    PNW-2010-Second Annual Chehalis River Valley MV Convoy/Camp-Out

    You know after reading that it reminded me of when I was a private at FT Stewart I was driving the Commander around in a HMMWV and I drove over a piece of concertina wire and it punctured the tire pretty good. I looked around in a BS ammo can that I had some random items in. Inside I found a...

    ebay - just gotta laugh sometimes

    I sent him a msg from my ebay account and asked how he could make that claim saying that they are still on GL and GSA. His reply was: "Yeah, you can still find some rustbuckets up in Wisconsin or the scrap ones here and there if that's what you're looking for." Oh on a side note he...

    R. Lee Ermey in person in Birmingham May 22?

    Man.........If I had still been stationed at FT Benning, GA I would have made it up there. Birmingham is my hometown too. I spent much of my teenage years at Hoover too.

    Disenchanted with m1009, Rather have an M880!

    It's a matter of perspective. For example if you buy a 2010 Dodge Ram Truck how much is your payment going to be each month? $500-700 I bet. I'm sure the upkeep on a M1009 is not that high. I can tell you that after my last PCS move across the country I spent over 5k on my Dodge Durango as it...

    Really Good Lookin' M1031 For Sale

    Yeah that is the mileage, not the price. The add is not set up to well. Does seem to be a nice truck though, looks like the asking price is just under 6k.

    Time for a no nonsense, come to Jesus moment, about m1009

    My experience thus far has been great. In the past 14 months my M1008 has been a daily ride to and from work, as well as driving it to a few rallies and even a FTX out at Yakima. The only thing I have had to do is oil changes, change one headlight when the low-beam went out, and JB-welded the...

    Recovery? Lost...... or Stolen from Ft. Indiantown Gap PA.

    Not all GL sites are lax, I went to the GL site here at FT Lewis (in uniform) after my win thinking I would just start my truck so it would not be dead at time of pick-up. They were having none of that idea. While they don't escort you around they do keep a eye out. At first I was offended...

    immobilizing a Water Buffalo

    That was my first thought, but I assume it's out there for a reason and might be required to be moved at short notice to react to fire or provide drinking water to workers? If so you could run heavy chain through the pintle ring and chain it up to tree with a heavy padlock. Of course it...

    Payment declined? HELP!

    the same thing happened to me, I caught it early enough to fix it all. For me it was a single purchase/ daily limit on my ATM card. I called my bank to have them lift the limit and had GL re-run the charge.

    Free gas for my deuce?!

    Also be aware that if your running on the road and by chance get stopped for a fuel dip/check the fines are very high for not running the road-taxed fuel. Should this happen then all of the sudden the "free gas" will not seem so free anymore. There are several threads on this here.
