    Wow NO POSTS, well we can't have that!!

    We might have been in Korea at the same time. I left in Oct 93. I was at Camp Stanley as I was in Artillery. Of course, I was also 2nd ID.

    XM757 steering

    Bjorn, I would not mess with them unless they are giving you a specific problem. If they are then I would replace with a greaseable tie rod end. I know this would be problematic at best with alot of fabrication involved. Are any of them loose or are do they give you concern based on the...

    how many miles do these things last?

    We drove our trucks were ever we went. Most miles are racked up on improved and unimproved roads. Only when you get to a position do you leave the road to go off road. Even in our push into Iraq in the first gulf war we had engineers plowing a road right in front of us. This road was only a few...

    Titles & Virginia

    GL are civilian contractors. They are not government employees but work closely with DRMO. I wish they would lose the contract.

    Connecting Power Cable to RT-524 Radio

    As long as the radio is off you will have no problem with the batteries. There is supposed to be a small key to keep you from clocking the cable wrong. I guess yours is broken off.

    Farther up in the thread we had established that it was probably a Canadian military truck not an M880.

    Titles & Virginia

    Will, Your truck did not come out of GL. The PD got it direct from DRMO so the SF-97 had their "name" on it. The sf-97s coming from a GL sale have GL as the buyer. This is the part of the problem. The original purchaser from GL would have gotten a notized statement giving them legal...

    Titles & Virginia

    Bo, I edited my post above take a look. I also feel your pain. Once I did get a motorcycle and the guy brought out the title. It was the old title with his name in the new owner box. He never titled it. He lined out his name and put in my name above it. I knew this voided the title so I...

    Titles & Virginia

    Getting surplus vehicles is like getting are like just like a new trailer. When a new trailer is built it is issued a certificate of origin that has the vin on it. When you buy it you are the first person to title it. This is the same way a new car is titled at first but the dealer does all the...

    Titles & Virginia

    There are usually one section of regulatory statutes to cover how the DMV conducts business then in another section is the criminal penalties for not complying. In other words, the regulatory section tells the DMV how to do business while the criminal section tells the police officer what he...

    M35A2C Fire extinguisher location

    We just put it in the toolbox. We were artillery so we also along one in the back of the gun trucks. We never mounted ours. For CI's we would place all the BII on a piece of canvas in front of the truck in a sort of display.

    Titles & Virginia

    I am almost sick of being the killjoy on this topic but STAY AWAY FROM TITLE COMPANIES!!!!!!!!!!. What they do is at the best barely legal. They lie to get a title in a state that does not require the title. Most states allow you to obtain a title after paying a surety bond in the amount of the...

    Classified ads

    I placed my response in rant lock forum. I agree with Bjorn that the Forum generates more response than the classifed section. I like to see this stuff come up with the new posts on the opening page.
