Went out yesterday morning to pick up my new M890 from GSA Kansas Forestry. It was a super straight truck with 3,564 miles (actual). Must have been in war reserve still had the paperwork when it was retired from the Army to FEEP at 1,800 miles. Only minus went I inspected it last week was the color,small hole in cab for light bar, no pintle, tailgate and the military lighting system had been completely removed except for the trailer plug.
When we got out there the first thing I saw was a bent hood and grill then the bumper and R front fender! The damage to the front matched Hyd cylinder of their rough terrain fork truck. I was not happy but it was either take it or leave it. The only saving grace is that I have M880 parts truck that the only straight panels on it are the hood and grill. 1st picture is from a week ago, other are at the pick-up. Changed fluids, put in battery and went for a 30 mile shake down this morning, was very happy as it runs and drives great! Just have to prep for paint.
