    Lifting a 809 or 939 with a crane.....

    Love it. The engineered lift points, special spreader bars... Then the reality when it gets to the port "Get a strap!"

    Tow Bar Stowage Ideas

    I went with under the bed. Accessible from either side on the side of the road. Don't think I'd use it if mired in mud.

    Can I use winch and drivetrain at same time

    So, I'm confused. To get the PTO to engage, and to disengage it, you put the truck into gear with the brakes applied and then manipulate the lever. Possibly needing to move the truck a few inches to get it to engage. Then shift to neutral to use. I'd assumed (but hadn't tried, because...

    My new M936A2 Wrecker

    Ok, I looked at that one. And now jealous. Nicely done.

    How many more HUMVEES for sale on Gov Planet?

    I look at some of the prices. And I see how inefficient government is. And I wonder if the net to the government is higher on the scrap sales as they are easier to administer. And then you can't have "Company XXX bought $BigNumber worth of stuff as scrap and made millions reselling it!" Throw...

    M103A3 at JBLM Recovery - advice requested

    Glad it's working out. I wish the logistics gate on no one. (And the visitors pass center on even less people)

    M103A3 at JBLM Recovery - advice requested

    WA has some issues with the federal government and our desire to hand out licenses to people who can't prove their identity.

    Sent a PM with yard location and google maps views. I'm pretty sure that's the Lakewood yard.

    Show Up Early. Very. Sorry it's on base. My record was 3 hours in line waiting for inspection. And they did a decent space accountability search. You can imagine how that goes with a semi who already has 1/2 a load. I've also been through in 15 minutes, depends on the day and threat condition...

    Savagleable, or a boat anchor?

    Well, huh. Learning. The opening at the top is 6x6 and tank is ~22x24x45H so I'm not sure how much access I'll get to the bottom. But it's in the garage and I'll start to beat on it real soon like. Fuel filter and perhaps a pump to stir it is now on the list. Thanks guys.

    Savagleable, or a boat anchor?

    So, took a chance on a 80 gallon tank to hook to my MEP-803 for an aux tank. Got it home and pulled the covers off of one port and looked inside... So my first thought was to not even bother unloading it. But I'm still kinda new to this, so this something that can be saved, or off for scrap?

    Yeah, saves hours on the pickup. (At least compared to my last couple of GL recoveries.)

    M103A3 at JBLM Recovery - advice requested

    Call Justin (local GP guy) and confirm, but all the JBLM GP stuff is off post already. He's really helpful. Those pictures look like their lot near the base, but outside the fence.

    Auction date changes, MK48 and Hemtt recall

    The speed of government is not the speed of the internet. No news may just be the wheels grinding slowly.

    Read / Unread messages

    How about if you never open a forum? I tend to go homepage -> new posts ->read some ->distracted by work -> darn, they're all read.

    Read / Unread messages

    Ok, so perhaps I'm missing it, but what are the rules around when messages go from unread to read? Example: I'll open a forum, see the list of messages, get distracted by life, come back in an hour and refresh. And everything is read. Or read some, and not have them show up as read, and then...

    I use a sigtronics transcon ii and their general aviation headsets.

    Weight of a NHC-250 piston?

    Anyone know the weight of just the piston off the top of their head? I keep forgetting to bring a scale in to work where my spare piston is, and it's the perfect shape for another use, if the weight is right.

    Current " FL Title " wait times from GovPlanet

    Well, it's been 6 weeks so far for a trailer... So this will pretty much ensure it's waiting when I get home tonight. :-)
