They have not reappeared at Jacksonville although I have inside info that there are several ship loads of vehicles and equipment that will be sold out of Blount Island as soon as it is processed through DRMO and all the usual agencies have a crack at it before it goes on the block. My guess is...

My original intent was to cut the ends off and sell them as culvert...then my buddy told me he would buy them whole to store fuel in (he runs a huge farm and buys fuel in bulk). I was going to use one of them for a "root cellar".

I was going to post this to the Military RR Equipment Thread but THERE IS NOT ONE.....so I'll post it here. Today five military tank cars sold at Kings Bay Submarine base in GA. I had designs on said cars and even made a recon trip over there to see them in person. (Note to self....getting...

Then why are they still selling them at other locations? I got an email from one of the folks me and Ron assisted about picking up MK48's at another location. My olefactory senses detect a rodent.

This is addressed to all those MK48 owners that Ron and I assisted in recovering their vehicles. I'm going to put my Public Affairs Supervisor hat back on and put the following information out. Take my advice or not but as before I'm here to help if needed. Yes, when you purchased the...

I was looking to bid on some items that would have generated 100,000 pounds of scrap.....the scrapper I was going to sell it to called me today and offered $10.50 per hundred pounds. That caused me not to bid on said items. He told me that scrap prices were going to the basement until after the...

You people are going to keep screwing around until I have to buy one of these beasts.:cookoo:

I have been thinking that the bridge trailer might be an easy coversion to a dump trailer....I am intrigued by these beasts but I'm still not sure if I want one in my Motor Pool. Rumor has it that there will be more of these coming out soon at this location.

I stand corrected on the washer issue.....DUH!!!!!

The washer goes between the head of the bolt and the plate......all of the assembled trucks had them.....otherwise I would not have paid 80 bucks for the ones I bought.

It takes three short bolts with washers on each side...these thread into the back plate and pull the two halves together and lock them in place. There are 5 long bolts with washers and crush nuts on each side that further hold the two units together. Then there are 8 driveshaft bolts with...

Ron and I have re-occupied FOB Holiday Inn Express and are going to assemble trucks tomorrow. On the way down here Jackie from GL called me and asked if we had bolts to assemble the MK48's. The short answer was no and we had addressed this issue with Honeywell the last time we were down...

I have managed to build a decent working relationship with the GL folks down there but as Ron stated it's not GL's real estate. I wanted to go the first week in September but Honeywell shot that down and we fell back a week. When I followed the first sale I knew that if there was no one on the...

Vehicles sold by GL in Flordia come with a FL title. Go figure.

GL make a mistake like that? Who'd a thunk it?:roll:

Warning Order On August 27th, 2012, the MK48 recovery team (Task Force Elmo) will exfiltrate FOB Possum in Alabama and convoy to Jacksonville, FL for Phase III of Operation MK48 Recovery. SP time at FOB Possum will be O700 on 27 Aug. ETA at FOB Holliday Inn will be 1600 on 27 Aug...

Ron and I have made it back from another successfull mission to get the MK48's assembled and loaded for our brother MV addicts. We are trying to work a deal with GL so that if we have enough clients we can go down the first week of September to do another load out mission. Since all of the...

Send Ron a PM and he will tell you where to find the info.....he also has a cap that you were looking for (I think).

If Ron is willing to put up with my snoring again he should be with me on the next load out. I have enough clients to make the mission a go. Central Command is cutting orders to send us TDY back to FOB Holiday Inn Express. Other than being insufferably humid Jacksonville was actually...

That was the first one of our three loaded.......I have driven plenty of HEMMT's but that was the first MK48 I had ever been in. Backing it onto the RGN was an experience not for the faint of heart. My pucker factor was close to 10. We have exfiltrated the objective returned to the Primary LZ...
