From Marriam-webster "bob": to cut shorter :crop<bob a horse's tail>

How do you "bob" a deuce without cutting the frame? A "bob" means to make shorter. You can single out the tandems without bobbing, but than that isn't "bobbing". Also frames can be lengthened... it is frequently done in the commercial truck world when a truck gets reconfigured... like a tractor...

I noticed that GP is doing oil analysis on some of the trucks they are selling, but not on all of them. I understand when they note that fluids were drained and they could not start, but on the rigs that they did test run why would they not report analysis results on all of them? After comparing...

They don't have their story straight.

as far as I know there were 120ish sold in 1999 through a Marine corp sale, these are the ones that are road legal today. The current sale is an Army sale... no other military HMMWVs have been released to the public. I think piecing them back together from parts would have been impossible...

My only thought is that these were 2009s instead of the late 80s early 90s that most appear to be. That might be worth something to somebody? There was a runner also in WV that sold for 1 bid over minimum, so there has got to be something about these two that we are missing. I don't think there...

$8250.00. a second one at the same site, also without a motor, sold for $17500.00.

Essentially they are operating a dutch auction... start high and if you get no bids drop it back lower. There was a HMMWV out of KY today that was a runner without a body, opener this morning was 10 K, but it got dropped back to 7500 a couple hours before the close.

And would re-affirm my conviction that there is no need to jump from a plane just for fun.

I saw some re-listed at a lower start price today. They should be selling this stuff to the highest bidder regardless of price rather than fooling around with these high starting prices.

It's a possibility, the listing has "Frame Damage" on the product review. "Missing motor" might embedded in the ground somewhere near Kandahar.

Any speculation on what happened to this one? I am thinking it was launched through the air and blew the suspension out when it landed. We certainly can't blame a GL forklift for this one. I am also curious why it was worth so much, when some runners are not selling at 10 K? *photo attributed...

When I have a leaking trans on anything I just dump fluid in it from time to time. If it sat a long time the seals may have dried out or shrunk some and once running and heated back up may seal up again.

The real question is what is preventing people from sending the bill of sale to Florida and getting a title, or just registering them in a non-title state?

Yes numbers are pure speculation... god only knows how many ended up in FMS. Many did get up armored.... 80 K lost in war is too high of an estimate I think. Official US causalities (death and injury) in Iraq is under 33 K, even if every one of those were in an IED/HMMWV incident we would only...

So I posted back in October 2014 that these where cleared for public sale and would be going to auction within a few months, and everybody basically scoffed, and than the mods shut the thread down.... so here I am to gloat... My sources were right. :clinto: On a different note... prices will...

Not many years ago many said the FMTV would never go to the public... so who knows?

I don't think it is unreasonable to think they will be going to auction whole...given how many of them were produced and now need to be taken out of service. It would be unreasonable to think I could afford one. I got the information from a DRMO/DLA officer as we looked over dozens of them...

Has anybody else been hearing rumors that the ban on auctioning HMMWVs to the general public is about to be lifted? I have been told that unarmored surplus HMMWVs will be released to public auction in the very near future, but they will be sold as off-road use only and no SF-97 will be issued...

Yeah there is tons of trucks out there. I don't know how much of it is FMS hold though vs pending IP auctions. But definitely 100s of trucks. I haven't seen that many trucks in one DRMO lot since the infamous Boone Center Deuce sale of 2010.
