in time Rome wasn't built in day!!!!

I think you can take the "price" tags off the bed now Very nice.

 

[TucsonVTXF]

more detail please? I have it tracked to ft hood to 21st aviation brigade that was deactivated in 2014 correct?

Your truck was an Eagle OC's truck at NTC.

The logo on the rear is/was of the Eagle Observer/Controller Group at National Training Center, Ft Irwin. The water cooler bracket is another dead give away of a NTC O/C vehicle. https://www.facebook.com/1413162325...1316232580814/273668866012216/?type=1&theater Check the logo, should look the same Also, the general stripped appearance of the truck is another indicator. No canvas, a 2 seater, no radio mount stuff, but 2 can mounts on the tailgate. Look on the stop/run/start lever for evidence of a hole that 550 cord would fit thru for a "remote start".


Also, check this link, look at the box in the bed of the model. That was another signature of OC HMMWV's. http://www.network54.com/Forum/4720...op+M998+Humvee+Circa+1991+Desert+Shield-Storm-

What evidence do you have of 21st AVN BDE?

going off the logo painted on the door blank and the rack on the truck was the size of a nitrogen or oxygen bottle and was work like a steel bottle was held in it....

The DRMO location is a also a HUGE #1 indicator of NTC use. It was a water cooler. The "rust" stains on the truck where the mount was indicates that. O2 or N gas wouldn't leave a stain. Figure out what the # under the eagle is and that will give us more info on it.

What's the purpose for remote start?

 

[emmado22]

Start the truck and heater without getting out of your O/C sleeping bag. They would run a LONG heater duct hose from the passengerside heater duct under the dash inside the sleeping bag. No kidding. Those who have been to NTC can verify.

19C under the eagle.....

steel mount on aluminum body with rain water will do the same damage so to say it was done by a watercooler cant be 100 percent confirmed.....

What's that toggle switch next to headlamp switch? I have one on my ntc truck too.

 

[TucsonVTXF]

I have IR driving lights hidden behind the bumper

 

[emmado22]

Were the ID lights there when you got it?

 

[TucsonVTXF]

do you mean the IR driving lights.... yes they were

 

[emmado22]

The water cooler holders are the same. The truck is the same style. IR headlights in the bumper are another indicator of a NTC truck. Was your truck ever rebuilt? http://www.iyacyas.com/ntcaug.html


Go buy this book, you will see some good pics of O/C trucks. http://www.amazon.com/Ntc-Primer-Modern-Combat-Military/dp/0891413138
