Looking to see if anyone is heading from Warner Robins, GA area going up to southern Michigan. This would be for a Government Liquidation lot which would need to be picked up within the standard 2 weeks (by 5/27/2016) and either brought or have shipping arranged to southern Michigan...

This one is coming up pretty quick. A lot of the Touch-a-Truck events around here that I have heard of are during the week (maybe so there might be more "municipal employees" available to man the city trucks, etc.) which I have a hard time making. This one is on a Saturday on 5/9/2015 from 9...

Just a follow up on the Grass Lake, MI event - it was a great time. The organizers were very pleased with the MV participation in support of the new Military History Museum in Grass Lake, and I would think that we would be a go for next year as well (just FYI!). Some pictures attached.

Just thought I would put this event out there if anyone is in the area and is looking for a "cruise destination". The Great Lakes MVPA had this on their calendar, and so I made a few calls and this is the deal........ The Village of Grass Lake, MI has their Heritage Day Festival every year one...

Just putting a word out to see if there are any folks interested in attending a really cool Charity Car & Truck Show for/at the St. Louis Center just west of Chelsea, Michigan. The St. Louis Center is a really nice non-profit residential care facility for boys and adult men and women with...

Just thought I would put out a shout to anybody in the Jackson, Michigan area who might have some free time and is interested in taking a little ride. I was in the store checking out what they had on the wall that went bang and found out that they were having a Pre-Season Hunting Sale and...

Well, finally got the Wrecker rear end to my LVS home from Georgia. Leadfoot Transport was very good. Quality Wrecker in Georgia was good but a tad pricey (but still cheaper than driving to Georgia!). My local Wrecker company was very reasonable as the unit did not have any "locked up" hubs...

Am looking for an open transport (flat would probably work, step deck preferred) to haul an Oshkosh MK15A1 (LVS Rear Body Unit) from Albany, GA to Chelsea, MI. Will probably be available for pickup week of 6/15. Give me a shut if you are available or can recommend someone. Thanks, Dave...

As of yesterday (3/5/2014) the Governor of Michigan (Gov. Snyder) signed into law an amendment to the laws governing the displaying of License Plates for Historical Military Vehicles registered in Michigan. As of this laws passage (immediate) only historic military vehicles which were initially...

Well, usually I use my One Ton Pickup, but this year I just couldn't resist the oportunity to use the HET to pull the Float that I built some 4 years ago in this year's Christmas Light Parade in town. I had to fire up the HET to move it over to bring up the Float anyways, so I figured that I...

Well, Brian with B & R Trucking just got done dropping off the new cab for the HEMTT Cargo Truck (Yay). Should make for an awesome swap and then we just have to blast the bed and frame and make her green again. Maybe that can be a winter project (Hmmmmm). If anyone needs something trucked, you...

Picked up the HET the other day and took it to the Emergency Vehicle Show and Parade in Ferndale, MI. It is held every year in conjunction with the Woodward Dream Cruise also held every year (huge cruise event w/ over 1,000,000 attendance - worth making it to see if you can sometime). First...

Well, the needs were outweighing the rain after work today. Needed the trailer to move some parking lot light poles tomorrow afternoon and I have a Diesel Mechanic coming over tomorrow morning to help me (or me help him!) replace the fuel tank on the M985 HEMTT Cargo. So, my spare Detroit's...

Well, finally got around to tinkering on the PLS to get it ready for the 4th parade(s). Last summer ran into an issue at the end of the TACOM MV Show in Warren, MI. The "purge valve" on one of the three air dryer units did not want to stay closed. Well, after some borrowed tools (for which I was...

Just talked to Jeff Davis in Mississippi ((601)264-3453) looking for something else. Just thought I would put it out there for everyone in the market (sadly, not me): It is the last chance today for a motor and trans for the 5-tons before they are drained and shipped to the scapper tomorrow. He...

Finally got the MK15 Fifth Wheel RBU Variant (for the MK48 Family) home from auction the other day. I tried to get the nicest condition unit available. Looks to have been rebuilt in 2008, so not too bad. The 60K drag winch should be a great addition. Looks like I just need to straighten out the...

Trying to get a Non-Turbo Deuce put together for a drive and needed to locate the source of an exhaust leak. Found that the upper flange on the "downtube" from the exhaust manifold to the muffler has cracked off. Anybody have any spare tubes or suggestions? This sucks, but I need to have the...

While the wife and I were traveling for the Christmas parties this year, I couldn't help but stop at the Armory in Ishpeming, MI (Upper Peninsula) and snap some pistures of a 10 ton LHS and trailer all set up with a couple of SUV's on their backs. Just kidding guys! It was pretty cool. At first...

Not sure if this should be under Transportation Needs or another Forum heading, so.......... I just wanted to put in a good word for a great guy and shipper/trucker. Brian Stillwell of B & R Trucking (Flint, MI) (810-577-8670) has hauled 4 separate loads for me to date. Two full loads (HEMTT...

Thought I would post a couple of pictures from last weekend. Derrick came over and we loaded up an ISO Truck Bed for one of his projects. Have to tell ya - Derrick has one sweet Tractor and Flat Trailer - exciting to see in such great condition! Good for you, Derrick! By the way, the remote for...
