    New "floodlight trailer", 6kW generator (pics)

    Hey guys. Just got this baby from the GL lot yesterday morning. It came without any fluids or filters, so it took some legwork to source the required parts. 500 hours on it. She fired up today once I bypassed the stop solenoid. No real issues, and the generator works too. Onan 6kW diesel...

    Just got a civi trailer on GL

    Just had high bid on a civi trailer through GL. Will GL require a registration and license plate on the trailer before I can haul it off base ? A tow with no plates wouldn't be legal, but I'd only move it 3 miles on asphalt, I can take my chances there. Or if I load it on another legal...

    vendor listings ?

    Probably in the wrong forum but I couldn't find anywhere that seemed really suited. Is there a page or thread listing vendors and what they specialize in? New/NOS stock suppliers, or even places parting out junked MVs. Would be appreciated, maybe it's here and I'm not finding it ??
