Thanks Coffey1. Hope you understand I'm just trying to help. Thing is, when a SOS goes out on SS, we probably need to have a method of announcing it correctly, so people who are concerned and want to help, can make up their mind what they can do and address it properly. Exact location is a must...

Still no pictures. The reason why you want to put pictures of the damage up is so people can help you. If the bracket is cracked, its more parts, else there is more damage to come later. Still don't know exactly where you are, and I don't need to personally, but someone in the local area would...

Well, here it is, the start of the one week countdown. It would be nice, and fitting, to see a 60 year old, full restoration on the final page of the 2014 calendar. STORM 51's M-37

Well I heard Christopher Columbus discovered America. Bhahahahahahahahaahhhhhaaaa.... We even have a holiday for him. LOL

Smoke equals heat. Heat equals signature. Signature can mean death, in case of an enemy with a heat seeking missile. Not good, and it was the first thing I thought of when that Banks HMMWV was belching horrible smoke when it should not have, according to the designer. Marketing gone wrong?

For all those who, like me, who either don't have the funds, or conviction, or time, or space, to remove every bolt and derust it, who cant pull a cab for lack of equipment to do so, please consider the amount of effort that went into a labor of true love for a now. 60 year old machine like...

Thanks Ke5eua. Maybe I'm getting tight with my money now that I'm out of DOD (LOL), but $50-100K seems like an awful lot for an "upgrade"

Yes, I considered that, but now, they can preview at little or no cost, and transport cost are less, so more people will come in and bid. It should be interesting, but, it still will not fulfill the orders of the Pacific Coast retailers, so prices will remain high there for a while. I can't wait...

...from thread 288 We got our other 8 HMMWVs I predicted up today. Just a lucky guess. One does not have the iron clad guarantee, but, with that one included, looks like 9 additional HMMWVs on the auction block, plus the two original that were up early last week. If you thought prices were...

Better be careful at SWBradleys place. Intel tells us he and GimpyRobb have more bobby traps and flares, video and audio, bamboo pungi traps and agent orange clouds up above that if you make it off his LZ, it will be an Act of God. Be sure to call first! He was broken into once or twice and with...

So what happens if you stick a tennis ball down the throat of that thing. Does it shoot? Or does it blow up? That would be interesting... I like it! And that paint job is fantastic. Love that OD green!

I tried to vote for yours too Sandcobra, but the site wouldn't let me vote twice. I guess I need to get the N. Koreans to help me crack the code on this site so I can get it done.

Lots of really nice MVs out there in this poll. I love them all! But Vote for the M37!

I got tired of paying $20 at the truck tire place just to remove those frozen nuts, so now I just put on a 1 1/2" impact socket, a long handle, a pipe over thst, then get in and drive about six inches, snd rock it until it breaks. Once the frozen nut is broken loose, you can screw away.

Market value for a full frame off restoration today is about $35K. These machines were purchased by people salivating over the auction, who got caught up in the bidding process over a tin can with a motor. Prices will come down on the off road vehicles, probably go up on the legal machines for...

There's something to be said about a frame off restoration. The amount of work and love put into a MV should, in certain instances, get a point or two above a store bought asset with a fresh coat of paint. I love the M-37s and am completely prejudicial, but, you cannot deny there was a lot of...

I think at least two of them slipped through the cracks. Those darn inefficient DOD personell. Now that two slipped through, we will probably see an avalance of 3970 more. It just never stops. END THE MADNESS!!!:-) Blackmagic, there is a reported 4000 quantity FMS sale. I don't know if its...

The Aussies Government can get all the HMMWVs they want through the US Government Foreign Military Sales Program, and at a far better price than any contractor. Logistics and shipping might actually be the biggest cost. Also, I don't subscribe to the theory a singular contractor is taking all...

Then too, we need keep in mind, our MVs are no longer in a war, no longer in training mode by unskilled drivers taking them offroad, taking them through the deepest water, thickest mud, worst sand, in heat, in fridgid artic cold, in the worst possible conditions in the world. Theres probably...

"They've got everything, and they have nothing" That's really deep. My new signature. Thanks Gimp!
