The cost of shipping ultimately forced me to stand down on this.
Hey Parker, I know the air field I know you are speaking of. I drove by their a lot I never saw a duece though.
If I get caught doing that I will get arrested. No one cares if I take parts or even if I get the whole truck out of here. But if I am seen just destroying it, that is another story.
I have hit brick wall after brick wall. I am certain I can pull this off. But the cost will go beyond what I was told. Plus, my time is running out. I am going to another base soon and I am not sure I will have enough time to pull this off.
I was planning on pulling all of it. That is IF I can get the tools and time and not get noticed. I still need a shipping weight so I can get an estimate. I did not get photographs of the area directly behind the truck. Tight isn't the word. Especially since it will take one or two vehicles to...
A grand may make it worth to hassle. I would save it for when or if I ever get one.
I know of several ways I could get it out. But that will require getting more people evolved and more equipment. Over here nothing moves with out paper work. There is no way I can be discreet about it once that...
Some one suggested I at least try and salvage the winch. I agree I should at least try. Can any one tell be about it? How much is it worth? I am asking because I want to know if the cost of shipping will be worth it. Not to mention the hell I will have to go through to find tools and pull it.
Well yet another challenge has popped up. I have not checked on the truck in a few days and during that time some one ran T-walls right in my damn way. The logistical issues have just gone beyond my limits. I hate to say it, but I think the fate of this deuce has been sealed. I am very upset...
Those are good points. I have soncidered them before, and although I am still looking into this I am prepared to walk away once I see it cannot happen.
The thought of spending more on shipping that it would cost to buy one out right bothers me quite a bit. But after seeing what happens to them after the Iraqis get them pains me.
I understadn what you are saying. I am still in the planning stages right now. I am very concerned about what may happen if some decides to accuse me of stealing. But I cannot help to at least consider this mossion.
Oh yeah, I am not longer in the military. I work in Force Protection and...
I am extremely limited on resources. I am trying to limit the people involved only a necessary few. This truck may be abandoned by the military, but my current employer would not like this at all if they found out.
I read that story about the half track. It is very inspiring. But what he spent...
I may be able to get help removing the front bumper. But somthing big like the bed will be an issue. It is a good idea though. I will see what I can find out.
That is a giant problem. I am already pushing our finacial limits by trying for a 20ft container. I may meet mission failure before I start the real effort.
