Probably both of them since the price was around $ 10K an hour before closing and they continued raising the price. The dangerous trap is that a lot of inexperienced people still believe that since it is a GL surplus, even with an auction everything must be cheap no matter what you pay. That...

maybe make the two last sentences into one with .... in between. Would make it a bit less high at least

It is probably the rationale behind it, but keeping a 30-year old standard truck out of enemy hands by blocking its sale in the USA seems a bit over-done. They would need to export hundreds of them to make an impact, which would get the attention from the authorities real quick. Besides, its...

Don't forget "demil" hearts of MV enthusiasts destroyed by this senseless waste

Well, for whatever reason, two people must have wanted that specific truck very much to keep outbidding each other.. Yesterday's GL results before 1972 Jeep Corporation M817, not started, unknown, $ 2,950, French Camp, CA 1972 AM General M817 non-running for $ 11,700 :shock: :confused...

Already imagined that this is not GLs doing. Then again, who knows. The USofA also makes more money on a separate non-scrap sales, but those putting the demil status on don't care about that clearly (it's not going into their pocket). So any idea what reason they give for it? Now would be a good...

Title says it all. The prices for different lots (also 817s) were a lot less. Now I just learned on internet that M817s are for sale for even much higher prices. But those are checked and repaired-restored trucks in good condition, not unknowns from GL. According the Gl description: Batteries...

Probably there is a thread about this already. Whatever, can somebody explain this naive European why the US govenrnement consider well over 100 surplus trucks as scrap and demands they be destroyed before removing? Is this a hidden form of demill actions to prevent the trucks from falling into...

OK small problem here. Is it possible to remove the dump bed from an M51A2 without a functional hydraulic pump? Background: we had the dump bed including subframe and hydraylics removed for working on the truck, then put it back for transport. The idea was that once on its final location, we...

Daon't know but it might be developed for the Parish Dakar rallies in which Tatra run also. Started typing before the end of the video, and then saw that it indeed is from Paris-Dakar. I recognized those boards from once driving in the Sahara. We had longer ones that were strapped to the roof...

Can you get an old peugeot-citroen XUD 1.9 TD engine in the USA? Here in Europe, they are-were considered the best diesel engines for person cars from about 25 years ago to around 2000. A bit less strong than the VW Transporter engine (they range from 60 to 110 HP), but it gets a lot of jobs...

I know you have a lot of work trying to tweak the new setup and answer all problems, so you don't need extra work. Maybe this could help reduce the questions and help people adjust as well. What about a separate one-post sticky thread with "how to work with the new site". On that page, just...

So let's all become premium members. It's nice that you get to change your own rank as extra, but some very good things are done with the money. Even if you/we don't like all of the new changes, it still is necessary to stay updated and on top of these things. It can mean that some features go...

Nice balance of equipment to take care of all your needs. [thumbzup]

Funny. When I clicked the "read my latest post"link, it gave me a 404 error. Probably just a link disconnected. I agree totally with the statement itself although I would have loved to discuss politics with some members here. That said, the whole header stuff does take take a lot of space up...

It is, or used to be quite common that without doing coding tricks, one simple website never looks the same on all web browsers. That's why in the coding side, there often are tricks and tweaks to make a site look the same whatever the browser, browser version, screen size, or screen resolution...

First, h*ll of a job, compliments, don't envy you [thumbzup]. Off course a lot of people (me too) will always like the old version better for some time (and like this version better after your next upgrade). We're just tooooo old to easily accept change. - The "activity stream" and the...

Still going strong

For once the time difference is to my advantage. I can just browse happily through my Sunday morning and afternoon :jumpin: :jumpin:. In the evening I don't have time, and tomorrow morning all will be over :jumpin::jumpin:. On a lighter note, I just fractured two ribs, so I have a lot of...

Do you run everything on 12 or 24 volt or do you also have a 110 V converter installed? I know my brother had one (220 in our case). When stand-alone, he could run also a Desktop PC's and other 220 volt stuff of his power circuit. When he was along land, he connected to the regular net run the...
