I'd just like to chime in and say welcome to the site! I have purchased and recovered 3 trailers from Ft. Lewis. (M101A1, M105A2, M101A2) Once you get the system down, it's very easy and the GL personnel while almost always busy, they are very helpful.

A zombie apocalypse may not occur, but it's good to be prepared in the event of a disaster whether it's man made or natural. Also people always ask why I would want to own an old military truck. It's fun to tell them I'm preparing for the inevitable zombie apocalypse. It usually stops them...

Ditto. The military must have retrofit some of the trucks.

GL is strict, but after the first EUC it gets easier. Just save your old corrected EUC paperwork and copy most of the information over the next time you win something. My last EUC cleared within a week of winning the auction. Like others have said, GL is just the middle man. They have to follow...

Dang! I need to check in here more often. I'm stuck at work today and am totally going to miss this event. :sniff: Good luck with the event.

There are licensed exporters who could help you with the transfer. I'd recommend giving them a call first to see what is needed and how much they would charge. I worked over 10 years at a commercial vehicle lot here in Washington state and have a lot of experience transporting vehicles across...

I can't get my truck up to 60mph. You must have oversized tires or are pushing your truck too hard. Also all deuces slow down on hills. It's a 135HP engine pulling a 13,000lb truck.

I disagree with this proposition of course, but it's hard for me to imagine a vehicle that was built in 1981 could be considered a classic. I must be getting old.

That is one big trailer! What did it haul? An Abram's tank?

HOA says no trucks parked out front. It says nothing about land trains. lol

69? It should be 96 for that tank. It's freakin' huge! Yeah I know. It defeats the innuendo. (or does it?)

With that said, when is Scott going to start a 5th Maxi' Rally thread? :driver:

Ooh, power steering! Just make sure to license it as collector or tonnage below 26K GVW to avoid needing a CDL to drive it.

I saw that ad. Good looking truck and it has a winch!

Yeah thanks. I'm ordering a pair from Saturn Surplus.

That's my big concern. I have Collector plates on my 78 deuce. I'd hate to go back to paying for tonnage. Especially since I don't use it for hauling.

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.

I thought about bidding on that, but if you read the auction description it clearly says it has to be demil'ed before leaving the premises.

Congrats on the purchase! Hope to see you at some local meets.

Sniff, You forgot ol' Jinxy. Who let you sit in their deuce first? Jinx that's who. But I'm not bitter. :cry:
