If you're not trying to keep it original I'd agree with simp5782. I have one of the factory ones and it'll keep the cab moderately comfortable when it's 98° out but it's definitely not cold or near what a car AC will do. My truck was bought to stay stock for air shows and MV events so I wanted...

Last week or the week before (don't follow them that close anymore) a M1079 went for over $16k before fees/taxes. And I can't even get $14k for mine that's running, titled, 95% tires, Air Conditioning, etc, etc, etc

Not from around here, are you? Throwing out terms like "hater" doesn't get you any brownie points. As was rightly pointed out, doing something stupid just to be different still equals STUPID. Someone with more money than sense can throw a deuce bed full of cash at a rock and be called "an...

Probably didn't want to get his tires dirty.

Just tried to go back and edit the price in a classified ad and there was no edit option for the original post or the one following it. The 3rd and 4th could be edited so just wondering if there is a time limit (month wise) on edits? This is the 1st time I've had to edit something that's over...

OP hasn't been on since Sep of last year either.

Did he say they were in San Antonio? NDT is actually over by Houston so 150 miles or so further east.

Not saying it can’t happen but I haven’t heard of any runaway LMTV motors and single circuit brakes aren’t exactly safe. I’ve owned 10-15 deuces so not like I haven’t been around them but don’t appreciate vehicle bashing by people who don’t own LMTVS. I can bash it on my own.

And deuces never have ANY problems sarc/

Mine never leaves pavement because I just use if for shows and parades. However, it does have a working CTIS with a "SAND" function so you don't have to worry about manually airing tires up/down. And it's already a 4x4 so no modification needed. AND it has Air Conditioning in case the sea...

A little more money but you get what you pay for. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?181513-98-s-amp-s-m1078

Like I said, if they want to pay me as much to rent it as I'm trying to sell it for then they can trash it and I'll sell what's left over for parts. But it won't move out of the driveway without a contract in hand specifying that they pay me X amount PLUS provide their own insurance for it. I...

They might have a requirement that they run before renting or buying them.

Well mines for sale so if they want to rent it for what I'm asking then even if they trash it I'd still have parts to sell.

What are they offering?

You can buy my LMTV (in the classifieds) and put 1009 in the bed :)

The Acela's are actually rebuilt from the ground up so they've got more than just a nice paint job on them. They also come with a 1 year warranty so more than you'll get anywhere else. I just think they're a LOT of money when you don't have any experience with the vehicles and not sure what...

And that would put mine at probably 2% of the cost of the Acela.

While it's not a 6x6 I have a 1078 in the classifieds for 15% of the cost of Acela's 4x4. No it hasn't been rebuilt from the ground up but it does have A/C, 95%+ tire tread and it's 15%, not 15% less, but 15% of the cost of an Acela. Why not buy one that's affordable and test it out before...

Typically no. The government/military rarely gives up ownership. Talk to some of the folks who have recovered planes after 60 years at the bottom of a lake just to have them confiscated once they were restored.
