Haven't seen the 72 since 2006 since i didnt ship it to Germany with me and the pictures I had saved on the computer, got lost when I had to restore it here , really miss being able to work on the older ones and the new R/T wont solve that but its  a start :biggrin:

Welcome to the site.  Just got back after a year over in Iraq myself.  What part were you in.  I was a trainer for Dyncorp on the MRAP.  Congrats on your purchase.  Just about bought one myself before I came back.  Again welcome to the site.

I was in Kalsu myself.  Was there for a year.  Was suppose to go back but no word yet on that.  Stay safe and take care.

Welcome to the site!  I'll be on my way over there in October.  You'll probably be on your way out or gone already.

Stay safe!!!

I was stationed in Germany many years ago, back then you were sent to Vietnam.  I never went because my brother was over there.  Thanks for your service from an Army vet.  Starting to see a few of the new Challengers around here, but would like to see pictures of your and some driver feedback.
