    FL Is Hagerty schizophrenic?

    I have Hagerty for insurance on my truck and they never asked me if my truck was covered or in a garage...maybe it is a state to state thing?

    vehicle damaged while being loaded

    Really sorry to hear about the damage that happened to your truck!. :( I got mine last year in PA. They went back with a very large fork lift and I watched them drag it out from the back yard. They were driving the fork lift backwards with chains wrapped around the front of the forks and the...

    FMTV Splash Guard/Mud Flaps.

    Yep. That company sold them for $15.00 each and it included shipping. Just wait to see who put them up for sale for the crazy price.

    Shelter/van body mounting options

    Not sure how far you want to travel or transport one but here is one in PA. https://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/item/5911141?h=6-22 Was at the Chambersburg PA yard picking up a couple items this past Thursday and this was in the front area.

    Shelter/van body mounting options

    Yeah they're nice. Wish I had the b@ll$ to drop that kind of money for it, it would have worked well for me. :razz: In reference to the weigh, after you gut the inside, from all the equipment, I'm sure that will take the weight down a good bit. But, then you'll be adding weight when you make it...

    Shelter/van body mounting options

    Hey, not trying to hijack you here. I feel your pain. I've been looking for a good, shelter, van shop, equipment shop for my M1083A1 for 8-9 months now.

    How many have had their driveshafts balanced?

    Not sure if they’re in your area but Fleet Pride did all three of my drive shafts. They did a great job.! The guy who did them said that there were never balanced. He said that they are like tires, if you don’t see a weight on them somewhere, they’re not balanced. He said all drive shafts have...

    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    I believe that you only get a registration card and registration plate with expiration tabs. They sent your title back to you. That is your title.
