Thanks so much for all replies. This site is full of good folks :smile: I've cajoled my GL representative into a favorable arrangement that I think will solve my problem. They may take a darned long time to do paperwork but if you chat with them for a minute they're all good people. The...

:oops: All, I've gotten into a severe bind: I engaged a shipper to pick up a M35A2 and a M35A3 that I bought from GL at Nellis AFB by the first of October. He has had a logistics failure and is unable to pick up by the deadline. As many of you know, if these trucks don't leave GL by the end...

how are the physics? Based on where the pivot is, it seems like this would be hard to dump if it was full of something heavy. Have you filled it up and tried to dump it? I love the camping setup: who needs a M109? ;)

Two more for the seer of the OD crystal ball CARNAC, I've gotten lucky enough to get hold of two more M35A2s: a. 053912891 b. 04K50771 c. 2320000771617 d. at GL auction out of Ft Riley, KS e. None a. 022521939 b. On inside of the passenger door is painted 4M0854, but there is no...

Welp, I finally got in touch with Eric; he was busy but he farmed my request out to one of his guys and I just got 2 units delivered. Eric & Hotshot gets two thumbs up from me. (although, his Web site still seems a little messed.) Moral of the story: if you can't get a hold of a trucker in...

If you want something cheap and you're not going to go fast, get a set of Treadwrights. They are not going to last a long time and if you let them go too long, the worn out tread will detatch and yes, that may break your vehicle. Inspect your tires. I've had tire stores try to mount TWs and...

I'm a chicken when it comes to CARC but before you start thinking about sanding, think about how you're avoiding your exposure to CARC. Plenty of threads around on this subject. I know we're talking about 4" square here, and I know we're likely talking about aftermarket paint, and I know we're...

Also, WTF is up with his Web site? I think it got hacked; Google and Firefox both seem to think it has been compromised. Does anyone have good experiences with a hauler they would like to recommend for a haul of 2 M35A2s from KS to WY?

Anyone hear from Eric recently? I just got a couple released out of 5084 and I'm having trouble reaching him to set up transportation. I know he's the guy to do it, but if I can't get a hold of him pretty soon I may have to call an audible.

M35A2 request CARNAC, thank you in advance for this invaluable service. Per the rules I will not ask what DB you are plugged into but I hope you always have a login. :-D M35A2: a. Serial #: 022513751 b. Registration #: 4K033 c. NSN: 2320000771617 d. Acquired from: Private party sale out of...

You should set it back up and do it the wrong way. Post a video on youtube; instant classic. Nice looking trailers.

bzzt Really big capacitors, trickle charged off solar. Or maybe charge the caps up in town and haul them out there charged? Back to reality, you could build a loading-dock sized platform out of concrete and rebar, and the only way it would be mobile is if you backed a deuce up to your...

Government Liquidations isn't flawless. Their system is getting better but I've definitely run into some snags and I don't think it's over yet. For what GL is - an automated way of buying things from the government - it is actually pretty amazing. Not only did they puke on WY/Wyoming, but I...
