If not built to US standards on the title is all you have to worry about go for it and don't look back. Enjoy the truck. When I purchased my 5T on sealed bid auction from a municipality, had to have it inspected by the ST. Patrol vehicle inspector, you must have an appointment. They have an...

Sounds like there are questions. Bottom line, be there around 0900. The actual inside event starts at 1000. We get their front parking lot for MV's. Except that we do need to leave the 2 handicap parking stalls open for use. depending on size of vehicles, looks like we should be able to get...

Scott, look for Made in USA shirts. Thank you, P

Put some lights on it. If you have the standard lights on the back, you can change the 24 bulbs out for 12 volt. It seems that awhile back someone had a thread about making an adapter that uses the civilian flat plug and ties into the military inter vehicular cable. A few years ago I purchased...

Dale, Keep us posted. If work permits, would be glad to help out on the recovery. The T-shirts sound cool too. P

Good points that we all need to consider and keep in mind, regardless of location. Go Maryland!

Thanks for the tips from emmado22, with a little more reading of the TM, I now understand the difference between a light and heavy 1101. I have been having 1101 envy for some time and think one will find its way to my stable one of these days.

Next time I catch them out there training, will see if they will let me take some pics, but they definitly had them hooked up to at least one LMTV 2.5 ton. I wasn't really paying much attention to the truck as I was interested in the 1101's. They had a wide variety of configurations of...

Thank you, That makes sense, will read further. 1's must be for Humvee's and 2's for FMTV's I was looking at quite a batch of them last week and noticed that they were hooked up to both types of vehicles.

Your point about the add on kit is well taken. The only difference I could see in the TM between a 1 and a 2 was the top kit. Is there something else that they upgraded?

Yes and they are not there all the time.

PS when you are looking for your top you will also need a top bow kit. According to the TM which you can find online, the 1101's didn't seem to have tops and the 2's did. but the trailers I was looking at this week, there were 1101's with tops on them, so they must have put a top kit on them...

What a great adventure and those trailers look great. I was at Satsop this week, that is a mothballed nuclear power plant and the Army is doing quite a bit of training there, so was looking over the vehicles. The M 1101's and 2's they were towing all seem to be in the age range of the ones...

So why didn't you go for one of the trailers in MD. They seem to have gone for about 1/2 of what the JBLM trailers are going for and it looks like less shipping for you?

Keep us posted on your radio needs. I have stuff and you never know, may have a piece you need to complete some radio setup. I have acquired pieces to include in vehicles for display.

Dale, you still shoveling snow or did you get that bobcat fixed yet?

I havent run across those guys.

Keep us posted. depending on work schedule, I may be able to help as a back up, but not the main mechanic.

If he has some way to bring the train down, have him bring it.

Here are some future dates for possible events we are taking part in. March 31, Olympic Flight Museum May 12, Centralia, display in support of their Train depot 100th anniversary. Let me know if anyone is interested. We would be in the field directly across the tracks from the depot. May 19...
