I don't know if you like road trips, but I have an M105A2 trailer in really good shape with regards to rust - it has what appears to be a ceramic bed liner applied, the paint is in great shape, and all the lights work. I accidentally bought this before researching what is the correct trailer for...

Excellent score on your truck! Congrats.

That's a great looking truck; congrats!

I don't mind fixing smaller mechanical issues, but I am by no means a full-time mechanic or have access to a lift (beyond a 3-ton floor jack ATM). Transmission swaps, welding, etc. would incur labor costs, which I am trying to avoid. I am a DIYer and work doesn't scare me, but I also like a...

Where did you buy? GP or private sale?

You're west of Fayetteville?

That crane is awesome; I contemplated one with a crane - especially since I have a sawmill now. 🤔

I actually hopped up in one during my last visit to the Fayetteville GovPlanet yard. Sound advice.

🤔 Good call

A running BAE 1093 just sold for ~$13k. A running Stewart & Stevenson went for ~$7k. All in the last two (2) weeks.

I already own a 1986 AM General M998 HMMWV. The wife was super happy about that surprise. But lesson learned, I have forewarned her of my recent irrational fascination with owning an LMTV: Stewart & Stevenson family or BAE (liking BAE as it has A/C already). She's not happy about that either...

Gotcha. Looking at a replacement rear diff for the M998: is the ratio 2.73 for all M998s?

😬 What do I not want to see come out?

I put it in "H", started it up, and the rear drive shaft spins, but no movement from the rotors or half-shafts

Other than the splattered grease, no visible oil leaks (all aftermarket dried mud still installed on undercarriage).

I revved the engine, the front wheels were ready to go, but the rear did nothing. I have had this thing see-sawed on a dirt mound and seen the rear wheels spin, trying to autocrawl. In neutral, I can rotate the driveshaft easily. I noticed grease by the driver's rear half-shaft. I just...

I looked; rear drive shaft spins in "H"

Recently my 1986 M998 converted itself to front wheel drive only. Even in "HL", which is supposed to lock the rear diff (right?). I have recently replaced 3 of 4 half shafts and none of them were broken (hindsight). I jacked the rear end up, chocked the front, put it in gear, and gave a little...
