I think even 86HMMWV has a couple original GI pintles minus the crossbolt for sale for about $40, just use the crossbolt out of the replica if you don't send the replicas back.
I'm a not only is the glass half empty but the water is room temperature, too, type. Now I can see how the rule can protect members in 3 different ways as well as "protect" members' interests 3 different ways. My brain was leaning towards preventing the extra attention that might have an SS...
Its a shame the 1165 series won't be auctioned. To me that is a gross waste of taxpayer funds. If an EUC applicant passes a background check throu TriCheck then you should be able to buy anything short of an M1A2 tank. Not like an 1165 will stop a 50BMG or Dushka (my book says 7.62x54R AP...
Some trucks were sold direct since the last govdeals auction. But I placed an offer and was told I had to wait for the next auction they were no longer allowed to sell them direct.
Well done, Lionel!
CruizinZ28, I'm looking forward to seeing your pics. All these trucks are going to have different bolt holes and rivet nuts set into the cargo floor and wheelhouses, due to the myriad of ammo can racks, brackets and other parts installed by the individual ODAs to suit...
My former club in Colorado fought for years to get the law passed. Now with another stroke of a pen its going away. And to accomplish what? Make the roads and highways safer? Sure, make it easy to legally smoke pot, then motor vehicle accidents increase but, hey, lets further legislate...
DLA will soon be done auctioning off the legacy A0 series HMMWVs, and you already have M1123A2s as well as M1097s being auctioned off that have a GVW of 10,300lbs. Granted GP hasn't been stamping their SF97s "Offroad Use Only" but other Defense property disposal contractors are, ie Go-Dove...
When you let the Government dictate how, where and how long you may use your own legally purchased property, they you don't really own it anymore. We all know these trucks are built tougher than most of the hybrids and other vehicles on the lots today. So what, it didn't come from the factory...
I asked them about the 24v kit, Coldmasterinc recommended the 22,000 BTU kit said the 13,000 BTU kit wouldn't cool the 4 man cab enough.

So I will admit a mistake has been made. For whatever reason my bank account didn't send me a text/email that the deposit was made by wire transfer on May 14th. I have flags set up for withdrawal or deposits over a certain amount automatically send me a text after my last debit card number...
Do you make witness marks across the cover bolts when done? I've seen a few of the Go-Dove GMVs with white witness marks across the housing cover bolts.
Do you have to drain the transmission before you unbolt it from the engine? What about draining the transfer before removing it from the transmission? I need to make room in my garage for hurricane season and the 6.5l GEP-T is taking up the most space. I want to put the 6.5l on an engine...
Cobra-3-8, you are the third I've heard got their refund already. I was first to pay back in November and I still haven't received anything. First to pay, last to get paid back. At least they haven't run another auction yet.
make an orange muzzle cover for it. Just don't ride around town with somebody in the turret aiming the Ma Deuce at folks, people can be sensitive about that sort of thing. Felony Menacing, Disorderly Conduct, Mayhem are some charges that could arise depending on the state.. Just use some...
I think I saw somewhere that the Agency has to hold onto 1033 program vehicles or use it for 2 or 3 years I can't remember then it can be released as surplus with some restrictions pertaining to armored vehicles. Examples, HMMWV are a depreciating asset and if compliant with the DLA demil...
