    Will a box, fit a dual axle trailer and can the LMTV tow it properly?

    Copy that. I just wanted to confirm we were talking about the same thing, and I also wanted to clarify in case others with good insight might have missed what you wanted.

    Will a box, fit a dual axle trailer and can the LMTV tow it properly?

    By "box," do you mean an S280 shelter? Regarding your question about moving heavy military hardware, these trucks were designed to be run in convoys at low speeds on highways or off-road at even lower speeds. Neither of these require the ability to pull hills and maintain top speed. If you...

    Winter Diesel Fuel Issues?

    Yes, as Wes said, MD uses a winter blend of diesel fuel during the colder months. With that said, the problems often come in when fuel you purchased during the summer or spring have sat in the tank all year because of lack of use. In those cases, you could have gelling issues. I had this...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    Can the Gov't confiscate a vehicle after the sale? Putting that fear mongering to bed

    Uh, no. This is a guy that I know personally...as in, a personal friend who I can call right now if I wanted to. He is a guy I respect very much and I trust what he told me. He is actually on this list, but I don't think he wants to go public with his situation given that he sold the trucks...

    Can the Gov't confiscate a vehicle after the sale? Putting that fear mongering to bed

    Yes, a guy I know in the hobby had a few M939 series trucks that were requested back. I never heard how that worked out. I believe he had sold them, and that may have been the end of it. This was more than a decade ago. I do recall seeing a bucket truck sitting at Meade that had been sold...

    Some Rapco spray paint pointers

    I have had good luck with Rapco spray paint. I've painted an entire M105A2 with the paint. I did not have any of these problems, other than the spray tip clogging on occasion. The paint held up well. I had that trailer for probably seven years or more and the paint looked good. I use it for...

    Lakewood WA m1078A1 retrieval

    I would suggest you get it hauled home so you can learn about it as you go over it in the safety of your driveway. And, check out the manuals, which are available on this site. Good luck!

    CARC In Aerosol Cans

    Gary, I did not know that Sherwin-Williams offered CARC in spray cans. Where on the page that you attached does it mention spray cans? Maybe I missed it. There is a company in NJ that sells CARC in spray cans, but it is pricey and I don't think they will sell to civilians.

    5 ton questions help a newbie out

    Make sure that the previous seller did not require him to sign the title. If it was signed over to him, he'll need to convert the title to his name to sell it to you with a title...unless he is a dealer and has a dealer reassignment form, which does not sound like the case.
