Fort Lewis Inspection this friday 8-8-08?

[wsucougarx]

Hello, I'm heading to Fort Lewis to check out the lot up for auction. Out of the 10 trucks I have my eye on 4 or 5. My biggest thing or lack thereof is I have no idea what I am looking for in a truck. Besides checking fluids I'm really not sure what else I need to do. Is anyone going to Fort Lewis this friday morning? Let me know Email is probably the best way to let me know

No one? I guess I'll be going solo. Any recommendations of what to look for? I plan on looking for obvious problems like rust, tire conditions, fluids, water in oil, wet or leaking transfer case/engine/tranny/differentials. Any idea of how I can find out the overhaul date? Is it listed somewhere on the truck? What else should I be looking for?

Actually I found someone to go with me. Funny how we forget the obvious. Got a friend who drove the deuce for 4 years in the Marines and 4 years in the Army..... I think he may know a thing or two about the trucks

Did you end up winning a truck? Are you near Pullman? I'm over in Moscow during the school year, and will probably have my M35 over there.

I did win a truck "Now what?" my wife asks. I answer with a very concerned "Hmm not sure" and I'm thinking who cares isn't it great I graduated from WSU in '99 and live just 60 miles from Ft Lewis down in Grays Harbor. Ah yes only 60 miles....I can get in a lot of trouble w/Gov't Liq. Luckily I don't own acreage so for now just 1 truck ought to do it. I read your write up on your last truck. Did you have any problems w/any parts disappearing off your deuce? So far I have been pretty happy w/the GL staff at FT Lewis. I'm waiting for that EUC to go through, it's also my first so I guess its the waiting game. I had my EUC, Export Letter and drivers license e-mailed in 2 hrs after the end of the auction. I guess I'm a bit eager to pick her up. Did you sell your truck already? The one with the bunny thing on it?

Good job on winning the truck..

I live only 10 miles from Ft. Lewis So it will be a short drive home for me. The wife is starting to warm up to the idea of a Deuce in the driveway. LOL

I figure that I can put 2 or 3 more on the property with out getting too crowded.

And yes, I'm already looking for another one. Dang Green disease strikes again.

I'm getting it too. I've been to FT Lewis 2 times to check out my truck since Thursday
