You'll need to share pictures, operational condition, and title status to get a better idea of value. I've seen Gama Goats sell for $3500-$15,000 in the last 3 years. It depends on a lot of factors.
Finished up this project that will make someone's dream come true. This winch model M1078 had a bad engine so I gave it another Cat but from an MTV. With 290 horses under the hood (cab?) and 16.00's it will move. When the turbo spools it puts your butt in the seat. It was painted, doors rebuilt...
I've inadvertently gotten into beekeeping this week with one of my 5 tons. The bees have been impressively busy for only such a short time but allegedly this isn't the first time for this truck to attract a swarm. Fortunately, one of my guys had the equipment and experience to relocate them...
No thinning on the Behr. I want it to apply thick(er) to imitate the CARC and help fill in any scrapes it may have gained over the years. I used an airless sprayer with a 5 gallon bucket to keep application consistent and it helps keep me in my groove when painting. I despise having to take...
I've painted a dozen M1078s and Behr Marquee Exterior Flat is the way to go. 5 gallons 383 green if you're doing everything exterior and one more gallon if you want to do inside the frame. 383 Brown I recommend the Rapco rattle cans and you will use 3 or 4 for the truck. Black, use Rustolium...
No, it's a 2004. The truck has a battery disconnect box and lacks the features of an A1R: cab grab handles, larger door handles, etc. The 2004 year models (with some variance of late-late 2003's) received these upgrades that later became standard on the A1Rs 2006 onwards.
You sir have a typo...
.. is how I read your post. You completely missed my point to try to "one up" me needlessly. You, me, and everyone else who has been around FMTVs knows that's not the standard tire rating. G/14 ply with a max rated speed of 55 mph is the standard. The K range are indeed rated for the 110km/68mph...
Steering the conversation back on track here. I'm going to watch the ECO hubs closely to see the real world performance. There are some big claims made and I want to see them from non-affiliated sources not those directly manufacturing, distributing, profiting, etc off them. Solid 3rd party data...
M1088 - Cat 3116
M1088A1 - Cat 3126 or C7 (computerized)
The feeling on the 3116 is up for debate for many reasons, some have serious weight and other just don't like the color yellow. It's commonly referred to as a "throw away" engine as they're rated for only 300,000 miles. They are what they...
