    2016 Ga Military Vehicle Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    Hey guys, I'm coming to a rally for the first time and I'm going to be bringing a partial pallet of 62 .50 Caliber ammo cans with lids and good seals along with my 925A0 (hopefully). I'm wanting $10 a can unless you want to buy the whole lot of 62 where I could negotiate slightly. I've got pics...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    replacing windshield seals and a passenger side door mechanism and then tomorrow it's going to be replacing the acid in the 4 batteries that came with it. Hope it all goes well. I need to find the small seals that go around the windshields because the big seals i don't think were causing my leakage.

    I like to dive head first into ownership, how about you?

    Yeah, they didn't have a year for this one either and according to the insurance company it is a 1991, but the rustproofing plate says that it was done in 1983. Oh well. Ehh, no. Actually it's because my first vehicle was a 1988 Dodge Dakota Sport and that was the handle I created for the forum...

    I like to dive head first into ownership, how about you?

    It got home! Shadow1, my experience was good as well. The guy jumped it for us, we checked the tires and stuff, and off we went, no blinkers, but whatever, the headlights work and the tail lights work, as well as the windshield wipers, so I was set to go into the storm that we had coming back. I...

    I like to dive head first into ownership, how about you?

    Oh yeah, I have already planned to bring at least two 5 gallon cans worth of fuel for that purpose. I don't trust what the gauge may have said.

    I like to dive head first into ownership, how about you?

    We'll see. Haven't even laid eyes on this beast yet and am starting to buy things for it like door locks. How deep does the rabbit hole go?

    I like to dive head first into ownership, how about you?

    Yeah, I want to be able to use the original batteries as I suspect it has probably just not been run enough to keep them charged up. However, I wouldn't want to go having to essentially replace everything electrical due to the alternator frying it. I hate electrical. All I got from them was it...

    I like to dive head first into ownership, how about you?

    Okay, so it is a "don't know till you get there" thing. Hopefully it won't derail this recovery too badly. Yes, Joe has acquired the needed equipment to towbar it, but I don't want to resort to that unless we have to. This thing is actually off-base already at some remote storage site, hence...

    I like to dive head first into ownership, how about you?

    yeah, Joe has got some of the appropriate slave cables for doing just that. What have you found new batteries to be running at? I just don't know what the battery type is for these off hand without looking through the tms at 1:30am lol

    I like to dive head first into ownership, how about you?

    Thank you! With that low range not working, it's strictly related to just the transfer case for the 6x6 and not for regular non-6x6 highway driving right? Or is it one of those things you don't know till you get there?

    I like to dive head first into ownership, how about you?

    I bought a 5-ton!!! Yay for me. The fees sucked and the taxes bent me over both ways, but I have it paid for and am going to get it next week. Thursday between 10am-3pm central time to be exact because there's no other time frame. Wish they had that somewhere listed before you win and end up...
