FRODO is right...you will spend an extra grand or so either now or later. Better to just buy it on the truck.

Check with CRUZINZ28 (Jesse). He has some of the CTIS parts. Do you still need me to measure the dipstick on my truck? Sorry for the delay.

Contact MADDAWG308 in VA. He has one for sale. I bet he'd bring it to Aberdeen and, if you are not coming, I would bet you can find someone who will haul it back to NY for you.

SILVERSTATE55, thank you for your post. While there are a lot of guys on this list with a lot of knowledge about these trucks, it is great to hear from someone with military experience who actually used these vehicles in service. There are others on here, too, who have served and there are...

I believe the military did testing in the 50s and found that the singles performed better off-road. For whatever reasons, they stuck with the duals for the most part for the next 30 years. I have not read the report, although I believe David Doyle has a copy. I have been told that this is one of...

Hey WEHRING, that Excursion looks awesome. Nice job.

Adding larger tires will definitely kill any power that you have now. These trucks were designed to spend their lives offroad. As such, the designers assumed the trucks would be driven through rough terrain at slow speeds (less than 30 mph). If you look at their intended purpose, they have...

I'd recommend something like a diesel-powered Suburban. You should be able to find something from the mid-90s for a reasonable price. This would offer you comfort, ruggedness, and room for storage. Good A/C and heat are a plus. Install a stout roof rack and away you go.

Contract year is not always a good guess. The contract year on my truck was 93, but everything has 97 rebuild years on them.

If anyone has any leads, please PM me. Thanks!

Be aware that parts can and do disappear from trucks after you bid! Do a search on this site for all the guys who have had parts stolen or their trucks damaged while still on GL soil. Dudley (ATANKERSDAD) is probably the most recent person with parts stolen from his trucks. He had a light...

Check with HALFTRACK on this list. He has some new track pads for that vehicle.

Longest trip I made in an M35A2 was 18 hours. It was really fun...until about five hours in. I would do it again, but only if absolutely necessary to get my truck some where. Otherwise, about five hours is the furthest I'd go just for the heck of it.

It was not a speeding ticket and it was not in a deuce, but some idiot I used to know got a ticket for driving an M1009 around town without tags or insurance. He tried to tell the MD State Trooper that he was on active duty. When asked why he was with his wife in civilian attire coming out of...

$3,500 is not too much to ask for a truck WITH A TITLE. However, in my opinion it is too much for a standard M35A2 w/w WITHOUT A TITLE. While $3,500 is on the low side of retail and there are plenty of great reasons to buy retail (anyone can review my previous posts where I have stated on many...

Here is exactly what GL told me when I asked for some compensation: From: Monika Zalewska [mailto:mzalewska@govliquidation.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2008 12:06 PM To: Bruce Eric Kubu Subject: RE: Regarding Claim Sale 3391 Lot 1256 Dear Mr. Kubu, Thank you for your email...

REBELPRIDE, thanks for sharing that message from GL. Unfortunately, and I suppose this was your point, they said absolutely nothing!

Kevin (RANCHHOPPER), unfortunately, there are guys out there who will not think like you. They will rush in to fill the void because they want to get their deals rather than act on principal. I will not be bidding.

HENTZEN COATINGS make the two component paint...at least they did the last time I bought from them three years ago. I have gone with the Sherwin Williams recently.

If you are interested in selling it, please talk to me. PM sent. we could work out a trade or a trade/cash or cash. If you want an M929 that you can tag historically, I have one that is manufactured in 1984. It is MINT...new hood, new fenders, new doors, new hard top, new troop seats, new...
