    Anyone spend all day at Creekside (ohio)

    IMHO the problem with that location is lack of organization and a mission plan. I have been there twice and both times the wait was excessive. The first time I was there I overheard two employees discussing the screwing they were getting from GL HQ in AR. Hours cut, overtime cut, people leaving...

    Got me an M750 :D

    Frodo, That is a nice score......make a good hooch for a rally. Timtrucks just recovered one using a gooseneck trailer and his big Ford dually...they weigh between 12 and 15 thousand pounds so you need a trailer rated for the weight and with good 12 ply or better tires. Another option would be...

    bad customer service

    I lost two trucks and had to pay GL 300 bucks to reinstate my account because no one in the accounting department can be spared to tell a customer his credit card has been declined. They sent an email that prob hit my spam box..they only send one. In my case I have two cards I alternate between...

    Mileage?

    Often when I have a deuce on display at an event (usually a shameless attempt to sell trucks) some wag will point out the low fuel milage potiential of a deuce. My responce is "well I make my own fuel for about a buck a gallon or less so it really doesn't matter to me what fuel cost". If you are...

    Height of M35A2 with box?

    The legal hight on the US interstate system is 13'6" but most bridges are at least 14' since there is always a chance of snow accumulating and raising the road hight. On side roads things tend to differ....by law all power and utility lines have to me a minimum of 13'6". That being said I have...

    Bridge truck on CL in MA CHEAP !!!!

    It was a pontoon bridge.....each truck carried a section which was launched by backing into the water. The pontoons were hooked together into floating sections. Other trucks carried small boats that were used to push the sections around and to open and close the bridge if there was traffic on...

    Chrome stack deuce?

    OHHHHHH......the humanity!!!!!!! I hope by now someone has taken that poor deuce on small axles out and performed an assisted suicide on it. As for the Malibu Deuce.......there is a part of me that is drawn to it like the moth to the flame. HUMMMMMM.....Gloss black M816 wrecker.....400...

    M35+S-280 vs M109 inside and outside dimensions

    The prob with the shelter is no windows. It is much better insulated than the 109 body but not wired up for shore power like the 109. The shelter is removable (provided you own a wrecker or know someone who does) so you still have a cargo truck. Interior wise I think the 109 is bigger. I have...

    Deuce Games

    It sounds like you have a pretty good handle on what to do.......military units often had drivers "rodeos" where drivers could show off their skills. Your SFC might want to give a short Preventitive Maintainence Checks and Services (PMCS) class to acquaint the prospective operators on how to...

    My 1st M818

    Most of the time "does not start" translates to "I left the batttery switch on and now I cant charge the batteries". Take some slave cables or two hot batteries and a set of HEAVY DUTY (made of welding cable not Wally World specials). Make sure you wire the batteries for 24 volts for jump...
