    tent frame for#8340 00 7823 425

    Your picture is the expandable frame tent. I have one setup in the back yard for 7 or so years now. There are several more of that type of tent & the MGPTS medium tents inside of that tent. They are all OD green except for one that is tan & never set up. It is still in the shipping crate that I...

    tent frame for#8340 00 7823 425

    The last tent frame & cover I sold went for $700.00 & the buyer took it home, put it in his rat infested barn & the rats ate holes in the fabric. He still has the frame & destroyed fabric part, but he will never sell it. He bought it @ a meet & picked it up there with his trailer. Sad...

    S-280 Electrical Shelter Plug Connection

    Hard enough to find it after researching the male end of the connector in the a/c & matching it to the connector needed! The price was high, but the connector was necessary!

    S-280 Electrical Shelter Plug Connection

    I bought a lot of stuff from Gov Liquidation, but I never bid on anything that had a demil code that required destruction before removing the equipment from the base. To me, that is insanity.

    S-280 Electrical Shelter Plug Connection

    I found all the connectors that fit my S-280 from fellow collectors for the main power, but the a/c connectors were removed from the wiring system internally during demil. There is a company that stocks these milspec connectors, but they are not cheap by any means. Amphenol is the manufacturer &...

    M35 Cargo bed cover mods

    Years ago, I needed a tan cover for my first Deuce & the only one I could find was a part of a GL lot of 4 new in crate, complete unissued in Oklahoma. I won the lot & then got skewered with the truck freight shipping charges to Florida. The first cover went on the Deuce & was perfect for all...

    Shawano County, Wisconsin Police Interaction With Belligerent Military Truck Driver!

    It is very vague in the news report, but lots of times that is the way they roll. Our hobby does not need any more negative publicity than we have had to deal with over the years. No need to encourage the public to see us in a negative light!

    Shawano County, Wisconsin Police Interaction With Belligerent Military Truck Driver!

    Yesterday right before 18:00, police were called to stop a person who was driving a personally owned historic military vehicle. There is not much detail on this other than the driver wouldn't stop driving & had a flat tire on top of that. The police tried to use a snowplow to stop the driver...

    What are your experiences with GovPlanet?? Good or Bad

    Best thing that happened to me was when GP suspended my account when its computer auction system showed I won a wrecked Police Car in Albany, when I was bidding on Hummvee tops in Lake Butler, FL. I tried to explain after calling the office & they flatly stated, you pay for the car & pick it up...

    AAR-50353-001 & AAR-50353-002 Mobile shops units

    My second unit was a shop van & it was picked up on a goose neck trailer, loaded with a big forklift (inspect it before & after loading for damage), brought home & unloaded with a set of straps tied to a tree onto 6"x6"x8' PT timbers. We pulled over the 10" diameter tree when the shop frame got...

    AAR-50353-001 & AAR-50353-002 Mobile shops units

    It is heavy & bulky, so when you go to pick it up, be prepared for that. Which one you won, I am not sure of, but good luck when you do get it.

    AAR-50353-001 & AAR-50353-002 Mobile shops units

    Go to ARR website & you should find your info there. Which unit did you get, the workshop or the office unit? What shape was it in?

    Fuel not getting past Hydraulic Head

    You might want to start a new thread so people can see a new problem & thread, not the year old one that has been run for a while. I have been thru this with my second Deuce & got it running good. The first one has always run like a young stud bull & never let me down.

    How to- MRAP Eyecon Light kit install on M923A2

    It was explained to me that if I changed the paint job or added a business logo to it or even added the MRAP lighting system, they would pull my tag & change to title to an off road tag only. The truck had to stay as it was when it came out of the military to continue with a title & tag to use...

    How to- MRAP Eyecon Light kit install on M923A2

    I got one of those kits from GL back a few years ago & had to ship it to Florida. After it arrived, I found out that you can't install it & keep the on road tag, so it sits in the original cartons it was sold in, inside of one of my shops. One way to get out of the work of installing it. I have...

    Possibly Forgotten Demil Items?

    I put an inverter in my Deuce mobile shop that will top out @ 4Kw with a pure sine wave, not a modified sine way. It is 120vac only, but is fed by a 8 battery bank of 165amp hour marine deep discharge batteries which are charged by the inverter if hooked to shore power or the solar array on top...

    AAR-50353-001 & AAR-50353-002 Mobile shops units

    I found several brochures from the manufacturer of these units & how they were built. There was even a video from the start of the frame to completion which was quite interesting to the point that I bought two of them & probably would have bought more if transport could have been arranged...

    AAR-50353-001 & AAR-50353-002 Mobile shops units

    Both of the units in the above pictures came from Iraq & had loads of very fine sand (almost a dust) in every crack & corner. Still, I could have never bought anything commercial like them for the price that I paid for these. GP sold a dozen or more of these units @ a location near me & most of...

    AAR-50353-001 & AAR-50353-002 Mobile shops units

    The particular unit that we are discussing, I have two of & neither are insulated. They are manufactured with a 3/4" plywood sandwiched between two sheets of a fiberglass material. The frame is a heavy duty mil-spec aluminum cage. There are two other units that I have that are manufactured of a...
