    Speaking of colors, it appears the background in the forums is green one hour, then grey another. Is it just me seeing this. I'm using the same laptop. Are there two different servers with two different background colors? I love the green. Reminds me of Las Vegas Casinos, and how they choose...

    Driveability of 395's vs. NDT's

    Keep in mind, in this business things come and go. I remember when Hunter towbars were scarce, then became plentiful. I haven't see a supply of good quality Hunters with 1" feet in a year. And just finding a good set of one inch feet for less than $100 with clean TB pins is almost...

    I understand Andrew. No problem. I support the "No politics" philosophy wholly. Not suggesting it be removed. That's a judgement call by Admin. Just that the yellow background is like a bright neon light and it might be a bit less offensive, physically, on the eyes. It does appear to be less...

    The yellow banner thing used to be a double yellow banner at first, and with the early colors and background, I got a headache within 5 minutes of coming on this site. Things are much better now, and it is only a single banner, where the colors and background are far superior to the original...

    Demill scrap cargo trucks??

    Perhaps this will help you understand... No one in Intel in this Country is worried about hundreds of old military trucks in enemy hands, so much as they are worried about ONE old military truck in enemy hands. If there is an error in judgement in demil, better to err on the side of caution...

    Two successful recoveries from Redstone today

    The 5 lug rims for the M37 are getting harder to find now, and becoming more valuable with time if in excellent condition and can be reworked without difficulty. I'm having to buy whole M101A1 trailers with good tires/wheels just to accomodate my M37 in a full new set of wheels and tires with...

    Demill scrap cargo trucks??

    My take is, it is usually done to keep out of enemy hands. No need to resupply the enemy with special trucks, truck parts, or ammo, especially when those users of the special trucks may be misidentified as being Americans. On the other hand, these same vehicles can be purchased by foreign...

    Harbor Freight Tool Recall - Burn Hazard

    Thanks. Just for your information on a related subject, I got tired of burning out (wearing out)Dewalt 18vdc batteries, so day before yesterday, I ordered the newer 20vdc lithium batteries with my new 20 volt drill, and they are offering a $25 off right now. Still expensive for the two drill...

    Driveability of 395's vs. NDT's

    WOW! Shannon that is just amazing. You drive it to work EVERY day? Just curious, do you use it in your work? You might have the record for daily driving a Former MIlitary Vehicle (FMV) to work on a regular basis. And, you might have the record for fuel consumption on a daily basis in a FMV...

    Two successful recoveries from Redstone today

    One heck of a clearing job. Was it in mature timber prior? Not seeing stump holes, but looks like it might have been raked over. What a view that's going to be. Nice trailer.

    Driveability of 395's vs. NDT's

    So true Andrew. A3 wheels with tires and CTIS go for much more. It is rare to find them for under $300. If Andrew doesn't buy them at $150-200, I would. They would have to be seriously damaged if not. Just the CTIS equipped wheel without the tire is worth that in today's markets. Not sure...

    Found pieces of metal in tansfercase, it's a shame because i was going to sell it

    That strikes me as a handsome piece of equipment for $700. You are one lucky fella! to live so close. You might want to ask the question, what is the value of yours for rebuild. They might knock another $100 off for you. Unlikely it's going to do you any good, and this is the kind of company...

    Greetings from Orlando, FL

    Welcome. I was just there for Thanksgiving. Picked up a couple of special toys at Gander Mountain, while visiting my son in Debary. Good site. Good people. Well Moderated.

    fried battery cable, holy c***p!

    In my area, we have a battery and starter shop that does nothing but rebuild starters and sell batteries. They could hook up their equipment and do a load test on the batteries, then test in line with the equipment when trying to start, and tell you within three minutes everything you ever...

    Found pieces of metal in tansfercase, it's a shame because i was going to sell it

    In my area, with it running well and filters changed and xfer case OK, it would probably draw $2200-3500 without canvas, bows and dents in place. That's a really wide range of prices for the same vehicle, but it is asking price in the locality, IMHO. In your area, you just have to be your own...

    Found pieces of metal in tansfercase, it's a shame because i was going to sell it

    I look at the body. I need a good straight body. I don't want to be buying a bunch of sheet metal to put on new fenders, doors, bed, and such. You can get them cheap, and in good running condition, but you have to look at the entire package. GL assets are a huge unknown, even when screening...

    What's a good price for a 205?

    What's a good price for a 205?

    WOW. I would love to help someone out, but wouldn't climb up underneath it, jack it up, and pull it for $50. Not that I'm cheap, but really???? $50? Labor and parts too? I would think a couple hundred anyway for a known good working one. I know I would gladly pay that if I needed one. Good...
