poop, that means Drew is about to hit the open market. When he asks about something, it's usually because he's already got it built, in his head...

Nah, brother, you don't want to have anything to do with those. Used those bastards in Alaska. Army-wise, we call those SUSVs.

Dae Woo is a South Korean company.

There's starting to be more news about Diego Garcia lately, and it's making sense. http://intellihub.com/girlfriend-370-passenger-wood-fighter-jets-accompanied-flight-370-secret-militarized-operation-husband-still-alive/ This one is pretty freaky - sent from a passenger on the flight - and coming from Diego Garcia... http://intellihub.com/freelance-journalist-hijacked-flight-370-passenger-sent-photo-hidden-iphone-tracing-back-secret-u-s-military-base-diego-garcia/

Can't get the link to work - can you repost it?

I don't even know if you can register it now. They were all supposed to be registered no later than 5 days ago. You need to contact State Police about this matter, and give them the full situation. Ask their advice.

Damn, I've been watching this topic closely, and I've been trying to stay out of it... Armored vehicles DEFINITELY have a role in Law Enforcement. In my opinion, only, the militarization of local police, from the smallest levels to the largest, is getting out of control. That's just my opinion, but it's happening more and more, even in the smallest, most remote departments. That CAN be an issue - it's all i the hand of the Chief, on how that equipment (and capabilities it brings) is used. Solely. However, armored vehicles - in many locations - are necessary. From the military side of the house, I've had my fair share of run-ins with meth labs and pot growers. In some cases, I can't even give details. In other cases, I've run across them actively brewing ON A MILITARY INSTALLATION, in very remote training areas - they think they're safe out there... I've been face-to-face with a group of people in the middle of a meth brew, and detained them until MPs arrive. I've stumbled through burned out labs, been exposed to the chemicals, all that. ON POST. I have many fireman friends that get sent into a structure fire - only to have the door they enter explode on them, and all over their bunkers. Some of my friends are fucked for life from this, even with oxygen on. There are definitely times when response in an armored vehicle is not only prudent by law enforcement - it's necessary for the protection of the LEOs. Wouldn't it have been nice for LAPD street cops to have an armored vehicle during the B-of-A robbery on 28 Feb , 1997? IMHO, armored vehicles were necessary then - $hit, all the steet cops had were pistols. They didn't even have rifles. Armored,... would have changed that scenario. Meth lab busts are another situation, barricaded crazy motherfuckers are another situation - especially if they're holding hostages. There are som many scenarios that put LE in a situation where armored vehicles would change the outcome of the situation. Might be a very small town police force, dozen people - do they need an armored vehicle? Depends... Are they in a small, rural METH HAVEN? They need it... Just the blanket statement I've made about the militarization of law enforcement, well... it's just a blanket statement. Most agencies don't need a metric $hit-ton of military gear to do their jobs. Most agencies aren't in the hostage-recovery game, or in the high-risk incident-response game. They probably don't need it, even though they're getting it. The capabilities have to fit most situations. If it's something out of their realm - that's what specialty teams are for. If armored vehicles are required, then there is no substitute for them. Militarily, I'm sure there are some people that don't have high-risk jobs - but they'd damn sure like to have all the gear that the guys in the high-risk units have - because that $hit is COOL! They'll never use it, but they can think they're a badass because they have it.

The Easter Ham is about ready to come off the grill, my brothers - Happy Easter!

Dude, I'll bet she giggled everytime one of 'em dropped or exploded... <lmao> That's awesome... You other guys - you should see her on a semi-auto shotgun!!! :eek: :bat:

Damnit, I got the text, too brother - whilst at work. I was bummed when I saw that thing, for the price they've got on it. That's a fine piece of hardware.

Pounds = power, literally. This should give it a perceived (and real) boost in power over the other 1/2 ton trucks available. For drag racing purposes, the drop of 7lbs of static weight is the equivalent of gaining 1hp. That equates to a 100hp gain in the vehicle, all other things being equal. Aluminum bends in one direction. As soon as you try to bend it back, it breaks. I see this design costing owners ALOT of money in the long run... My $0.02.

Man, that guy doesn't like "Rob..." <lmao>

To combat ethanol, I only know of two product - Sta-Bil Marine, and Yamaha Fuel Med RX. Both products eat the ethanol in your gas. Both products are also fuel stabilizers. You can get the Sta-Bil Marine at any Wal-Mart. You can get the Yamaha product at any Yamaha motorcycle dealership (they should carry it). The Yamaha product comes in a little 3.2 ounce bottle, similar to the little 2-stroke oil bottles you get for your weedeater, and it should cost under $2 for it. <thumbsup> Shib, believe it or not, I'm very familiar with most of those gas stations on that list - sources for Race Gas in Phoenix. I've been to alot of them before. Also, there's a Love's in Sierra Vista, off Buffalo Soldier Trail, that sells VP100 and VP110 at the pump, but it's not on that list.

Brother, I was just giving you grief - I completely misunderstood what you were referencing... I get it now - you were talking about the locked door to the cockpit, to gain acccess to pilot, co-pilot... <thumbsup> I no-kidding thought you were talking about opening an exterior door to the aircraft, from the outside... <lmao>

Fcuk Ethanol. That $hit shouldn't be in gasoline, in any way, shape or form. You guys remember the stickers on your gas pumps? "May contain up to 10% Ethanol from October through April." $hit was supposed to be some kind of miracle for "winter weather, when temps are colder..." Those stickers probably haven't been updated on your gas pumps lately. Because it's not a requirement to update them anymore... Because your gas always contains "up to 10% ethanol" now. Year round. Always. There's a theory behind that, too...

How do those crew members get outside, to open those doors from the outside? Did you mean, "open from the inside?"

The UBR is ROCK SOLID, too. You won't be able to tell it's not a fixed stock.

Found this page, and thought it was brilliant... pun intended... <lmao> CopQuest has a Weapon Light Reference Page on their website, with several good bits of information. There's the primary listing of what's available in LED lights, and then another section for incandescent lights. Accessories are below. What I thought was a great additional bit of into was what fits in a holster the same as... whatever. Most holster manufacturers make something for the TLR-1, which has been around forever. Surefire models, too. This page lists the other lights that are damn near the same size, and fits a holster the same as TLR-1, or Surefire whatever... Good stuff. <thumbsup> Primarily only affects pistols, but you can mount these bright little bastards on a pic section on a rail on your rifle with no trouble at all. http://www.copquest.com/weaponlight_ref.htm

Shib, you move up to a progressive press, brother?

DAAAAAAAYUM, WASH!!! YOU STOLE THAT THING!!! :hail: :evil5: :happydrunks: <laughs> <lmao>

Only in Cali. Most other states, you fill out your 4473, get called in (unless your a CCW Holder), and walk out with the firearm. Probably both firearms, in the case of this sale. That 30-day thing for the second one is also because of Cali laws - no more than one firearms purchase in a 30-day period.

^^^ <lmao> <laughs>

You guys are possessed by demons... :fawkdance:

Here's a good read on the current ROE in A-Stan: http://rt.com/usa/battlefield-deaths-rules-engagement-change-862/ In that article, there is mention of CPT Will Swenson - research that guy. The ROE was so fucked up that he got out of the Army after that battle. He was very vocal about the fight, and the lack of support. His CMOH paperwork was "lost" after that. He said Eff it and walked. Got out. FTA - Fuk The Army. He did get his Medal of Honor. Ultimately. http://www.armytimes.com/article/20131016/NEWS05/310160032/Army-promises-changes-after-botching-Swenson-s-MoH-nomination
