    EUC (first time buyer) cleared in 14 days!

    I've got an 0800 appointment for next Tuesday July 5; I will make 2 trips since I only live about 20 minutes away from Nellis AFB. Better safe than sorry!

    EUC (first time buyer) cleared in 14 days!

    I'm just glad that you were OK and nobody got hurt! Whew! Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it, and yes, I've had things break on me more than once...that is why I like to build in my own redundancy, even on things that you wouldn't expect problems from. My luck runs contrary, and so I've...

    Holy crap, my second EUC cleared in 14 calendar days...submitted 6/9, sent to Battle Creek 6/14, Customer Notified (cleared) today 6/23. Not bad! Now I gotta figure out how to fit 5 M105 trailers onto my 24-foot flatbed trailer.... :shock:

    EUC (first time buyer) cleared in 14 days!

    If you are looking for a B.O.V. then I'd suggest an M109 (6x6 with van shelter body mounted behind the cab). Get the multi-fuel engine, and there is a good thread going right now about running various fuels in Deuces in the Alternative Fuels section...

    EUC (first time buyer) cleared in 14 days!

    I know this is long overdue, but THANK YOU to everyone who gave suggestions for adjusting the ride level for the trailer. This has since been fixed by rotating the lunette ring on the trailer tongue 180-degrees to lift the tongue, and by raising my pintle hitch on my offset shank. Thank you folks!

    EUC (first time buyer) cleared in 14 days!

    I was the winning bidder on an M101A1 trailer, which is in amazing condition and complete with bows & tarp. Brandi at GL EUC Center helped me get everything straight on the EUC, and 14 days later it was approved. Chris at Nellis AFB DLA (Nevada) helped me locate & hook up the trailer. No...
