    Cheap LMTV's no more

    I've been looking at auction prices on our favorite LMTV auction site and prices are going up and up looks like. Nothing worthy of fixing has sold for less than $5K in the Continental USA. Some have even gone for the teens and twenties! Is now the time to sell?

    I've been DERAILED (removing rail from under bed)

    Yeah different strokes for different folks I use mine to drop freight off (amongst other things) it's unloaded/loaded with a forklift so height isn't an issue, but carrying 6-8 pallets at a time means I only have to make one trip.

    I've been DERAILED (removing rail from under bed)

    Making a 4x4 from a 6x6 ?

    Making a 4x4 from a 6x6 ?

    All the 6X6's are 290hp. The back part of the frame on the M1088 is quite a bit different that the frame of the other 6X6 trucks. Not saying it can't be done but it would be alot more effort than just removal of the 5th wheel.
