It's here! I'm on my iPhone and it's dark, so no pics till tomorrow. Overall very happy. Canvas top is separated from its plastic retainers at the windshield. Something is up with the brakes (like pedal almost to the floor before it starts slowing down). Glad I had it shipped. It was dropped...

Hotshot Transportation Company. The fellow that owns it (Eric) is here on SS under the username 'heavy'. I haven't talked to him personally, but his office assistant Michelle has been very nice to work with so far. It won't be Eric delivering my truck, rather someone that Michelle is familiar...

I've used Diesel Kleen and Sea Foam both in my 2006 Dodge Ram since it was new (not at the same time). Cracked a fuel line last year and wanted to play, so pulled an injector to look at it. Looked virtually new. Truck still runs great and if anything my mpg has steadily increased over the years...

Well, it's shipping. Be here Saturday. Yeah! $1,500 but absolutely no stress on my part and no time off work. Money well spent, I think. Next time, with a little more knowledge of these vehicles (and hopefully a little less stressful work life) I'll do the recovery myself. Oh yes, there...

Thanks, GE! Haven't been on the site long enough to know any SS members in Vegas, but I'm liking the truck stop idea. Why didn't I think of that. Hmmm...

Seen a bunch of pics recently. Don't appear to be armored in the traditional sense, but they do have a nice roll cage installed. If your name is 'Lurch', the extra cab height would probably be a good thing!

Thought about that. All my friends have desk jobs and loadout at Nellis is only allowed Tues and Thurs. If any of them were 'gearheads' they might be up for it, but sadly I'm the only one. Not really getting a lot of interest from them in taking the day (at least) off and following me on an...

Regardless of my decision, Murphy will be at work. If I have it shipped, it will be in absolutely flawless condition and give me no trouble for at least 500 miles. If I go pick it up, the transmission will fall out halfway between Las Vegas and Kingman (precisely the middle of Nowhere!). As...

Thoughts on loadout Thanks all for the replies. I'll try to answer some questions about loading out, or at least post some musings... Here's where my head is today (direction subject to change at the whim of the squirrel driving the little wire wheel up there, of course): Options! Option 1...

It certainly looks like it. I can't wait to check.

Looks good! I'll put a wrecker next on my list, too. After the M923 gets here!

Yep. If the boots, NASCAR jacket, and cowboy hat didn't prove it, the 923 will for sure. Yee Haw!

Awesome! Just awesome! Beautiful fabrication and really well thought out design. Thanks so much for taking the time to share the build with us.

Haha, If they're full of gold coins I'll let you know! Maybe they're full of zombie heads? Greasy broken fan belts? Perhaps I should start a poll? Or a contest! "Guess what's really in the sandbags and win a cigar!" I'm going to be so disappointed if its just sand. Thanks for the offer in...

If it was a normal sized pickup, I'd consider that. However, it's a Dodge Ram 3500 Quad cab Long bed lifted 4x4... You know the story. The mother of my children calls it my 'Big Stupid Redneck truck'. I wonder what she'll think when my kids tell her about the M923??:driver: Maybe she'd let...

The sandbags are totally what clinched the deal... :-D

I don't know how much longer this will be up, but here is a link to the GL video as well... http://brightcove.govliquidation.com/services/player/bcpid63425179001?bckey=AQ~~,AAAADradqYE~,ohPmayTAiXxAn1bxgE0rLV9g0vb3jraF&bclid=0&bctid=2725277009001

And, since I realize that nopics Here are the ones from the GL auction site!

Hi Guys, Well, it looks like I'm the winner of one of the M923A2 trucks which closed last Thursday 10/17 at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas. I mailed a bank check to GL on Friday, and since they're only 100 miles from me, I anticipate that they will switch my invoice to 'paid' either later today or...

That looks fantastic! What a treasure. Thanks for sharing.
