Here’s the deal, I just won a GL auction for my first MV; a M813 from Wright Patterson. Problem is I am still stationed in Alaska and I need to get the truck to a family member in MI. I'll be keeping it there for awhile. My initial plan was to do the recovery in December when I’m home on leave...

Welcome to the site. I'm sure you have a different perspective and unusual (to us) experiences to share. I look forward to it!

1970 AMG M813 VIN: C12510759 REG: Unknown at this time NSN: 2320000508890 Purchased from GL Wright Patterson, OH Bump numbers illegible

I live in a no-code area in AK. Basically you can build whatever you want. I could stack two trailers on top of each other and live in it, or just open my front door and chuck all my houshold trash out on the front lawn, or build a plywood and pallet shanty covered in plastic and live in it...

I bought one not long ago. In AK trailers have to be registered, but I took the chance. With a bill of sale dated the same day, chances are you'll be fine. Personally I wouldn't tow it after the initial recovery unless it's tagged, but that's just me. I changed bulbs on site at the GL lot, I...

I spent a few months in Uzbekistan and saw local gents using old ex-Russian MVs in similar grossly overloaded conditions. All hard ground/pavement so I didnt get to witness the off-roading but it was cool nonetheless. The maintenance is right... constant maintenance but I'll bet those guys are...

The two long marks down the center look like they were left by generator skids. I don't recognize any of the brackets. My guess is it was modified by a unit to be a non standard commo or special equipment trailer. Engineer like crazy guy said, or perhaps ordnance (vehicle maintenance).

It's pretty bad when the contractor is worse than the bureaucracy that contracted them. I only recently discovered how painful the process was, but I suppose it's the price we pay for somewhat below retail prices on gov't equipment you're not going to get anywhere else. Government Liquidation...

Is that a privately owned M1117 in the 3rd and 6th pics, or is that an Army provided vehicle?

Diesel UTVs are common, but I personally have not seen a diesel ATV. The diesel UTVs I've seen are much larder than what you have pictured, I'm not sure there's a diesel ATV/UTV out there that's as small /light as the (350 or so?) ATV you already have.

Not a MV, but here's my tracked vehicle. The tracks are made by TJD of Canada. They work great in the snow and mud, traction and flotation beat the **** out of tires. They have the added bonus of lowering the center of gravity, and widening the stance so I probably couldn't roll it if I tried...

Yesterday after talking to 3 different people at the Fairbanks, AK DMV they finally figured out how to proceed with my SF97 and POA from GL. The fun didnt end there, when the clerk finally started the application and registration she couldnt find the manufacturer in their database. My M101A2 is...

I don't know where the manuals are on the site but if you google TM 9-2330-202-14&P you'll find it. If you can't get it shoot me a PM.

I've never been inside one, but that thing looks pretty roomy, especially the drivers station. Might make a decent family APC. Take the kids to soccer games, grandmas house and such. What did it go for, and where was it sold at if you don't mind me asking?

When do they need to be picked up? I'll be headed down to Anc sometime in late September, or early October. Shoot me a PM if that might work for you.

I saw that one this morning on my way to work. I wanted to stop and get a picture, but i didnt have time. I'm curious as to why it's been parked next to the ford dealer on that cul-de-sac. Problems perhaps? Usually when the RV'ers park for a stay the area and vehicles just look inhabited. This...

I'm picking up my 101 tomorrow to tow behing my 2010 Power Wagon! Prior to this one I don't even have yet, I've only used them towed behind HMMWVs, but my experience with M101's is that you can load them up, and you'll dam near max out the volume before you max the weight. I'll trade you my...

I'm curious as to how rare Husky parts are. I saw one for sale in Tok, AK and I thought a Husky might be a fun somewhat lighter/smaller tracked vehicle to own and restore, but I'd be worried about finding parts. There is one on display here w/w, but unfortunately it's still gov owned. :-( Let us...

Are you going to make it look like a MV? I have thought about the same thing. I looked over HMMWVs for sale and found a lot of the same issues. For less money I can probably find a decent H1 and modify it to be close to an MV. The interior is the biggest difference appearance wise, but some nice...

Paint it yellow and white. It is named daisy, right?
