    New MEP-802a, couple questions....

    Auction rate locally (on trailer) has been $1800 (cranks, no run, 70 hrs) to $3700 (Runs, 48hrs) with some stuff in the middle to make you scratch you head.

    Military Vehicle Scrap Yards (Humvee)

    Interesting. I'd heard from a scrapper how he was burned by bidding based on the pictures to show up and find out that the vehicles had had more parts removed post auction, and since title passed as the "scrap" crossed the scales, no foul. But it sounds like parts removed by a unit, not a dude...

    M923A2 easy way to put a lock on the park brake?

    When there's gonna be kids in the cab and not me, wheels get chocked and the tanks get drained. I'd close the valves when the tanks are empty though. Keep ambient air out.

    Kirkland Class Cars?

    Went pretty well. Lots of good appreciation and feedback. Only one raving nutcase, which is pretty good for the Seattle area. They were a bit unhappy I didn't pre-register and tell them something that size was coming. So oops, my fault. Took some work to get it parked, and wound up a bit out of...

    Cooland Tank Replacement

    So, how much trouble am I asking for with these bolts? PB and an impact gun, or some safer way to pull them out?

    Could be. Both are GD Canada vehicles.

    Kirkland Class Cars?

    Anyone going to the Kirkland Classic Car show this weekend, or have been? Thinking about taking the 5 ton, but wanted to see if anyone had any experience to share.

    Knuckle boom mount?

    Went searching, and came up empty... Anyone have a knuckle boom crane mounted to a M923/925? Specifically behind the cab. Looking for how the exhaust got moved, and what you did w/ the downriggers.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    While I don't doubt it's true the truck could take it, I've never see a M939 truck w/ separate cross country / highway load ratings. M35 and M813, sure... (And the 813's used the same axles IIRC, so why the labeling changed I don't understand.)

    Helmets When Driving

    That RCW leaves the com headsets as fine, as long as they're not hooked to a radio. And they enforce the mudflap law on jeeps more than trucks. People at work complain about the ticket all the time just after lifting their jeep.

    GOV Planet Tax issues

    I'd send them this: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=82.08.0273 and a copy of my driver's license. But, you should also read 4(a) So it's an optional perk. GP may choose to not give a *** and not honor the perk. Ironically, the state of WA does honor it for their own surplus auctions.

    Fake GM Water Pump?

    And tens of millions of people whose standard of living is making that stuff for us. It's a complicated interweaving.

    M925A2 Hauling capacity

    The truck weighs 10 ton+ empty... So is that 20t total, or 20t plus curb weight?

    USMC Retreads aircraft from Davis Monthan to make up shortage!

    C++ is the programming language. C+ is likely the standard of the F/A-18C with some added improvements. Not enough to be an F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, but better than a stock C model.

    Vehicle Intercom Systems

    Look at the Sigtronics Transcom II systems. Hot mics all the time on the intercom for chatting. You'll need an adapter for the phone, but they exist.
