the pros and cons of the brand going overseas is dead as well.

I have seen other PLGRs for sale from a Canadian seller before. Can't recall if it's the same guy or not. I sent a PM out of curiosity asking him where it came from and the answer was some sort of "purchased locally" or at auction or something vague to that effect.

Sounds like a pretty sweet trip. I'm in Fairbanks, AK and I'd be happy to support your trip in any way I could. Is it still on? You wouldnt mind hauling up one of those M35A3's that are pouring out of the southern DRMO locations would ya? :grin:
