Please talk him out of this

Five years ago I decided I needed a M151, I now own 9 M151's, M718, M38. M715 and a M211, THERE IS NO CURE FOR THIS DISEASE, but if you're gonna have a disease, this is a good one to have.

Same here, started with a deuce, now look what I have. This disease can only kill you if you let the truck fall on your head. Let him have a truck.

I got my first just a little over a year ago, an LMTV, now........the LMTV, MK-48/14, M1070 HET, two M931A2's, to HEMAT trailers, two M1102 trailers, M105A2 and an M1082 trailer. It's hard to just say no!

Thanks for nothing everyone. He is going to look at a donor truck Saturday you guys are no help at all!

 

[Coffey1]

We try our best to be of service.

Now we will need pictures so we can vicariously feed our addiction!! Best of luck on looking at the truck. We have been there before and can help with buying advice.

OK this is what I figured would happen...maybe I just needed confirmation that it's the right thing to do for his sanity. I mean,how can I judge him when I'm monster truckin around wearing a tank top and a Walther?

BTW y'all are a bunch of butt munchies for siding with him. Pics will follow if he takes the leap.

That just means I get a HEMMT and a PX4 Storm.

 

[SturmTyger380]

How about showing us pictures of your ride? It sounds like you have it set up for running the woods! Alan

SturmTyger380,

I have never posted pictures on this site due to issues I've had with a couple of local members. However, I'm going to need all the help I can get if my crazy a$$ husband buys the truck he found. So, I'll indulge your request, and thank you for any help in the future. That's my girl working it at a couple of events this year. I think I need practice posting pictures.

 

[SturmTyger380]

Really nice! I love how you have tied your business into the truck!

 

[MRAP DREAM GIRL]

I also need to start compiling a list of possible parts suppliers. I do lots of business with Boyce and have been made aware of Alpha Heaven. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

And of course, the big name suppliers:

My secret though? My favorite place to order from is the really awesome folks found here:

I have found parts also at:

Sam Winer Motors Akron Oh
Surplus City Jeep Parts (sometimes)

Sometimes you can find rare goodies at military flea markets. Or just ask and we might can help find something.

Oh Boy

Got her started and drove around some then the fuel lines clogged up. Going to bring her home tomorrow, with luck.

Have an EMERGENCY REQUEST! Can any one direct a girl to the operators manual for the truck so my crazy better half can learn to work the transmission.

 

[SturmTyger380]

That is a really nice looking truck. We will be glad to help out and answer any questions you have about working on it. Alan

Alan,

Got your PM and want you to know I think you are a doll. The old girl is darn near museum quality and I have never seen a bigger smile on soldier A's face. He has wanted an M211 since he was about 8. Before the fuel lines clogged she purred like a kitten and shifted like a race car. Guy put a brand new holey carb on her from Memphis Eq.

I have to say it was impossible not to fall in love with her. Now we just need a killer name for her.
