RE: Re: RE: demil That T72 was going for $35K US. It probably would be a bit higher now with the unfavorable exchange rate (from the US perspective). I am sure shipping would not have been cheap to get it to the US. I would also have had to have had the gun demilled to ATF standards. I even...

I believe it is legal to own a tank with an operational main gun in the UK. I was talking to a guy a while back that had a fully operational T72 that had come through an overhaul and had 250km on it. The main weapon was LIVE! He told me it was legal in the UK. I don't know the laws over...

My thought is that I'd rather not have to be in a position to be fighting for the last M543A2 or M123A1C that is coming out. By the way, the 10 ton stayed cheaper than I thought, but it went higher than I've seen for the last two that came out a couple of years ago. This is what I'm trying to...

One answer...weekend warriors. If you thought rental cars were driven hard, what do you think an 18 year old kid does when he gets in one a weekend per month.

Mike, I would not plan on it. If you or anyone else wants a deuce, now is the time...or buy retail. I, for one, will DEFINITELY be looking for a really clean deuce this year. Take that for what it is worth. If you want to try to bid on the 1's and 2's that may happen to trickle out in the...

By the way, great score on that trailer. Now you need to get the end rack from Ethan (BUILDER77) to complete the trailer. Sometimes they go high...sometimes they stay low. I've bought trailers for $70, $80 and $90...beautiful trailers. I was watching yesterday and most in PA were over $200.

Don: Maybe I'll see you at Meade as I have two M105s waiting for me there, too. I love the trailers, but even I wonder why I have so many. If I think that, you can imagine what the wife tells me!

CUCVFAN: That is the type of thing I'd prefer to see someone else do with THEIR own truck while my truck looks on from the comfort of a garage!

RE: Re: RE: What does CTIS offer that you can I have spoken to a guy in the NC AR NG who got several fresh M923A2s/M925A2s straight from a complete overhaul and he said he could not get one of the trucks' CTIS to work. He said they plug them off so the inspecting officers THINK the CTIS is...

...and they'll all be gone (out of the system) by early next year or so I was told by someone that knows more than most of us about this issue. I cannot reveal my sources unfortunately...

RE: What does CTIS offer that you can With all this said, the CTIS has to work to be relevant. While I love the M939A2 series of trucks, the CTIS is junk. I've owned four M939A2 series trucks and NONE of them had working CTIS!!! I have a friend who has had multiple M35A3s and none of them...

I actually don't think the M123s/M125s had lockers...at least my old M125 did not.

James, get ready for some competion...from me, other SS members that I know, several dealers and a host of companies with commercial applications. I HOPE to get one...but they will probably for for close to $20K. I won't be bringing one home for that price, I can assure you that.

Hey Don, don't worry, I'm not headed up that way today so there will no one to (accidentally) scowl at you! Have a safe trip!

The HEMTTs also have lockers.

Basically, there is no GL or other person to assist with the load-out. Either you or your designee have to handle all aspects of the load-out.

Congratulations, Dave! Check with Idaho Motorpool. They will most certainly have a winch kit. I shudder to think what they would want for one, though. The most I ever paid for a winch kit was $1,100. Personally, I don't think you should pay more than $1,250.

Bjorn, I saw a test video comparing several of the vehicles we own in various off-road settings. I was thoroughly impressed with the M656/M757 trucks. They did almost as well as tracked vehicles in mud, even out-performing them in certain situations (the 60 degree slope and the tank trap come...

AREA: I suggest you stick with the stock tire size. Larger tires may look more cool and may give you a higher top road speed, but you will lose significant torque. This loss of power will be a severe detriment when trying to tow other trucks. Personally, I'd suggest keeping the 1100s on it...

Ernie, welcome aboard. I met you and your Dad through Joe Young at one of the South Jersey Mil Veh club's treks through the Pine Barrens. How is your dad doing? He's got the carry-all, right? Any how, welcome to SteelSoldiers.
