    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I've not had to sand Behr before but I'd imagine it would as it's a latex base. That being said, there is some flexibility to the paint as it's meant for housing panels that will expand and move with temp, wind, etc so it should hold up to HMMWV hoods. I painted my previous M1123 with 383 green...

    Neat or other things you found when you purchased your truck

    Most trucks I get are empty with the exception of an expired fire extinguisher or misc radio cables. A few times I've been lucky to find a 50 cal blank adapter or crusty torque multiplier but those are few and far between. The one unique time was a Kuwaiti Mountain dew bottle and a petrified...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Got these two girls in yesterday. Both "non-runners" and by that I mean city employees don't understand or care so they sell them as such. The dump needs a few Q2 valves and the M923 needs an air dryer, air tank, and driver door. They're a little crusty but engines are solid. Anyone parting a...

    ACS Tram 624kr wheel loader forks operation

    I have a fair amount of hours on these units but it's been a year or so since I've even thought about one. Try holding one of the top toggle switches (it always looked like a book to me) and move the lever back and forth simultaneously. Do you know any history on this machine? These 624Ks were...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I've painted probably two dozen trucks and countless M1101/M1102 trailers with Behr Marquee Exterior Flat. My oldest truck is going on 5 years now and looks new still. Touchups are fine and seem to blend well unlike rattle can touch ups. I plan to paint a deuce this week if I get the time and...

    Tooele Army Depot Warranty Sticker

    I'd like a few too. I'm looking for the red/blue depot stickers they put on the engine rebuilds that say "Army Tooele Depot" as well.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    That's them. It was a cluster-f because the OEM didn't issue titles or certificate of manufacturer yet agreed to furnish them to the auction company. 5 months later I got it situated but it shouldn't have been a thing. Anyway, no more in the pipeline surplus wise to the public. Uncle Sam didn't...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    No, I wish I did. It was direct from the OEM. Never issued to Uncle Sam too.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Put 395s on this A3 for her new owner. It really changes the look of the truck.

    A Hens Tooth Up For Auction

    I'm guessing mid 20's on this one. The previous damaged tan one went far cheaper than expected but who knows...

    not good I take it....

    I've noticed that all the A1 trucks' rubber have been significantly worse than the A0 (not that it's giving much credit to them).

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Well this friend (and I do mean friend) sweet talked me out of my new trailer. I got to keep the connex at least. I wish him well as it will be his home for the next 5 years. It will be SUCH a badass rig when he's done.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    A customer now friend came in this week to build his dream truck. We started out with an M1078A1 w/w and changed it to a M1079A1 w/w. What a nice rare bird she is now. I upped the HP, set cruise control, and other things under the hood to wake her up too.
