    Glass scratches

    The HMMWV windows on the doors have a plastic coating that get seperated and leaves bubble like impressions as well. The glass ir readily available in NOS form, just look around. I bought some a couple of years ago for $40 each.

    Saved another one from the crusher/scrap yard.

    What makes the government's position almost insane is that they will not sell most vehicles other than trucks, including armor and tracked vehicles to the public or even to somebody with a licnese for $2K worth of scrap when they coul have sold it to a collector for a $100K. its not that they...

    Saved another one from the crusher/scrap yard.

    Actually, you can build a much nicer HMMWV than that with parts that are readily available. Basically just need a frame, tub, engine and wiring harness and you are good to go.

    Glass scratches

    Some of the armoed glass has a plastic coatin on the outside. I have had some luck with 3M plastic polish on scratches that are not too deep, especially with the thick glass.

    ***Fraud Warning***

    That's what i thought, but the Police in Wales went to that address and nobody is even there anymore. I looked it up on Google maps and the shop is for lease….

    ***Fraud Warning***

    I hear you and totally agree. But if you are trying to outfit a British military land rover radio truck, you need British radios……I have not seen many for sale in the US.

    ***Fraud Warning***

    Do not buy any british Clansman Radios or other gear from a guy who goes by the name tacticall-x-hire on ebay. I am out $1400 because I sent it to him and received nothing. Here is how the scam works. You buy radios legitimately off ebay. Then he contacts you and sends you to a link and tells...

    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    Yes, they sent me the SF97 without me even requesting it, but it was wrong, had the wrong serial number and the wrong date of manufacture. 2007 instead of 1986….they did this one on their own.

    Model year on Reconditioned MK48's

    I just received an email from GL yesterday….it seems many of the MK-48's used the wrong Vin in their title, which is actually a contractor's serial number. Both of my trucks had the wrong VIN and I was asked to go out and check the VIN to certify it. This started because they issued me a 2007...

    Purchase Private vs. GovLiq or other

    I did not read all the other posts but I have done it both ways. On GL, you take what you can get. It might not be exactly what you want, and the thing you really want will be for sale two weeks later. You also have no idea what is wrong with it, so you are taking a big risk. If the Allison...

    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    I received an email from GL today, it seems all of their vins for the last several Mk48 auctions were wrong….you will need to go fix them at some point. They used the same vin for all the sales.

    Who Bought Those Oshkosh MK-48s???

    Were they giving all of you "overhauled" dates as the year of manufacture? They sent me a SF that stated my truck was manufactured in 2007, and Oshkosh was not even making them that late. Regardless, CA would never allow such a truck to be registered as a 2007 model year and if they did it...
