    M929A2 coming home

    Yeah, the opening bids are just too high now that they raised so many.

    M929A2 coming home

    Very nice truck! I got lucky on the deal I got mine for from GP. I was shocked I won with the fairly low bid I placed. Rough looking ones went for thousands higher the following week, and pretty much since then. Your green unit looks mean!

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    That is funny. I use a trailer a lot and them convex mirrors stink for detailed visibility when backing up with my half a century old eyes. I used to bad talk GM so much for putting one on my last 86 civy unit. However, on the highway (or autobahn in your case), it is better. I just avoid...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    In doing my brakes the other day, I was shocked they also went light duty on the front brake's dust/stone shield behind the rotors. Any 3/4 ton I had of square body civy units had the heavy steel ones. Then I get a 1 1/4 ton built for our military and they are tin.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Had the infamous metal to metal brake grind on my way to mow a couple places the other day. Funny thing is that I just told someone that I need to check the brakes on it and my VW soon before cold weather strikes. Missed it by that much (Adam Smart 1" finger gap)! Got the rotor turned for $15...

    M1082

    Ok. Was at location where my older M1082 trailer is and remembered to take pics, even though it was dark. This is the setup made for the ladder that has no way to use for ramps. The last picture of the bottom of the ladder shows it doesn't touch the ground making it nice to move around the yard...

    Sorry to hear that. Heck, we all have had our moments. Lets just hope it is the lesser of the many evils!

    Issues with SF-97

    Not saying I was one of them. Especially in the example you used! Heck, I gotta be patient enough in the humvee realm to save up the cash to buy one before I even get to start dealing with the GP/government drama!

    Some folks are blessed with extreme patience.

    Issues with SF-97

    Wasn't there someone earlier in this thread saying how they do indeed export the humvees. I know that, to me, exporting them defeats the purpose of the EUC and it upsets me that we have to go through the EUC drama for nothing if they do allow some buyers to export them.

    LMTV CTIS does not deflate

    If the ctis is the same as the m939 series, you can hit run flat button and it will air up your low tires. As for the deflation, well I am not in the know.

    Changed oil and filter. Nasty black oil, but no metal shavings.

    Issues with SF-97

    All the bayonets too. Also, gotta remember they are government jobs which overly spoil their (our) employees. That means one whole heck of a lot of freebie days off.

    Any info on this company

    I can feel your dedication and I also understand that the original poster is from MA and, heck, I would like some confirmation before driving 1000 miles to see it in person too.

    Trouble Getting Title On Items Without Manufacturer Or Date Manufactured On Dataplate

    To follow up and not leave the thread dangling, I went through GP and just paid for a title. I had to use a special form to fill out and send to them with any identifying info I could find on the trailer designating it's year and make. I put the rework company as the manufacturer and used the...

    M1082

    As for the ramps, I think fabbing them up would be different depending on which version of the M1082 you have. There are two different types of boarding ladders on these trailers. My older one has little slots that are external for slipping the boarding ladder into, which is very convenient for...

    Even the start bid on M1101/02 trailers are up. Before long only the wealthy will be able to afford all but an M105.
