. Don't know the real details but I saw in another forum something about single digit percentage of the $256k of the new price. Can't imagine that GP was willing for forgo their percentage. All just rumor though.

. Maybe there is a HMMWV SHORTAGE now that the tan ones are not ours any more... You know it is a supply and demand thing. There are now 22,714 fewer than there were 16 days ago.

. That's a shame. I remember when a new truck (40's 50's vintage) arrived at the shop, we would rip out the military lights and switches and wiring. Everything was rewired with new switches and a new Signal Stat turn signal switch. Those parts would get dropped into a 55 gallon drum. Hate to...

. I can't imagine how cool it must have been to see all four of them pull in at the same time. WOW! That would be a nice machine to have. Why? Because! I need one about like having another hole in my head, but if the opportunity came along... --- Yeah, it does grind your gears when you see...

. Glad you got her home... I LIKE that truck!! It would look really nice with a nice 4 or 5 axle trailer and a locomotive sitting on it.

. Nice looking ride!! Good paint work too.

. @HDN , I have to agree with ToddJK 's thoughts. I have been reading along too and learning as you have done the work. I haven't been nearly as tired as you hustling tires and doing the manual labor, but one day soon I will need that learning. You have done a heck of a write-up and I...

. Saw a 48 quart plastic tote under a truck recently. Seems to work well and can be had "on the cheap" too. Another choice would be to cut off a 55 gallon drum at the first "ring" and it will be deep enough. Requires a lot more effort, but the drum will last longer than you. A plastic tote...

. Well, a jeep generally doesn't need the 300# medium tow bar. A smaller lighter tow bar that you could permanently attach to the jeep - that folds up might be nice. If the bar was a reasonable weight, you might be able to disconnect at both ends and store it in the truck. Either way could...

. It seems like our "guberment" hasn't improved at all in the last ten years. You would think by now we wouldn't be discussing that problem at all... I hadn't noticed the 2011 date until now ;-)

. Our local ambulance folks have dual alternator sets on their trucks. Almost like a Left / Right Magneto on a plane... They have two completely independent charging and battery systems on their vehicles. Never gave much thought to how that was configured - especially with one starter motor...

. And in North Carolina for example: They had "the new girl" in training at the DMV last time I went out to title a truck. Everybody else was working, so the newbie was giving me a hard time about the title that I had from another state. It didn't have enough numbers... Finally one of the...

. So far as I am concerned - No Hijacking was involved. Thanks for your comments. Seems to me that as the 300,000 Afghans were running away, quite possibly we should have rolled every piece of equipment "nose to nose" and burned them to the ground before we left - but as you said - I...

. The A1 that I have does NOT have a cute little box on the side of the battery box to disconnect the batteries. Less useful information is that there is no picture with a disconnect inside the cover either...

. BUT, if we abandon something in a foreign country - just walk away from it - then it is fine for that occupying force to have it? AND maybe share it with or loan it to their chinese and russian buddies?

. Taliban Special Corps -- Maybe they have infiltrated our guberment! TSC really means Trade Security Controls - Making sure that you aren't buying (for example) a HMMWV and then exporting it to (for example) Afghanistan. :cool:

. One of mine with a 3126 in it sat for a month with no batteries. When I finally installed them, truck fired right up and was good. It is an A1 vehicle...

. Now that you have it covered - keep shopping. Tell the other potential insurance agents that you have coverage with (insert name here) and you want a better price. It works. They enjoy competition. Especially if you find one that is a little "hungry" near the end of the month and there are...

. Have to just step up and "go carnivor" . Growing vegetables other than potatoes is a waste of time to me anyhow. I eat my vegetables second hand. Critters eat, then I eat them :cool: Yes sir, the only advantage to living here in the big city would be the abundance of targeting material. Not...

. I don't live in Kentucky, but here a Bill Of Sale will work. Might be worth a stop by at a local DMV office to inquire on a slow day... If you can find the License, Theft, and Weight Enforcement office - those folks can be helpful on a good day. They are the folks who would have to come to...
