Does anyone know if the MTVR's being sold have runflats in them?

I'm looking for a someone that worked in Sealy building BAE Caimans or someone that has a lot of experience working on them and that's familiar with the A/C systems, wiring, etc. who might be looking for some part time or maybe even full time work. I've got some of the FMTV based (leaf spring)...

I've got a M1088a1 and would like to look into putting HEMTT wheels on to widen the stance. I think I'll pick up about 3" per side which should put it right under 102". I could be off with the dims, it's been a while since I measured it. If it requires any machining, etc. I can do all of...

I've seen the data plates on several M1088a1 trucks and the GVRW has been different. On one 2004 it's 45446 lbs. On another 2004 and a 2005, it's 20446, which is the same as the curb weight of 20446. Has anyone else seen this or have an explanation? It seems unlikely that there would be a...

I'm looking for a 5 ton FMTV, M1088 or M1083 and have a few questions. 1. Will HEMTT wheels fit properly, I realize they might be twice the thickness at the mounting holes and can change to longer studs if needed. I want to increase the overall width. 2. Do any of the 5 ton MTV's come with...

Does anyone have any English speaking contacts in Germany that work on and are familiar with the systems on fairly current German armor; Leopard 1a4, Marder 1a3, etc.?

I have new Michelin 395's mounted on new HEMTT wheels that I am going to mount on a 5 ton. The problem is that I don't have the truck yet. It was going to be an M52 multifuel tractor, but having driven one this week and being very disapointed with the power, I'm now considering an M931 either...

I'm trying to post my first for sale vehicle listing in the classifieds and am told I don't have access to do this. What can I do to get access?

I just took my project M51a2 dump for it's first drive since buying it and it won't downshift while moving. I may have gotten lucky once or twice, but if i'm in 3rd, 4th or 5th and slow and try to downshift, it just grinds. Upshifting seems fine and clutch seems fine. I'm new to these...

I just spent 30 minutes typing a very detailed account of my search for the right first MV for a build that I am going to start. Anyway, my fantastic 1000 word essay vanished immediately upon hitting submit, aaagghhh! It was perfect and detailed how I came to decide on an M51A2. This is not...

How are you guys shipping small wins from GL? I'm bidding on some small items and have a carrier for LTL / pallets, but i'm talking shoebox size stuff? Any help?

I'm new to SS in the last month or so and new to GL winning 4 auctions during the last week. I'm nowhere near any of the GL sites and needed a freight company to schedule and pick up my goods. Well I found a great freight broker that has done a fantastic job of setting up the pick up and...

Hello all, I just lost about 15 minutes worth of typing on accident, so if this is a little cobby, sorry, i'm in a hurry to re-type everything and hit the sack. I've been looking for a MV for my 13 year old and I to build into a Bug out vehicle, (although we have nowhere to bug out to). I've...
