Shyt, it's worth $2K in scrap metal (don't tell the seller that). Treat 'em like Pokemon as ya gotta get them all! (concentrating real hard, praying to myself): I can't use the credit card, I can't use the credit card, I can't use the credit card....

I agree - M246. Very cool, not common.

There are still a few M880s floating around as grocery getters on base. They are not fielded in the tactical sense. When I say few, I mean probably less than 10 throughout the whole DoD, however you never know with these bases and outposts way up in the middle of nowhere. Remember the auction...

CME Armature advertises in MVM. I used them, I got back a beautiful alternator, but the bill was about $200 and change.

I picked this up from BigCASE last week when he swung up here. It is your standard M416 1/4-ton trailer, I wanted one for a while since I sold my old one years back and missed it ever since. I wish I had taken some digital pics of that trailer, I rebuilt everything ground up, $600 worth of new...

Yeah, it was to convert the unit to run off a 12-volt battery, not the standard military 24 VDC one. I removed it since the picture was taken, and put the pintle hook back in its place where it belongs.

Well, this will be ending up in the classifieds shortly. I was going to fix it up, but I have too many projects and need to narrow down my aspirations. This is a Barnes 275-gpm fuel pump, can also be used with water. Uses a 4A084 gas genset motor for power. The pump, I was told, works great...

The first and fourth pics are civvy re-paints. The 2nd is an actual Army fire truck, and the 3rd is painted Strata Blue. It also belongs to a SS member here...

No. And as long as people keep bringing up the subject of swapping axles for smaller ones, or ugly truck contests, it will keep re-appearing to remind people that an MV should never go to waste like this.

Someone could've used some skidplates at the Haspin rally in 2007.

Got a couple pics saved on my hard drive of other colors....

Thanks guys! Anyone have a spare one they don't need?

I wouldn't. The 5-ton is a LOT heavier than a 2.5-ton truck. Those axles would be under a lot of stress and for safety's sake, I would not chance it. It would be kinda like the guy who had a few cases of beer and did this:

I saw one on I-81 being towed down the road on a flatbed, looked in good shape. They will get out someday, but it might be a few more years before they say "get rid of them all". Heck, the CUCV series 1 is still coming out surplus 25 years after they were accepted, so I wouldn't hold my breath...

This time with the pic.

When you're looking behind the front panel of the MEP-003a 10KW genset, on the outside there is a small eye-bolt used when helping to lift/adjust the genset when loading, but there is also a hole about 3" diameter or so, nothing is in mine. However, I found this pic sent to me by speddmon...

Good job on working the deuce! So, what did you charge the man for righting his excavator? :)

Does Kublo's have a junkyard, where you can pull your own parts like TNJ or Memphis? Or are they more along the lines of a vehicle dealer? Might be interested in making a run up there early in January for shyts and giggles to see what he has.

It may have some issues now, but judging from your past work, it will be a show winner soon!

The APCs are US-made M114 APCs. The Sherman looking thing with the boom on top is a M31 Recovery Vehicle, and in fact, based on the Sherman hulls. The tank after that is a M48-series US tank. Then a Dodge Power Wagon military variant of some sort, looks greatly modified. The 5th picture is a...
