It gets better. They told me sometimes it'd crank and not start... Classic air leak in the fuel line in a 30+ year old truck... So when they listed it, they made it sound like it wasn't running. So I was fully expecting to have to replace a bunch of stuff just to get it to start... and one of...

This only applies to a resident. This is why I suggest putting vehicles in a Trust, out of state. A trust is not a resident of the state, AND serves a legitimate and lawful purpose (estate management). An LLC has to have a function, and an LLC that solely exists to hold a vehicle so it can be...

I paid for it.... I think I got a steal.. $7100.... I'm thinking there's at least that much in parts in it if there's major issues. Now gotta schedule the pick up. '90 M923A2

It's not the lens that melts, it's the LED emitters that get dimmer and dimmer - premature failure due to heat, not to mention rapid dimming when in use. Increased heat = increased resistance = higher current draw and you have a cascade failure. Modern LED bulbs also thermal throttle, but they...

I'm just saying there are better options out there. Out of 1-10, worst to best, you chose #2 or #3.

If you're planning on going offroad, I would recommend against the M934. The wheelbase is a bit...dramatic....

....and it's absolute garbage using 20 year old LED technology with no heat management.

I've been yelling about shills since the takeover by Ritchie Bros. Virtually overnight, the number of defaulting bidders and trucks that were relisted a month later went off the charts. Trucks went from $500 start and ending at 6-8K, to $4500 start and ending at 12-13K, again, virtually...

My intent is to live full time in a box... :D I had an M934, but realized the box was a waste as to design around the folding out sides was dumb. So I sold it. Here I am a couple years later and my how prices have changed. $4500 for a 5 ton? HA! They're 3x that now, easily. I ended up...

Problem is, as shown in the pic, it's govplanet.. and the truck is ~2k miles away. Looks like I might have to pass on this one :(

To me, it looks a little too dark to be just old/dirty coolant, and the small drops seem oily.... Thoughts?

Here's what I used... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NW4V66I I flush mounted mine. Simple hole saw...

The wife says it looks more like a 4"....lift....

How much can the trailer flex and still maintain connection? Maximum angle of attack? That kind of stuff. Looking through the TMs and not finding much on the 931. I'm debating on a M923 with a 14' van body in lieu of the bed, vs an M931 with something like an M129 or M146.

Another member on the local FB page had the title revoked on his MTV about a week ago.

I just sold one vehicle, and I'll be selling the M1031 next, very soon

Pretty much. Not only as dinghy, but also held tools, spare parts, etc.

EMP can be an issue, but so can anything.. I used to build HERF devices when I was younger. I learned a lot. Most electronic devices I was able to zap, even microcontrolled, came back after turning it off and resetting power on the test subject. Higher amplitude emissions did permanently damage...

Not to get too far out into the weeds, since 'zombie apocalypse' and 'shtf' discussions are banned on this site, but it's not 'zombies' that people prep for when they say they're preparing for a zombie apocalypse. It's the idea that there's an ever-present enemy, that is constantly trying to...

To wit; re: Deuce - I used to live next to a farm. He had an old 1930s diesel tractor, I think it might have even been a Ford... He would ALWAYS park it at the top of the hill next to his barn when he got done... a couple times I saw him start down the hill, silent as a mouse, and about halfway...
