Of people who have bought trucks through GL, how many have received titles with incorrect vin numbers? I have received two so far and they charge $30.00 to correct them... I am not impressed.
Because this question comes up all the time I thought I would start an easily searchable thread with measurements in it.
So the Maximum drive leg room in a Deuce with a spring seat is 38 inches. That is 4 inches less than a 2001 Geo Metro. This was measured with the seat all the way back and...
I got my new truck home today. I won it from GL at fort Jackson and had it trucked to NJ, then went down and drove it up the last 85 miles home. She fired right up with two new batteries, and ran great all the way home, even hit 62 mph a few times according to the GPS.
So overall a good truck...
My Invoice came through today and I need to schedule a load out. Anybody in the area who could get it off base and stash it until I can arrange trucking? I don't know if it will start or run.
So basically I need it towed off of base.
Possibly stashed for a few weeks somewhere.

Anybody interested in organizing a winter rally in Maine, Lodging is cheap in Maine in the winter months and there are lots of log roads and deep snow to play in.
I would love to participate or help organize a rally for February. It would be a great opportunity to practice extraction techniques...
Okay so I am putting out feelers for people interested in a challenging relay from Sacramento CA to Southbury CT.
Here is the deal. you would need at least an m35a2 or A3 or larger because the load is matched to that size truck. I am planning to fly out and accompany the shipment back, acting...
Okay so I bought a m1009 off of gsa and have to pick it up tomorrow. I rented a uhaul trailer but am worried that it will not fit on it when I get up there. How wide are these trucks outside to outside of tire? I have read that they are 79 inches but I went and measured the uhaul and it is 75...
I just passed this 5 ton converted to a pole truck on my way home from taking my son to school. Sorry I was only able to get one quick picture with my cell phone. I could not identify the truck, it looked and sounded like it had been heavily modified. Definitely not a multi-fuel in it anymore...
I listed my truck on Epay... started her at 99 cents with no reserve. I scoff at those who put up an item for sale with a reserve. Grow a pair and and man up...:mrgreen:
Okay in all reality I hope to god I get all my money back out of it, Dreaming a little I would like about 4 K for her and...
I gave the deuce a hard workout today. first I went and rented an excavator and she couldn't even tell it was back there. Then went and got two loads of reclaimed concrete; I told the loader operator to get as close to 10000 lbs as he could and I crossed the scale at 28540lbs so he was only over...
Anybody here throw a sealed bid at the SEE that just closed on GL? I wanted to throw about 14K at it, but the boss said no. Probably wouldn't have been enough to win her anyway.
NOT!
So I have to make a trip to Alabama on Monday and thought seeing as I would be in the area I would stop in at Redstone and preview a few things for myself and some other people.
So the call goes like this:
Them: Let me look at our calendar........ We can do the 16th
Me: No that will not...
So I have to ask what made the Hard Tops that sold on GL yesterday worth so much? I had them on my watch list and last time I looked they were over 1000.00 each; all 19 of them.
I keep being told that we are in a recession, but by looking at the prices that Items are bringing on GL you would...
I am considering plotting out a route and putting together a convoy to drive a hybrid version of the Bluegrass Driving Tour and the Bourbon trail. (trail not to be confused with off road, this will be all two lane paved roads) I was looking at doing one or the other, but the routes are so long...
It is warm here today so I popped the front windows open and took my son to the park in the deuce. He love the "big truck' so I take every opportunity to take him for a ride in it. One of Our parks has an m60a3 tank and I thought it would be neat to have a picture of the truck with the tank. It...
I was bidding on a few trailers, but noticed that the site which used to help load now says buyer loads. So I called on it and they will no longer load items into the back of a truck or onto a flatbed for the customer anymore.. They have done a little rearranging of some personnel and the new...
I got a good source for used hydraulic fluid, motor oil, and ATF, but when they drain their fluids they mix them together including the antifreeze.
Now they offered to take back the antifreeze if I can separate it out and they will dispose of it with the rest of their oil.
How do you separate...
