    No shortage of M998s for GP/IP

    Unpossible that the number of trucks released by DLA may be a factor in what's available. Must be conspiracy! Must.

    No shortage of M998s for GP/IP

    That's optimistic. We seem to get a bunch of flight line trailers.

    VeriTread.com - Estimates & Transport

    This. I've more than once seen a driver get out of his cab, walk to the shack and ask for his paperwork back. Cause tired of waiting in line for an hour+ to get cleared on base. I've all but stopped buying from GL due to the hassle and plan on 3 hours for the gate now.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Replaced the coolant tank with one that doesn't leak. Previous would always leak out a gallon and not allow the system to hold pressure. Exhaust bolts cam out way easier than I'd have guessed they would.

    Back Up again from GP auction?

    There's a reason the local auction place requires you to put $300 CASH in their hands for your winning bid to be accepted on all cars, pickups, & vans. Immediately, or they start move past you.

    GP Hmmwv's sold with On Road Titles.

    Got Florida to follow it's laws? Can't have it both ways... Similar laws in WA are the reason I don't own one. Can't register it for off-road use. Too large according to the current definitions.

    Back Up again from GP auction?

    Terms are payment in three days, right? "Hey honey, do we have 8k in checking?" Wonder how often that causes a default.

    The Centipede aka my new 1988 m35a2c

    2deuce meant the filters on the F-250 that got the bad mileage I suspect. I haven't tried to track mileage with Costco vs more expensive diesel. Mainly because I don't track mileage. The cars do OK with their gas, and get what I expect for mileage.

    M998 with no EUC necessary?

    And then they have to discover the figure out if the title was washed, or if a state has a process to legally remove the brand. Similar to the way you can get a brand removed in WA for a off road motorcycle IF you jump through some hoops, and add some lights. (I have no idea if any states do...

    MEP-803A recovery and the first "long" trip in the deuce

    Something like this. https://www.amazon.com/Sta-Lube-SL4344-Fluid-Oil-Pump/dp/B000CPIOBA/ref=pd_sbs_263_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=TTHJQXNF0KYX3Y5V7NEQ Good call on the generator, picked one up from JBLM last March. And yeah, replace that Zinco.

    M998 with no EUC necessary?

    That's also not washing. That's taking it home and titling it. Me buying one out of JBLM and doing some paperwork shuffle with someone in another state to go from branded SF-97 to unbranded WA title via titling in some state that doesn't have the brand and then re-titling in WA to get a clean...

    M998 with no EUC necessary?

    That would be the point of branded titles, and why title washing should be viewed as fraud.

    Hiab 026T crane install

    Same here, I've got the wet kit off a marine truck and a winch from a 925 already installed. Just ordered a Prince selector valve in 3/4" and once I figure out where to mount it I'll order the rest of the fitting and hoses. And them play fitting Jenga round III with the existing winch valve.

    Hiab 026T crane install

    Ok, got it to stop spraying oil everywhere by reading the manual and hooking the hoses up correctly. And of course the boom wouldn't extend both sections. Looking at it I had an idea it was just rusted in place, so I dumped about a can of PBBlaster down the boom and let it soak over night. No...

    Hiab 026T crane install

    Ok, got the crane out of the truck and on the ground. Then stood it up and bolted it to it's temporary home while hydraulic testing and painting happens. Of course the bonus hydraulic winch sprays oil out this little puppy constantly, so apparently I need to find it's manual and not just the...

    Hiab 026T crane install

    Came upon a Hiab 026T loader crane for a decent price locally. Decided to take a bit of a risk on it, it had been a back yard find by a new home owner a few months ago, and he wanted it gone. Bit rusty in a few spots, so it's gonna need a paint job at least. Manual extension boom sections...
