The above beauty is mine, btw.

I won't be there. I'm about 1300 miles away.

Some pics from the auction. A face only a mother could love. Btw, no steering wheel. I'm having to rent a forklift just so I can get it off the carrier.

Currently, GovPlanet is releasing the vehicles. I bought a M1097 2 months ago in WA and was able to pick it up 5 days later, and I just recently won a M1114 (for parts) from Yermo and the auction clearly states I have 8 business days to pick up or incur storage fees. But, the SF97's will still...

Just bought a parts vehicle, 2005 M1114. I plan to strip the transmission (and other sundry parts) for my M1097. Pull the wheels/tires for spares, maybe some other parts. Sell the slant back pieces, maybe some other stuff and scrap the rest so it won't be in my possession long...hopefully...

Put 50% down, finalized the dimensions and ordered the fuel tanks. Should take 1-2 months. Each tank works out to be about 45 gallons. Though, I'll be lucky to get 40 gallons of use considering the surface area & how shallow they are. This is one of my latter floor layouts, though I've...

I guess I've been lucky. I've been to several shows in small towns/cities and never had a problem. I tell kids crawling inside not to touch anything on the dash (they can grab the steering wheel). No one's ever turned on the power switch which would sound the audible alarm for the air tanks...

I'm gearing up to start the actual camper part of the build so thought I'd start a master thread here. I call it a mini home because it's much more independent than a camper. I'll post links to all that I've done if you really got a lot of time to waste at work. So...I started my process...

This is the kind of cryptic response I'm used to seeing on SS. Kind of surprised you included the "Look up" part.

Little off topic, but I found a paint called Singularity Black that is nanotube based like Vantablack. SB, however, is available to anyone. The process involves heating the paint to 120C after application. It works great on fabric, so, if you want to dress like a ninja... Like some of the...

What is the difference between Aeroglaze Z306 and Aeroglaze Z307? Aeroglaze Z307 is conductive, while Aeroglaze Z306 is not. Conductive paints are used to provide EMI (electromagnetic interference) or RFI (radio frequency interference) shielding to a product. I think I'll stick with Z306...

Vantablack is owned by one guy and not for sale to the public. It's made from nanotubes of graphite.

Looking further into this, there have been 2 cars painted with these super absorbing light paints. However, both were done as publicity stunts and probably never drove more than a few miles in perfect conditions. BMW painted a car with Vantablack, which is not even available to the public, and...

BLACK 2.0 - The world’s mattest, flattest, black art material by Stuar – Culture Hustle USA Granted, it's expensive. Though they do give a discount between sizes, so maybe they would give a discount for volume. What I'm wondering is, would it be looking for trouble or just plain stupid to...

Bumping an old thread because I found a source. I've never ordered from the site, but military-spareparts.com has RT-524 working, tested models for ~$650 including shipping to the US (they're in Greece). Again, I'm not endorsing this site. I just found them through a search, emailed and they...

Went online form with Haggerty, stated that my primary use was utility/offroad/non daily driver, and the form gave me a quote. Mine is a 2007. But, I had some more questions so I decided to call. I mentioned that the variant is a utility vehicle and that's what I was planning on doing with it...

So, for me the hmmwv is a fun vehicle. I have a Subaru wagon that acts as my daily driver, but it's really poor for carrying weight. I also have an M35 that I'm converting into a tiny home so that won't be much use anymore for hauling stuff. Cue the humvee. Now, I don't need a pick-up truck...

I won last Wednesday (1/4), filled out the paperwork and filed everything that night. Arranged the wire transfer that paid on Friday and picked up on Tuesday (1/10). I wasn't there, but the people that picked up for me (had to trailer it) did say that they could've picked up 2 humvees for all...

You have to wait for the EUC before you can pick up? I picked up as soon as I paid. Won on Wed, picked up on Tues. They told me it would be a few weeks for the SF97.

Thanks for the reasoned response. Feels like I'm on Reddit. I used to race (on the amateur level), strictly on pavement. A stiffer sidewall does help with cornering, to avoid tire roll. This is not to say that the additional weight of a run flat didn't also have a detrimental effect to...
