    Tucson to Ft Bliss to OKC to Ft Riley to St Louis, and back.

    Couple of pics from fill up this morning, and now stopped at the rest area on I 40 somewhere in NM....

    Tucson to Ft Bliss to OKC to Ft Riley to St Louis, and back.

    Getting back on the road. I cut the zip tie off the fuel solenoid at shutdown last night and it was not required this morning. Truck started at the first hint of a flip.

    Tucson to Ft Bliss to OKC to Ft Riley to St Louis, and back.

    That'd be a bucket of water (starts out as ice) and several cloths. One on each leg, one on my head, rotate them frequently. Cat litter buckets are not in short supply at my house, and the size and shape fit.... :)

    Tucson to Ft Bliss to OKC to Ft Riley to St Louis, and back.

    Made it to rgs20inophir 's about 90 min ago. The only issue with the truck so far is the fuel cutoff required a zip tie. Fortunately Carnac had one available and prevented me from resorting to duct tape.

    Tucson to Ft Bliss to OKC to Ft Riley to St Louis, and back.

    And now I've made it to Antony TX. I've spent many a night asleep here in the truck. Carnac is on his way to meet me here and we'll be handing stuff off shortly....

    Tucson to Ft Bliss to OKC to Ft Riley to St Louis, and back.

    First stop - the rest area at exit 319 on I 10 EB. TX canyon in AZ. I like this place and stop here every time I drive through.

    Tucson to Ft Bliss to OKC to Ft Riley to St Louis, and back.

    So begins my latest ill-conceived trip. I'm leaving momentarily , driving my M923A2 and towing Carnac's M101. First destination is Carnac's to return his trailer and hand off some goodies to pass down the line. I'll update this with pics at each trivial little stop. :)

    55,250 dollar lol

    I'm just the opposite :) I much preferred GLs poor descriptions. You take some risk, but you get some good deals because GL'S "won't start" just means they flipped the switch once and it didn't fire right up. I bought trucks from GL for scrap steel prices and drove them 1000 miles home from the...

    55,250 dollar lol

    Making accusations of shill bidding is a pretty serious allegation. Felony fraud charges would be warranted if this could be substantiated. One thing I did like about GL as opposed to GP is that the unique bidder number allowed for trending: if bidder 12344678 consistently bid in such a way as...

    Expandabile Van Drivability

    Wheelbase makes more of a difference than you'd think. If you set the cargo truck as baseline, the M934 is quite a bit less nimble, and the M931 quite a bit more nimble. As an example I frequently squeeze my cargo trucks into a regular parking place without too much difficulty, just a little...

    M917 Towing Capacity

    GVWR 75,000lbs but that doesn't answer the tow rating. If we knew GCVWR we could derive it but I was unable to find that listed anywhere either. Sorry to be useless...

    it isn't really a trailer....

    A few FPU got out intact, but the vast majority required mutilation.

    Low air/parking brake buzzer inop but warning lights work

    If the buzzer is the first notice you get that there's a low air pressure problem then you're not watching your gauges closely enough... If you can hear the buzzer at highway speeds in one of these trucks then you hear a lot better than me... (plausible)

    Are the passenger front seats and the rear seats the same?

    In the picture you see a slightly elevated driver seat and a lower passenger seat. Are these passenger seats the same as the back seats?

    just installed off road design tube doors on my m1009

    I like them. I wonder why you couldn't use them in PA... Don't jeeps drive around there without doors?
