Any members on the Big Island of Hawaii????

[ssgtwright-usmc]

Just wondering if their are any members here from the Big Island of Hawaii.
Only been living their now for the past year and a half and dont really know too many people here.
The only person I do know is my ex.
Just looking for other members near by to chat with from time to time.

Hey Aloha,
I dont live there yet but we already have a few acres in HPP on the Hilo side.
Im hoping to be out there by xmas next year. Well really I was hoping for xmas this year but I doubt our house will sell this year.
Ive got quotes for shipping my Deuce via Matson looks like about 6000$$
Im worried about reg and ins over there , maybe hard to get for the Deuce?

I see some people driving M35s here on the Island from time to time.
I also see this one guy off the highway near HPP selling them from time to time along with trailers.
Would buy a trailer from him but too much $$$$$ for rust on wheels.
Insurance I went with Geico for my M1008. Had AIG but was paying more with them.
Here in Hawaii shouldnt be a problem if you already have it registered from the state your in.
All you need is a current Hawaii inspection, insurance and they will give you new tags at that point.
They wont give out tags without a current inspection!!!!

You can check and/or add your name to the member map located under the Resources tab at the top of the pages. I've never been able to see anybody name but you may be lucky. Wayne

I have tried the map locator under the resource tag but I guess any members from SS from Hawaii besides myself dont have their location listed as per the requirment of SS.
The map locator tag would and is a great tool if members would add their general location.
Its not like its asking for a physical address and phone number.
Hopefully some more members will list their general location if they are afraid they have to list their physical address.

Yea those pics are from across from HPP he wanted 3500 for the 109 and trailer but it was rusted thru and leaking everywhere.
I was thinking of selling mine and picking one up from Barbers point but the condition of mine is just to nice to trade off for one with so many unknowns..

 

[ssgtwright-usmc]

I thought that truck looked familiar. Thats the same truck and trailer I was looking at.
Tried to make an offer with him but he would'nt budge.
Thats when I started looking on line and found govliquidation.com hoping I can one day find something on one of the many Islands of Hawaii.
I have always wondered what the shipping costs would be from Honolulu to Hilo if I was lucky enough to get one.

you should get all the deals from GL on Hawaii if you are the only one around. You might do better selling your duece and buying one there instead of shipping. with your box truck you could also remove the box and ship it only.
