    Won my first GL auction M1008 (FT Lewis)

    OK I just won my first M1008, this is a replacement for my M1009 I had to leave in Columbus/FT Benning due to my PCS to FT Lewis, WA. I won for $1900. Of course you gotta love the guys who jump in at the last hour and run the price up. hmmm I wonder if it was a real person or just GL running...

    Ugh... Transmission...

    Dude... sorry to hear that, look up SS member "Papabear" he owns a wrecker company in Columbus and has a private MV motorpool. I can't say he has exactly what you need but more than likely he knows somebody who does. -Chief

    Advice on HMMWV tires on these things with stockish wheels

    I had a 6" lift kit and HMMWV tires so there was no need to cut anything, also the solution I had was the the use of 16.5" Rockcrawler rims. Oh I am using past tense as I had to sell my M1009 as I am moving across country and my wife did not want to pull the 16' trailer nor did she want to drive...

    I am fairly sure the stock black ones have locks, mine does and the ones I remember when I was a private back in Desert Storm also had locks. Dale

    Accident

    Thanks, I will let the guys at the shop know. I put both my vehicles in the collision center today since the adjuster came out this morning. This means I will be riding my Harley Davidson Night Rod into work until one of them gets fixed. Man I hope it does not rain hard........" fingers crossed...

    shot in the dark but here goes...GA>WA

    Dan, I agree it is for this reason I will take a Southern route headed West until I reach Cali then I will head North from there. Hopefully I will avoid any major issues this way. Unfortunately I had a choice......a. PCS now if I wanted to go to 1st SF GRP or b. risk stop loss at my current...

    shot in the dark but here goes...GA>WA

    I know this is a long shot, I have a shipping quote of $1200 already but I figured it was worth a posting. I had planned on driving my CUCV from FT Benning, GA to FT Lewis, WA at the end of this month but due to a accident (see http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?t=29528) I may be...

    Oh the frame on the CUCV may have shifted, its difficult to open the Driver's side door as it rubs against the quarter panel.

    Accident

    updated photos CUCV vs CAR Here are some daylight photos of the damage: My damage seems to be minor mostly just the leaf spring, tie rod and some type of arm/joint. The car might as well be scrap!

    Accident

    I don't believe he has that luxury, and the family only live next door to me. The "kid" moved out to live with his younger brother as he was not getting along with the step-Dad so I don't see a bail out in his future. Perhaps he will consider the military, he needs it. It was hard to shift...
