I'm going back green with it, plan on hunting down the pieces I need to get it complete and original.
Hey Rumplecat I was there while they where moving the truck around, I seen you there with your M715 on a trailer....ofcourse I didn't know who you where.
I got it home today, it fired right up, it has a brake cylinder leaking real bad, some rust (mostly on the cargo doors, I'm going to replace the skins on them). I was able to replace alot of the missing parts, but I still need the rear extinguishers holders, and the rear shelf that bolts to the...
I bought the M45 from Goldsby GSA......I didn't preview it so I hope I did ok. Warthog took some good pics of it while he was out there, it looks decent.
Stock tow rating is 2000lbs, and thats on a stock YJ that weighs just over 3,000lbs.

I know there are a handfull of pics Ford Rangers and Explorers and even a station wagon out there pulling M105's. This must be one of...
I bid on that truck, glad I didnt get it.......I wish I would have been around the computer when they ended, I would have bid higher on both of those M101's with MEP-017's on them, they went cheap!
I wish I new you where bidding on those, I was bidding but not as much as i would have if they where a little closer.
Sure has been alot of them going through the auction I hope they start to show up closer.
All the 14 bolt conversions I have seen use mid 70's Chevy 8 lug rotors and calipers. You have to be carefull, there are two thickensses of rotors so be sure to get the pair that work together.
And for the 3rd time......you can't beat that price anywhere.
