I don't believe that is an accurate price even given that the government paid for it. Average "new retail" for an '86 Blazer was $12,000. As these were stripped down, i.e. no carpet, radio, a/c, etc, with the gov't markup the 12k is likely a more reasonable price.

It's not nice to contradict someone with their own words. Especially at Christmas.

I'm guessing there was CA money in the last auction since UT isn't that far away.

Well I wish they'd stop posting more of these scrap vehicles that are just going to the Australian armored door guy and get to posting more LMTVs in TX.

I'll take any statement about what's going on with a grain of salt because that's about as much as it's worth. We all know from past experience that DLA can change things at will. One batch sold and there's the start of another batch coming so there you have it. Personally I'll spend 20k on...

Having been exposed to the military's preventive maintenance I wouldn't use that as a selling point.

Well if you want to borrow one I'm sure we can make an arrangement.

No updates from the OP since March of 2010 so you're probably not going to get your questions answered.

Hopefully this will help others get a quick idea.

The key I left him was a correct cut. I had 10 made from an original and all of them have worked on a variety of CUCVs so I'm guessing his ignition has been swapped out or at least mangled to some degree that the key doesn't work.

I'm going to try and make it tomorrow but doubt I'll be in a MV. Is anybody considering taking part in the MVPA 2015 Convoy (or at least the TX portion)? It's going from DC to San Diego and will be traversing TX Oct 1 - Oct 10. If I wind up with a LMTV before then I might do Texarkana to El...

Wonder what the MC on the firewall is from. I suppose they wanted one with a bigger reservoir or didn't bother looking for an original one if the factory unit went bad. I missed the replacement when I looked at the photos the first time. I would check the fluid and try bleeding the system to...

From the photos I think I can deduce the brake issue.

[LIST=1] Slightly off. Cashel, Ireland. But no trees is a good clue.

Celtic Cross at the Rock of Cashel (the remaining pieces are on the ground - that thing is HUGE)

Successful recovery yesterday. Love the WWII desert camo color :)

I was just contacted by the vehicle wrangler for this event. He generously offered to pay transportation costs for the vehicle and nothing else. I politely declined.

The MEP systems have redundancies because if something fails in the field the mission fails. If something fails for me all I have to worry about is my freezer thawing out. My redundancy is my MEP003 and in a pinch a 5kw gas generator. All that said, I don't store my fuel cans outside and, at...

Back to our regualarly scheduled program... I added a new spin-on fuel filter. Pretty easy other than all the drilling I had to do to set up a bracket for it. The 1st photo shows the filter base and filter, both obviously from NAPA. I had to pick up a 1/2-1/4 reduction fitting to get the...
