Maybe we should publish a magazine for just this singular purpose? You know follow along on recoveries, take pictures, discuss the issues, sell 'em to the public, make a tidy little profit, divy up the proceeds, start a scholarship fund, organize as a club, advertise services and surplus. Just a...

You see though, that's not really the impression that I'm getting from my neighbors. The looks say it all. The looks on the guys faces say "Oh WOW, Cool, Awesome, I wish I had one of those." While the looks on the girls faces say "Oh no you are not, I wish he didn't just see that, I should have...

Now hang on a sec. Ruppster, your location on here clearly states MacDill AFB, Florida. So how is it that you were required to file in Virginia? I thought that you filed from the state that you declared as home base. In fact they interpreted their own regs in such a way as to be okay with me...

Can I ask why you felt you needed to buy such a big vehicle? I thought that it was only the other guys (except for me) that felt the need to compensate for their ahhh... shortcomings. Are you just tired of your little hatchback or do you envision yourself driving carpool in a deuce through two...

The requirements here in Michigan are a little different than the ones in Florida. As I understand it, in Michigan a motor home is defined as having a bed and a cooking surface. When I filed for my IFTA permit there was a space on my form that asked for my DOT number, so I called up the DOT...

I've recently had a very stressful experience with the Michigan Dept. of Treasury Special Taxes Div. - IFTA. After reading a few of the blogs on here regarding your individual experiences I had decided that it was worth looking into for myself. I had determined that since I owned a multi-fueled...

Hooray, the M109 is finally back in my driveway. I'd like to send out a special thanks to sn8ke8 and his friends who really came through for me by allowing me to split the cost of a flatbed back from Meade. You are a credit not only to yourselves but also to this club. Good luck and have fun...

Hello Fellow Michigander

Let me see if I can get this right, Sn8ke8 would like to know - If we let all of the air out of the tires (which are 9.00 x 11) or jack up the truck remove the tires and rims all together can we lower the height by nine inches in order to get it below 13' 6" if the trailer we're loading it on...

Wow, well it doesn't look like I'll be buying one of those M35's. You jokers are just too rich for my blood. By the way you do realize that these were F7's. Well, I pray that you get em all and that you live nearby. Good luck with that.

I may have a bead on a couple of M35A3's down at Wright Pat. I'll be previewing this friday and deciding which one I'm gonna bid on in the Feb 8-10 auction. I hope to score one and then as long as my EUC clears by Feb 28 when I start spring break I should be able to recover it myself. Otherwise...

No, no luv as of yet. I ordered and paid for a brand new set of tow bars from eastern surplus and krall went and picked them up. Then I paid off the mechanic and the towing company that had provided the initial tow. Krall picked up the vehicle for me and now it's sitting at his house in...

I would like to send out a special thanks to all of you who have replied to this thread. I believe that we have a solution. I have purchased a set of tow bars from Caswell at Eastern Surplus and krall has picked them up for me. I've sent the checks out for the initial tow and the mechanic's...

True, however he did tell me that he was not an internet person and he kept exclaiming how the military vehicle differed from the "regular" deisel's that he was used to. He told me that he used to know a fella that had one of these but that he had never worked on it and that the guy ended up...

You see, now this kind of feedback is why I'm proud to be a member of this crew. I've got some great options but no solution yet. I just sent an email off to fasttrack logistics for a quote, but I'd really like to give this job to "one of us".
