    HMMWV headlights don't turn on!

    I would agree with the others about it failing. I won't use them anymore in any of our HMMWV's.

    Brought home three of the GovPlanet HMMWV's today

    Would be impressed if I told you that I have THREE M-134's??

    Brought home three of the GovPlanet HMMWV's today

    What did I miss since last night ?? In other news, we are in the process of opening an "adventure park" where these will be used.. so NOT TITLE IS NEEDED. We purchased 162 acres of land only twenty minutes away from the Las Vegas Strip. Our property is next to other privately-owned land and...

    Brought home three of the GovPlanet HMMWV's today

    It took almost seven weeks for the EUC to clear this time. I guess it's been awhile since we did one and can only assume that our information was purged? Well, they arrived this afternoon in MUCH better condition than I was expecting. The pictures and descriptions were pretty close but I...

    Prices finally dropping.. phew!

    That's how I have to look at it. These are for business and I already know what I was willing to pay for them before so saving myself $7-$10K right off the start is a win for me. Now with all the money I would spent I can actually purchase another ten trucks and use them for donor trucks. I know...

    Prices finally dropping.. phew!

    I've been watching for the 6.5's and 242 T/C's. I have plans for about another 10-15 of them and I know the prices will keep falling but I bought these today JUST in case sales get cut. To me it's still cheap insurance because my plan was to purchase all of them with titles and I didn't plan on...

    Prices finally dropping.. phew!

    That didn't take long for prices to drop down to a reasonable price on GovPlanet. I was able to pick up three today and the most I paid was $12,500 (got one for $10,000) and that had a 6.5 and 242 T/C. One had a 6.2L and another must have been a comms truck becuse it had the 200 amp alternator...

    OT-64 owners, how are they?

    I bought one last week. It looks like it was completely refurbished before shipping and the engine compartment and engine are like new. Not a drop of oil anywhere. The transmission is different though. The air pressure has to get to 5 PSI (kind of like an LMTV) in order to engage. I like that...

    Any experience with Nankang N870 tires?

    I will find out what they keep them inflated at. All drivers perform their PMCS's daily and I will definitely check into that. V/R Ron M Cheney

    Any experience with Nankang N870 tires?

    Here in Clark County the tire shops will not handle mount/balance tires that are seven years or older. My concern is that I have use tires that are older than seven years and we have an accident involving a tire, I've opened myself up to the liability of using tires past the recommended limit...

    Any experience with Nankang N870 tires?

    First, I wish I could spend more hours here on SS chatting and reading but time is something that I have very little of. That being said, I have had some of my staff do some research here on the forums when they can't get a hold of our CWO who is a walking and talking TM. One thing that our...

    CH-34 Sikorsky haul from Flagstaff to Las Vegas needed

    Hi Folks, I need a CH-34 "Choctaw" helicopter transported from Flagstaff, AZ to Las Vegas, NV. If you have a very low deck (2ft height) trailer, no special permits will be needed. The blades and landing gear will be removed when loaded by the original owner. Overall length is 36ft long, 6ft...

    H1 (not hmmwv) now seats 12 people. Mix match of parts

    Was that H1 originally one of the Rebel Adventure Tours vehicles? I noticed the yellow paint and I was able to purchase the last four them myself. V/R Ron M Cheney

    Question about NP-218 and NP-242 transfer case swap

    Ted, do you have the PN's or NSN's on those? I've found a few different variants and I don't want to screw this up. I really appreciate you helping me out. Also, the HMMWV that I purchased from you several years ago is STILL running strong every day of the week. It's assigned to my lead driver...

    Question about NP-218 and NP-242 transfer case swap

    Hi folks, Quick question... can I pull a NP218 transfer case and install a NP-242 as long as I use a drive shaft that was used in a 242 vehicle? If so, anything else to the swap? In a huge jam and trying to figure this out fast. I don't want the guys to install the transfer case and then find...

    My M1 Abrams/Chieftain Mk5 is home!

    Luckily it did not. The rubber tracks held up well but taking the turn to back up caused little chunks of rubber to peel off. V/R Ron M Cheney

    My M1 Abrams/Chieftain Mk5 is home!

    We finally got delivery of our Chieftain Mk5 that was modified (along with two others) for use in the movie Courage Under Fire. It was delivered on Tuesday afternoon has been a head-turner since arriving at the property. Other than it being stuck in first gear, this tank is a dream to drive! I...

    M4A3 Sherman Restoration

    WOW... amazing! I wish we had the time to work on ours but we have been busy acquiring new armor and other tracked vehicles around the property. I would love to do a restoration like yours but I think we are going to have to go with a "restomod" type of restoration. I plan on using this tank...

    M4 Sherman being delivered on Monday!

    Steelypip, I followed those links and the A2 model appears to be what I have. One thing that the A2 link stated was that only the Marine Corps used these. The hull has remnants of "penny nails" that were welded on top of the hull and hatches. The previous owner stated that the nails were welded...
