    Educate me on GL and other gov surplus sites

    De-volved is the operative word. Market basically collapsed. I went from inbound won lots weekly to nothing. Fun while it lasted.

    Axle replacement boot M932a2 ?

    A1R Alternator/Charging Conversion Solution

    I think it's a good idea. Agree the Niehoff parts are very scarce. Let us know what Cat p/ns you end up using.

    M1025A2 HMMWV solid gold!

    There is another thread on the topic of why these trucks were stripped. Basically a SF budget paid for the GMV upfits of basic HMMWVs and SF decided to keep the goodies rather than loose the investment at turn in time.

    M1025A2 HMMWV solid gold!

    Macaw Fire Extinguisher Bracket for HMMWV

    How do you stop a m809 if the brakes fail?

    Aim for the least expensive thing in front of you.

    GMV roof holes

    Guessing, maybe a hole for the Blue Force Tracker satellite transceiver, which is roughly 10" square.

    armasafe plus battery maintenance

    My understanding is that the liquid is contained in a paste kinda like oil is contained in grease.

    Emergency rescue operations M929a2 prep

    You did not make the right choice. If you want to help in the hurricane affected zone along the coast, you need a flat bottom boat. During Harvey, every rescue we did, our high water military trucks could not get to the houses, but boats could. The trucks ended up being ineffective transfer...

    armasafe plus battery maintenance

    It's an AGM absorbed glass mat battery. All they need is an AGM maintainer connected 24-7-365 and they will last 10+ years.

    Does this sweet M813A1 RV belong to a member?

    Front spindle bolts and king pins screaming for mercy on that one.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    I stand corrected. Did these get MOD stamped on the data plate or something?

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    But those were on 1037 shelter carrier trucks not 998s? Edit: apparently there were 998s as well

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Why do you call your truck "Avenger"? Was it an Avenger platform?

    New owner of 1997 LMTV

    The Army didn't drain the Allison just for s___s and grins. They were about to pull it when someone decided coding it out was funner.
