Blackbear and I have exchanged a bunch of info back and forth this morning on the topic of towing the HEMAT with a Duece. Empty, he should be just fine. In summary: cage bolts OUT, all air lines connected, watch your air pressure because the 989 likes to suck air, avoid backing unless you...

Helobravo, can I use the pics you posted of the finished product on that well known auction site to sell my remaining mrap bumpers?

Not to put words in his mouth, but I think he was wanting a stock M1009 from the word go, and the mrap bumper just happened to be included in the package.

Check the city code carefully. Registered as historic already makes you exempt from almost all the commercial vehicle ordnance regarding weight and axle count. Want to trade it for a deuce? (Nonbobbed now, but deuces don't look quite so neutered when bobbed)

Statistics speaking, a happy customer tells 1 or 2 people.... an unhappy customer tells 8 or 10.... Looking at the view count of this thread, I've told 2004. These same people would have also seen a positive resolution had there been one....

GL has stated an intention to refund my purchase price. I haven't seen it yet, but disputing it through the CC is always an option. I don't think it'll come to that. I have them in writing with an intent to refund. The refund will be there. The problem is they've locked my account pending the...

That's how I interpret it...

Response received : " Thank you for your patience while the reply to the claim resolution was being assessed. Based on Management’s further review of the dispute below the original claim resolution remains unchanged. Sincerely, Caryn Bort Customer Service Claims ---------------...

They make (or you can fabricate) a draw bar for them. Otherwise, no it won't hook up. Either way, the RBU won't be powered. As Gunzy said, they're heavy... I'm picking up a mk16 July 2nd, using an M923A2 as the prime mover. I'll post more on it when I have something relevant to say...

If the HOA doesn't like it with 3 axles, they won't like it with 2 axles any better. Doesn't matter what the letter of the rules states either - they'll interpret it to prohibit the neutered version too. $50 per month should get you into RV storage. (I know I'm just echoing what was stated...

It's a steal at $1500. The winch is worth $1000 by itself. ... if it runs and drives I see no way you can go wrong.... I'd love to sell you my deuce, but bang for the buck on that yellow one can't be beat...

So how did this end up?

On a completely unrelated note, it's worth checking the frame and comparing numbers there (if any) with the numbers on the dataplate. I've seen 2 instances where cabs were switched around at rebuild and not only did the serial numbers not match, but the truck M number didn't match the build.

In the above mentioned truck my title says 1001AA470, my insurance says 1001AA470, and the dataplate says 1001AA470 with some extraneous stuff preceeding it. (You and I know what the extraneous stuff is, but to DMV it's just noise) . There are no numbers on the frame.... DMV may vary state to...

It isn't theft. LE sees this type of thing as a civil dispute. Further, by refunding the purchase price of the "abandoned" lot they remove any grounds for that. It comes down to them saying "if you want to ever bid again you'll pay 25% default fee". My response is "if you want me to ever bid...

I called GL's customer service this morning at 0800 and was told to pound sand, by a very polite and nice sounding young woman. (This is a paraphrase). I asked for a superior and was told to call back at 0900. I called at 0900. I was told the original problem will have to be addressed via...

I still think the least risk is having them force their system to accept the existing number as it appears. I've done this a bunch, with no problems. The only problem I had was when someone tried to add zeros to make it fit... Just my opinion and my experience. 90% or more of the time...

I'm with Gunzy on this one. They can force their system to accept a shorter VIN. They need to do so. I had plates revoked once because the insurance company added zeros to make it fit their system, then the numbers on the proof of insurance didn't match the title and didn't match the data...

And I agreed with you 9 posts ago, with occasional exceptions... :)

22,500.... so says the allknowing dataplate, fount from which all knowledge flows.... :)
