    M939 hardtop on a 2011 Honda Civic

    It was a pleasure to meet Mark and his son. I had my doubts when I saw the Hondo but they made it work with some "redneck engineering" and shrink wrap. And it was turkey......yep....turkey....raised it out back in a cage. I swear it was turkey.:wreckerman893:

    Movie Vehicle Rental - Central Texas

    If it is a paying gig make sure you have a signed contract expressing exactly what your vehicles will be used for and the daily rate. I charge 300 per day plus expenses for the M927. Do not, under any circumstances, let someone from the production company drive your vehicles unless they have...

    HMMWV's for sale, no longer maybe, it happened

    The last time I was up at Redstone they had over 100 HUMVEES in two lots that had to be demilled. Demilled to the point where you even had the shear the tires and rims. I had a long talk with the GL site manager and he told me that those were the last two lots that would be demilled. He said...

    mixing new unused vegitable oil with new unused motor oil

    I've mixed them without issue but didn't store the mixture long. My recipe for a hundred gallons of "Deuce Elixer" was 30 gallons of WVO, 30 gallons of WMO, 30 gallons of diesel and 10 gallons of gasoline.

    m923a2 with straight pipe

    Better buy some hearing protection.....the "nifty 250" is LOUD without a muffler. The turbo on the 8.3 helps keep it quiet.

    Lws on m920?

    To the best of my knowledge none of that type 900 series trucks ever had crew served weapons mounted on them because there was no where to stand to fire them.

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    The two best days of my M816 ownership was the day I got it and the day I sold it. It was a self-inflicted wound since I didn't preview it and bought it from Shelby (a known rebuild facility with a history of cannibalizing trucks). It's the only truck (out of over 200) I ever bought from GL that...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I went out to the pasture and told the M275 (deuce tractor) that maybe Santa would bring it a new owner that would give it some love.

    Anyone here ever take a deuce cab and put it on a commercial truck?

    The only question I would have is why would you want to lose all the creature comforts of a civy cab and replace it with the spartan deuce cab. If I had to drive an MV every day I would consider putting a civy cab on it.

    M939 Recovery / Extraction Shaft

    The truth is stranger than fiction judgy wudgy. Okay......now my interest is piqued. I have the driveshafts that came out of the M927 I scrapped out. My first suspect would be the one that ran from the front axle to the transfer case because it is long and has the splined shaft section. I...

    Transfer Case Low Range Reverse

    If you are repositioning with no load on and just ease along you can use low range in reverse. If you apply torque you risk damage. If your linkage is adjusted correctly it should not be hard to shift from hi to low.

    What is the going price for a 5 ton?

    Prices have gone crazy due to Government Liquidation losing the contract for rolling stock. You will pay a few thousand more for just about any truck being sold in the next two weeks. After that you will have to buy from Gov Planet and they start prices high. PM sent.
