    Deuces wild fire sale

    First off, he's doing a favor, albeit, surely temporarily. Scrap prices are down and alot of people on this forum are used to getting running deuces for less than you could scrap the truck out on GL. The economy is down and scrap is getting less and less. It won't always be like that and when...

    Battery group number for M35A2

    While we're on the topic of batteries, I've gotten a set of Hawker Armasafe batteries for my truck. Has anyone had experience with them? They are said to be very good and last roughly 8 years in extreme conditions however since my truck sits in Ft. Rucker, I could not say. The batteries have...

    Advice on picking "Motors in the Can"...

    Preview in person. I had a friend buy a 6.2L from Warner Robins. Pics online looked fantastic, and had plastic caps on every opening. Turns out, it was from and Air Force HMMWV and had many miles and a piston with a hole burned through it. He paid $600 and probably still will come out ahead...

    Who won what on 12 NOV?

    Just seeing if anyone on here won anything today? Seems like alot of stuff went pretty high today including the A3 Winch truck that nearly broke $10,000. Anyone know what the wrecker in Warner Robins went for? Last I saw, it was $3,600 which I felt like was the only iron off the mark. Even...

    MRAP Alpha up close

    We had those trucks at MCLB Albany first!!!! The USMC bought about 120 of them before they pulled the plug on the concept and they all were stored in one of our warehouses before they were sold them to the above not mentioned agency for border patrol work. I thought they drove very well but...

    My dad's new FMTV...

    I'm partial to the deuce mostly because I prefer old reliable go anywhere iron. However, I can't say too much bad about the FMTV. I don't like all the electronics but they are just following the trends in the industry and trying to stay in line with Commercial Off The Shelf technology which...

    Select Vehicles on Hold GL WHAT?

    I won 4737 6362 out of Ozark, AL. 6361 A2 W/W and 6363 A2C WO/W are not on the hold list and have newer style speedometers. Mine has the older style speedo showing 29,900 miles and 1213 hours on the tach. My best guess is the older speedometers are to blame. I hope this all blows over and I...
