I have served both in reserve status as well as as active duty, currently still active duty at FT Lewis, WA..... 1988 USAR 926th ENG as a 31C single channel radio operator JAN 90 joined active duty 24th INF (M)/124th MI deployed Desert Shield/Storm JAN 92 reclass to 31D MSE (also commo) SEP...

I did......everytime one of us spilled coffee on a bumpy tank trail going to the range we were like dam we need some cup holders.

Nice AJM! I have lots of new ideas for my M1008 now.:beer:

I have seen that and consider it to be functional but I think for half the price you could buy some materials and make something pretty cool while having fun to boot.

More like short and sour but definately correct.:D

How about towing coverage added to your policy? My truck runs great but it is 24 years old so things can happen there is no way you can prepare for every possible mishap. I'd make sre you look up the lubrication order on the resources link and hit all your joints with a grease gun. hopefully...

Right now the prices are really high. Since the Army plans on no longer buying new HMMWV's after this year then maybe we might see some come by way of auction again. Currently these get sold outside the USA or get stripped down to the frame and rebuilt. Having been in the Army since 1990 I...

Sort of, but it's no longer mine. This happened right before I moved to FT Lewis, it was repaired but the adjuster and I did not see eye to eye so certain things were not fixed (such as the leaf springs) Anyway I did not feel so confident about a 3000 mile trek with it so I sold it on Fort...

I know this is a older thread but I think it could use a "bump" back to the top. I have seen some pretty cool boxes built that go between the two seats on a M1009 but what about a M1008? Anyone have pics of a bench seat swap that has the middle seat w/fold down back? Or what about swaping the...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers and let me be the first....make that 2nd to say.......nopics :grin:Dale

It was a good day for sure. Thanks for hosting Dan! I Wish my daughter had cut me some slack, we were there for like 2 minutes and she was asking to go home already.

Agreed! I'd also consider moving, I know when I retire from the army that will be one state I will not move to no matter what the job offer is.

The same logic could be applied to classic cars, really take a 1965 Ford Galaxy 500 and look at how much real steel is that car compared to say a new toyota. As far as bad timing goes anyone else notice this thread is over a year old?

vtwinpilot, Anyone can tell from this thread that it has more to do with a kid that was drinking and driving, with unservicable tires, than anything remotely used against MV's heck the kid could have hit a F-250 and had the same effect......heck even a tree.... wait I retract the tree...

Glad your ok Grandshire, luckily I never had a moving accident but some kid ran into my parked M1009 one night. It looked like he drove through a giant cheeze grater. Some of you will remember the thread but just in case we have some new guys...

Glad your ok Aaron!

I'm pressed for time this weekend due to work but I still want to link up when do you guys plan to passing exit 125? That way I can just join the already moving convoy. *EDIT: Nevermind I see you guys are going through Yelm.......I'll just meet up at the site. Thanks, Dale

Welcome to the site, why not plate it in another state? You would not be limited restrictions then. Best of luck to you though.

I'm in too, pending any military obligations that may come up of course. Dale
