Ignorance and a manual transmission will defeat 99% of all potential Deuce thieves :) But I do like the idea of a locking collar or bracket around the engine stop lever, that way you don't have to mess up any of the "stock" parts of the system.

Uh, leaving a trail so you can find your way back out of the woods? :)

But I think it was worth it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5vJeG0TKCo

Actualy, it's a bit decieving in that picture, but, it's not any more cramped in there than an M35, the big green angle-iron thing is mounted to the frame, and those eyelets on the top come up through the hood to serve as lifting points for loading and unloading the truck. I'm willing to bet...

Boy, ain't that the truth, 2 years ago, we bought an M35, and thought "that's it, we'll never be like these other guys who have entire fleets in thier backyards, they don't know when to stop, but we do" That was 2 years, 1 M105 and 3 M35's ago......

Looks are free, if you know the right people :D It's on loan to the University from the USMC for testing purposes, and I knew someone who could get us into the garage. As for what it's sticker price was, we can only guess it was darn expensive considering all the bells and whistles on it.

Brand new too, built in 1/06, and only has 27 hours on her, the seats in the cab still had that "new car" smell. Whaddaya think? Found these in storage compartments under the seats, joystick units for working the boom controls. The heart of the beast, a brand-new Caterpillar C12...

When do you need em' picked up? I live about 2 hours away from Letterkenny, and if you need me to haul em' home for you and then find a way to get them safely packaged and shipped to you, I'd be more than willing to help out a fellow SS member.

Every truck at some DRMO sites has a pan put under it to catch anything leaking, weather it's leaking or not. Though, in the case of McVeyMac's M35A2C it meant someone had accidentaly stabbed the pan with a forklift prong....

Ditto, the condition codes mean vitrualy squat, the only thing that's really going to tell you what condtion the truck is in is a firsthand visual and physical inspection, aside from that, you are taking a chance, even on a truck that looks really good in the pictures. Also as noted above...

I once drove around without any shoes on, but that's the limit to my nude driving...

You can actualy see the Cabella's water tower in that one pic :)

Well, we got McVeyMac's M35A2C home safe and sound late last night. An adventure as always. To see pictures of the trip, just visit this thread right here. He ought to be stopping by sometime soon, he's probably still sleeping all the miles off...
