Bomber, from past experience and also looking that the final bids on the closed auctions, mosts lots of textiles are going for about $800, but hey you never know, I got a lot of 6 tri-walls for $410.......but as you said..........new 5-man arctic tents, only got one out of it but well worth the...

Helps alot for target acquisition

Well I have yet to see a vehicle that will outrun a bullet/rpg or what have you.  Yes faster moving vehicles present a harder target to hit (lead time is a bummer), but if the bad guys want to get you, regardless they will (my personla view) Yet some say there is not a lack of driver...

Take at the remanufacturing of the M35 into the M35A2 and A3 variants, same engine and transmission as the FMTV's, CTIS, all kinds of goodies on a simple platform (and yes the air over hydraulic issue was dealt with).  I haven't a clue how to attach a picture on here, but for a feasible option...

There are quite a few insured and on the road in Ontario.  In most cases when the vehicle is bought at auction you can go to the MTO and have it registered as an Off-Road Vehicle  (ie a little green and white plate ala motorcycle/atv etc...).  To have it registered as a motor vehicle, honestly...

Thanks Paul, I am already aware of the forthcomming auction.  Still looking for any info on them, i have been using one of the slef loading trailers about the acreage since last year, but this has been the first opportunity to acutally get a Supacat.

We went from the 5/4T and CUCV to the LSVW, was this a step in a better direction, ie going towards a military vehicle versus a modified commercial vehicle?  Should the MILCOT have replaced the 1.5T fleet?  Only one post thus far has shown a positive aspect of the vehicle, regardless of what we...

yum, shredded squirrel, partridge and rabbit, and lots of curry

Dynaglide, Thus by improving the accessibility for operator maintenance, by removing the filter prior to the fuel pump, we created our own problems.  As you are in the know, when i did my SME conversion on the LSVW, part of the DVR/operator's daily inspection was to drain the fuel filter (ala...

  Regretfully Mr Wallace I am not a sales rep.  Vehicles since the 1940's have been able to achieve speeds in excess of 80kph easily, the factor is the vehicle the military is driving, ie a much greater COG (center of gravity) and load potential.  My 52 tracotr can do close to 50kph, it may not...

Thank you Dynaglide! most of the issues you mentioned are relative to the 'being built in Canada deal' . The fuel tank build was sub contrated out (among various other pieces) were manufactured, yet sat in storage, waiting for the vehicles production to ramp up, likewise with the bodies...

just to add spell check messed up a few, hence ramp breaker.....is ramp break-over

The CDN version of the IVECO 410 was a first production run (ie bran new tooling), yes within the first year or so close to 100 mods had to be done to the vehicle, similar to any new manufacturing venture.  Here are the most mentioned problems with the LSVW. 1. Squealing brakes - they still...

I wonder how many of the "factory reps" were ex-military adding some cushion to there pensions?  The LSVW's problems are solely a result of the Canadian Governments procurement process.  The majority of the gripe that surface are from the average use, and some operators.  Its the vehicle we have...

Don't forget that the actual cost of the individual vehicle is much less, the contracts provided for a large amount of spare/replacement parts also.  So imagine buying a new car, then getting all the parts you might need for the duration of its life............the cost of that Honda Civic easily...

I am considering buying an ex-DND Supacat, just wondering if anyone has any information on them.  I have visited the manufactures website but information apart from the specification is somewhat limited.  should anyone have any experience or experiences with these vehicles, I would be grateful...

Ideally see if you can get hold of the Basic Cold Weather Pam or the older Operations in the Arctic Pam,  241 is erecting the tent properly, without going into all the individual roles, tent come out of the toboggan, droped in place where it is to be erected (as it should be folded properly thus...
