Hmmm... This makes me curious. Any problems encountered driving your registered MV back on base to pickup something from another auction?

They bid 75.29% to DLA. Their payment system seems setup for business to business. They're cross advertising with the IP site. Whether this payment system will work for GP will likely come down to how much of the sales from GL were hobbiest, and how many of lost sales GP can replace with B2B...

"Oh, you worked motor pool?" And just keep on going.

I don't get this at all. It's an auction. They want to sell it. If it sells for 10K+ now, it means someone else is willing to pay 10K+ now. The only delta between starting at 10K and selling for 11K and starting at $150 and selling for 11K is that some folks who bid in the middle got to dream...

The home page mentions the date of the auction. I re-read the rules... And by the strictest letter of them you can't show information that covers that. Because some po-dunk barn auction's home page may show a date that only a few people know about and want to keep quiet. So the same seems to...

What we need is for a surplus store to register their name as Et Syrplus so it shows up Etsy or something.

So, maybe dumb question, but is this really a new motor problem? Damage further than the single cylinder liner?

Or people will take out HELOC's (Which makes more sense anyways if you're going to carry debt) There's a bunch of ways to pay for things other than visa if you don't have the money. And most are cheaper over any reasonable time frame.

And mine bent. I assume from the weight (extra) of the 14.00's over the 11.00's. Was like that when I got it. On the "fix it" list.

There's pictures on ebay of one folded. "Folding Steel Davit Frame, Spare Tire Hoist Crane for M923 M939 & M900 series 5T" Hopefully not linking to it will prevent auction related deleting. I'm not promoting the auction, but it has the data requested....

Gotta admit, I was looking through the first set of picts, and said "Eh, nice Deuce." Then the engine pict. Wow. Clean. Nice. Beyond that, well. Married. Good to see a safe relo.

This would depend on where you were buying it from. (Private / GL) For me, I'd attempt a drive off recovery from JBLM (if there were ever any trucks there) but would have a haul plan in place. Call it 60 miles. Private party in good condition with no known issues that seems well maintained, I...

Well, get the Home Depot yard stick as a fuel gauge. Comes pre-labeled. And if you want a Deuce, don't test drive a 5 ton. Did me in, even though I still think about a Deuce.. <Ducks, runs for cover>

People who were on the fence are now buying as a result of the temp freeze. I'd been wanting, thinking, etc about getting one for a few years, but always had a reason to spend $$$ elsewhere. Then temp ban. Now resumed. But maybe not forever. See Izhmash shotguns. Faith that if "they" want it...

Look at the effect of the chemicals used to treat the 4x4's on steel. I'm not sure how wet the wood will get, but I'm cautious about where I put ACQ treated wood.

Suddenly boring I am. Checked brakes. Removed hard top, sand blasted, bondo on rust / mounting holes. prime / paint / install. Need to fit better. Replaced axle vents with line routed to cab. See if that fixes the leak in the front axle. Noticed one front boot cracked. Ordered new boots. Got...

I doubt that switch controls all the power, it's got to feed a relay somewhere. (I can hear it clicking when I flick it) Look for it in the TM's. :-)

Does one of the TM's have a diagram of the entire air system for an M923? I'm looking through the first parts one, and while it's got everything in detail, it's kinda hard to stitch all the exploded diagrams together into a high level view. Perhaps my search foo is just weak tonight.

Reading the tm today and watching someone tighten thr nuts with a pair of channel locks on you tube, I was wondering how the heck you got the correct torque that way. Now I get it. And id be happy to buy a set if you still make them. You should see what the socket to change the impeller on a...

All of these vary by state. Research what your state requires. For example in WA: No CDL or endorsements if privately owned and not used for a business. Collector Plate Eligible if 30 yrs old. Insurable as a commercial vehicle that's privately owned. (But harder to get)
