Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I mean, it takes skills to install those parts right? How much more skill does it really take to make a gov planet account, bid on a truck, and pull the parts off it? I feel like anyone ambitious enough to tackle a slantback coversion has to at least consider buying a parts truck.
Agree and disagree. Remember there people that cannot open a gov planet account or are prohibited from obtaining government stuff. There some people who have made a lot of money through out the years by working hard but they don't know how to use a computer or navigate and sometimes have to pay the highest prices.
Thats support for the armor/armored door. Thats a score, if you dont use it you can probably get some coin for it on ebay.
Thanks. I prefer to keep it. It looks and feels nice. Looks better than the naked metal in my 1st truck.
Lol. Be thankful. God is good.
Always!!!
You could always send all that extra stuff to me
Far too many issues with SECO parts if you want exact fit and reliability, Most of those in the market for a slant kit have previously bought off GP so the EUC wait time is not much of a factor. I don't believe flipping requires much skill it is more of a time and space issue. I will admit that more than ever we're seeing a whole new group of HMMWV buyers who are complete strangers to the HMMWV platform. I have been tempted by the very low auction prices that have been coming out of Yermo but 1-2K to transport to FL keeps me shopping at Albany where you can find a 1165A1 slant for under 6k, the best part about it is I can easily make the 3-hour trip to the yard and lay eyes on it and others as well. The deals can be had if you know exactly what you're bidding on.
It is very true.
The have been quite a few 1165’s that have fetched a pretty penny but those were in near mint condition. The deals can be found when you invest you time into knowing ht you’re bidding on. A trip to the yard can pay off big time when biding on the parts queens, As they say “knowing is half the battle”.It is very true.
I am one of those complete strangers to buying humvees, to be Honest i only dreamed and thought that these trucks were only for the movies and military, i never dreamed i could get one. Where i was born, pfffff just drooling
The prices out of Yermo for shipping are high, but lately i have seen trucks going out of GA for insane amount of money. To be honest it's all over the place, some days you can aim at a good deal and some other is like "what the hell"
That is true if you live withing a couple of hours from the yard. The colsest one is GA and just crossing the state line for me is about 6 hours. Probably next time i go to lake lanier i might stop by and see how it is.
