    When talking about GL problems, we should all type "Government Liquidation" not "GL"

    When talking about GL problems, we should all type "Government Liquidation" not "GL" Simply typing out "Government Liquidation" instead of "GL" can change how seriously our complaints are taken. It seems silly, but putting the full name in there will make a difference. When we all say GL, we...

    HMMWV Contact Truck Body Recovery

    Picked up the contact truck body I won on a GSA sale today. Had to sit it kind of slanted on the trailer, but the frame was plenty strong to carry it like that. The folks at GSA were very helpful and easy to work with. The body is complete, all the doors work, and there is very little damage...

    MICLIC project slowly coming along....

    I finally got the ball rolling on the first of my 2 MICLIC's. I got it on the M200 trailer, got the inert rocket mounted, and have pretty much all the small incidental stuff located and with it. All I lack at this point is the box that held the line charge, and those have shown to be very...

    Problems with "non-standard" VIN's on post 81 MV's

    I know most MV's made after 81, with the exception of CUCV's, do not have VIN numbrs that conform with FMVSS standards. Has anyone had any problems with the DMV issuing a title from an SF-97 when the VIN was not the in standard post-81 VIN number style? Looking for NC DMV experience...

    Can anyone pick up a trailer at Hooks...

    GL Incompetence strikes again........

    Won some lots last month, my card was initially declined (my fault, had an automatic draft come out that dropped the account a few dollars under), no big deal, contacted GL with the 5 days via live chat and asked them to rerun the card. They didn't. Well, they claim they did, but a trip to my...

    Ft Bragg MICLIC + M200A1 recovery

    Made it to Bragg to pick up my M200A1 and the MICLIC mounted on it, as well as some tool boxes for Carnac. Very uneventful trip back 360 miles. Also snapped some pictures of an M1025 HMMWV that had a parachute accident.

    Fontana yard info

    A serach here showed a picture from 2007 that a member posted that showed two inret MICLIC rockets there. I need two rockets, and want those if the price is within reason. Does someone either have the contact info for the yard they can send me, or would be willing to check on them for me?

    I go by Roberts often, since I only live a few miles away- figured I would put some pictures up.

    NC-Ft McCoy and back

    I will be going from Asheville NC to Ft McCoy WI on 4-5 August, and returning 27-29 August (dates may change a small bit). I will be in a pickup and can haul items in the bed as needed or tow, towing I would need a little money to offset the extra fuel used. I will likely head through TN, KY...

    Hello from NC

    Hello from NC. I have been in and out of the MV hobby to varying degrees as time allowed for the last 15 or so years, I was on the mil-veh list back 10 or so years ago but eventually dropped as other things took my time and I scaled back my collecting. I found myself coming here more and more...
