I missed out on another good deal. What confuses me is the bid history. How does one guy raise the bids himself from $30,000 to $50,000? http://offer.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=250270828737

I am getting some more wheels & tires in. I ended up buying a large lot to get the ones I want. I have HEMTT 2 piece wheels (NEW), FMTV 2 piece wheels (NEW), and HEMTT 3 piece wheels. Tires available are Michelin XZL 16R20, Michelin XML 395/85R20, Michelin XL 15.5/80R20 (NEW), Goodyear MVT...

Last week, the John Deere wheeled loader was stolen during the night and was used in an attempt to recover another backhoe that was stuck in a creek crossing. The thief got the loader stuck as well and then abandoned both pieces of equipment in light of rising flood waters. Before the...

Today while dowloading a paid-in-full invoice from GL, I clicked on the link to download an excel file of my past GL purchases. WOW, what a surprise. I really spent that much? What about you? EDIT- What started as a humorous thread may actually provide some good insight. This poll is far...

Does anyone have a lead on a 5 ton transfer case near Oklahoma?

Does anyone have a source for PLS flatracks? I need 6-10 more.

I am interested in getting some 33" tires for my stock M1009. I have been through several old threads and it sounds like 10.5 tires on stock rims will clear and 12.5 tires on stock rims might require some fender trimming. If you have/had 33" tires on a M1009 (stock rims), could you answer...

I need an antenna mast for my AS-3900A mount, functional or not. Does anyone here have 1 for sale or can you recommend a vendor to get them from?

I have been wanting to swap a turbo 400 and allison tranny into my 5 ton bridge truck to gain some more horsepower. I just don't have the time or resources to do it right now so I need to sell or trade my donor truck off. It is a 70s model made by White, and I think the mileage on it is only...

I wanted to add a receiver hitch to the deuce. With a careful search of the past threads here, I settled on ordering a Curt 14082 hitch from J.C.Whitley. I think it was about $150 delivered (in 2 days). The hitch was very easy to install with no modifications needed. The hitch was designed...

I saw these pics at www.offroadchat.com Anybody know the story on these?

I am putting together a Palletized Loading System using prototypes built by Kenworth and would like any input or history you can give me on the truck or trailer. As a stroke of luck, ARMYMAN30yearsplus had been saving one of the original manuals for these from original testing in the late...

I know 17.5R25 is an oddball size, but does anyone have a source for them? I have seen new ones listed for over $1000, so I was hoping to find some used ones or surplus. Your are welcome to send me a PM with any details. Thanks in advance.

If you were able to make the inspection period yesterday and/or plan to pickup one, please shoot me a PM. Thanks.

I ran across this website showing some great MV pics. Check out the nice collection! http://www.fsmm.org/trucks.htm

In the foreground is a group of new trailers for the HMMWV. In the background are the old M101s and M105s turned in for disposal. I don't know the model or specs on the new trailers, but I would sure like to have one!

It takes a lot effort to go for a Sunday drive these days. One M1009 pilot car, two oversize load signs, four red flags, and a ton of prayers.

I saw a pair of M870A3 trailers today and couldn't help but fall in love. Local guy said they were getting 10 of them in, but they didn't have a single tractor with a wet line kit to operate them. Go figure... http://www.heiltrailer.com/photogallery/M870A3.pdf

Standard operating procedure is to use the same size truck (or larger) to tow a disabled vehicle with towbar. Many add additional weight in the cargo bed of the towing truck to keep the tail from wagging the dog. So what about tractors? Are they the least preferred model for towing? Is the...

What kind of signage/flags does the Army use when moving wide loads in CONUS? Is it the same as commercial? Anyone got any pics?
