On GL I just purchased an M1008A1 in AL sight-unseen, but the pictures looked good. Turns out to be a truck shipped up from FL. It had been recently repainted after the cab corners were recreated out of chicken wire and bondo. I'm sure there was not intent to do this to enhance sale price - just...

FINANCE Group!!!:doh: Oh swell. Now who's going to help me design that very aggressive, angry, snarling dollar-sign logo to stencil on the doors? Anyway, thanks for the info, but next time how about lieing to me and telling me that it was a sniper truck. $15 PayPal sent. Cheers!

Be real careful about using original CUCV tires. Some that have very low miles and look fine will fail due to age. There's a great post on this at: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showpost.php?p=294828&postcount=26 Even if you are lucky and no personal injury results, a failure like that is bound...

M880/CUCV rim size danger Check out the attached image.

I'm sold, but can't find that tool on their website. Perhaps it is sold in their stores but not offered online?

I'm in Selma. Anxious to meet you fellas, but am without a ride at the moment. My first MV, M1008A1, is still sitting on the sales lot at Redstone. EUC was forwarded to Battle Creek 2009/01/22. Once that is cleared and recovery achieved I still have "no brakes", a dinged driveshaft, and whatever...

load-leveling hitch caution A load-leveling hitch can be a quite useful tool, but like everything else can cause problems if used carelessly. If overtightened they can remove too much weight from the towing vehicles rear axle resulting in a dangerous loss of traction. One of my most...

Yea that guy is one of us. He made a bad mistake, but I appreciate his willingness to hang those pictures and the story out there so we can all learn the easy way. I don't know much, but as a contractor for FEMA hired about 500 drivers to deliver thousands of travel trailers. After witnessing a...

I didn't preview those trucks, but bought one of the other M1008s in that batch and have the same question. The one I bought is: http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=2122485&categoryId=1004

Well congratulations. I had hoped that the higher bidder was someone here on SS. I didn't get a chance to preview that truck, but all indications are that you got an exceptional one. I want to warn you of one thing to keep in mind when you pick it up. Redstone requires 24 hour notice of...

Yea, I can feel that illness coming on strong. Good news is that after doing the math I discovered that the cost of this CUCV plus the cost of the divorce that might go with it is still much less than a new civilian pickup!

New to the group and apparently bought my first green iron via GL today and will start on the EUC/payment process tomorrow, hopefully followed by recovery not too many days from now. Had my heart set on that 11k mile contact maintenance M1031 from Redstone that sold today, but somebody else's...
