I know. I was offering to transport one if you were able to find one at Brad's that was still good and reasonable.

But now it looks like He's going the 'New' route so I may have to withdraw my offer, for now.

BTW, the LED headlights on Stuart's HEMMT look great!

And how does he get away without having it plated?

Listed at the bottom of the page. 24v headlights. NIB. No price so I guess you have to call and ask.

The only sticker I was tempted to put on was an "Obummer". I didn't want the phones at Ft Lewis ringing off the hook, I think too highly of our persons in uniform to do something so childish.

What does Scott have on his? I'll have to go look through the bumper sticker thread again. It's a green ribbon, but I forget what it said...

It isn't too non-PC.

Okay, I can't fine the rear of his Deuce there... :-/ SCOTT! Whatcha got on the back of your rig????

Say Scott,

While you're out at Brad's, if he has any m101a2 trailers, see if any have good shocks. I have a bent one that should most likely be replaced.

Or does anyone have better ideas on replacing these?

Bent, as in it looks like someone ran into it with a 4x4 so the tube is bent, but it most likely still works. A GL Wonder? Who knows.... No picture of it from the website showing the undercarriage from the auction, so anything is possible.

Rather than getting a used one, perhaps visiting a NAPA can yield you a cross refrence to a new one. Shocks aren't typically very expensive unless you are getting gas pressurized, remote reservoir units. Saying that, I got 28 of them (New Surplus) for the HEMTT at $14.25 each, including motor freight, from a nice SS member from Georgia.

No problem. Weather looks to get worse before it gets better this week and I didn't want you wrecking your surgeon's work under some truck at Brad's.

Still, if someone needs something brought North from there, and I can get it on Saturday, I am still more than willing to haul it up. I should have a full tarp for the trailer on Thursday and real lights by Saturday afternoon.

I'm going to need a towel after this is all over.... :jumpin:

Yeah, sorry Harold. Too bad you couldn't stick around but I know what it's like trying to get something working and wanting to get your trailer wired.
