    Gilbert Pa. Rally

    I stopped by the show Friday on my way to the water gap for some canoeing. I did not expect to see that many tracked vehicles together. Very cool! Does anyone know who owns the Ward la France M1 Wrecker? Some of the cables are secured with clips that look to be facing the wrong way. I was always...

    Police Dept. HMMWV

    Life Cycle Cost - Short term the HMMWV will cost more for fuel than the average SUV but does not require the big expense to buy. Long term the maintenance cost will be higher for the HMMWV. If used as a front line vehicle the new SUV will carry a warranty and be designed to operate for long days...

    Doorless

    Several states require a lip along the edge of the door to prevent objects from rolling out - those tube doors have a plate on the bottom to make them legal.

    "The Beast"

    Off the top of my head I can think of a few reasons why - Bank of America in North Hollywood, Edgewater Colorado this past year, Midlothian TX 2006. These are just several examples of officers being pinned down and not having a vehicle ready that could come to the aid. I see these type of...

    lockers

    If it is an air locker, put one in the front - you have more weight over that axle and you can unlock when you want to turn.

    CUCV Mud & Snow Help Please.

    BFG All Terrain is one of the few tires on the market that have the severe weather rating and not just M&S. Mud tires do well in mud but they tend to not do so well on the highway. I ran BFG All Terrains on a CJ-7 and the only time I got stuck was when I parked on a snow pile overnight and it...

    anybody ever see a M936 wrecker body - put on a M920 truck ?

    The M936 is child's play when it comes to actual wreckers. It is a multi purpose vehicle that can lift 10 tons when the boom is retracted. It can rotate 360 degrees but no load should be placed off the side unless the outriggers are used. A 1970's Holmes 750 can lift 25 tons. The latest...

    M1008 kicks it at the Mudbog..
