I paid 3000 for my truck from a private seller. It is a VERY fresh rebuild so it has given me little grief in the mechanical department at all. It needed all of its tires changed. I adapted an LMTV top and cage to it and tore it down and repainted it. So far with all expenses I am into it 4200...

You can get a socket that has the 1 1/2 inch up front and the bud nut deeper in it for changing the rears. I keep that, a crappy 1/2 inch impact and a nice breaker bar/cheater pipe in the tool box. Runs great off the glad hand. I found a 12 ton bottle jack works great too. I keep a couple pieces...

So you got that 109. That was a nice truck. Congrats. Are you going to put a whole VIC system in this one too? -edit- I was taken by the gravedig....

The best part about those was power braking an M1 onto it in low and the look of panic on the truck driver's face when the tank belly flopped onto the trailer.

Have you tried looking at a salvage yard for a 1 ton pickup? Maybe way cheaper to clean out a junker of parts then get a cucv and tear it apart. Even if you have to rebuild stuff.

mine does the same thing Scott. Reads to 1/2 then drops to 1/8th when it gets that low. You are pretty lucky to find all the parts. Running WMO has turned my tank into a oil sewer.... it is totally not transparent, at all.

My god, I don't think there is a part on my truck made past 1998 minus the lmtv top and cage. Nice looking. It even has padded floors.

All of that will just make you love it more. Welcome to the site and your sickness. Nice story.

Holy Crap that is a good price.

I bet they had a lot of fun building that. I bet lots of beer flowed past that truck.

I drove the fin version of the fox in Bosnia when we did some cross patrols. They called them SISUs. They drove awesome but the all wheel drive was terrible. Get those center wheels off the ground up hill crossing a ditch and you are not moving..... ask me how I know. Great thing to drive though.

Things like this make me love this forum.

Girlfriends come and go. I would only worry about it if I was married to her.... like I am to my wife. Just get the truck and have fun with it. I would seriously get an a2 rather then an a3 though.

Heh, or you can do like Tony and put the truck so far in the air they need a guide and an air tank to just get in the cab in the first place.

Save save save. I made about that while being a student full time when I got mine. It is do-able.

We need to make him a stencil of an ostrich, head in fender, tapping a wrench aimlessly on the truck.

Yeah, Brad had them. I just got done sanding them down and found a ricochet on one of them. If they could talk.... Do you have a back plate on any of them? How did you mount the rear ones? BTW, that a2c you brought to the rally was so freaking awesome. Did you do all that stencil work?

I got a set of ring mount legs after the PNW convoy last weekend for 25 bucks each :jumpin:but they seem a bit short. The long one is 57 inches long and the short 47 inches. Is this normal? Also I want to mount them to hold a dummy 50 made into a water cannon I am building. I am just going to...

I cleaned brad out of the rest of his "new" tires. He has ones with good tread on them left but most have weather checking. not bad for runners but I would avoid putting them on steer wheels.
