One of the "good" vendors who isn't a community wallet rapist... :)

Das iz uber ! Uberman ! ;p

We're technically driving camo garbage trucks here so... :)

Ripsaws were a contract prototype that never made it. They were going to do civilian production but I don't think it ever came to fruition. So yeah, it would have had (and needs) some gat!!!

May as well have one with a garage for this: https://www.hemmings.com/auction/2020-other-other

I've seen folks add electronic brakes to LMTVs. Never really looked into the specifics, but it's been done.

I thought I had that "bumper fifth wheel" bookmarked but I don't see it. I'd love to do a full custom fifth wheel bed, but as pointed out you'd be pretty damned tall. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/jobsite-assault-vehicle.168400/page-3#post-2135198

Someone sent me a link to one on FB marketplace a few weeks back for $42K as well. It was tan and in really clean shape with title. I absolutely guarantee that one is getting flipped... Edit: Disregard. It dawned on me later that that one was a HET. Still, crazy low...

I'm sure the tan one in HOU will be be for sale on <insert_point_of_compass_flipper_here> very soon for $472K. ;p

There's a tan M1087 (I think an A1 or A1R) in HOU for like $75K if I heard right. Alex at ACELA is helping to move it.

Under the cab will be SOP. And the interior doors, roof, back and sides will be pretty simple. But I'm too spoiled hosing sand out of the entire cab with the garden hose and bare floors are simple to hose out. I suppose removable floormat sections under the feet would...

I just tell folks a quarter mil. Nice round number. When they ask what I paid for it, I tell them the National Guard unit down the road never locks their gate.

Three days, two nights, case of Dos Equis, a 12 pack of Coors light, case of Gatorade, 20 gal fresh water, four hamburgers, dozen eggs, assorted fixin's. Several buddies stopped by to hang out over the course of the adventure (I live 12 minutes from here). Up a cooler full of finger...

They sell the plastic ones as well it seems: https://henrysautowarehouse.com/?s=door++rod

Yep, same concept/design. Chevy used them in doors back in the '50s. I'm sure they even pre-date that.

On the three trucks that I've owned, the very first thing I did was delete two batteries and roll with duals. Again, I'm in S. Texas so it's not like I will ever have to sit in -40 degrees cranking on it endlessly trying to start (and if that ever became the case I'm smart enough to...
