Those trailers are really nice!!

 

[Stalwart]

Have you seen those two in person Mike?

 

[wsucougarx]

I saw one of them when I was there previewing other items. Gl was moving them from the drmo side to the gl side. They are currently listed right now. They are somekind of ammo trailer.

 

[Stalwart]

Yes Mike, they are HEMAT trailers for the MLRS rockets to be towed behind the M985 HEMTT that has the heavier crane than mine. Both the truck and trailer carry the rocket pods and reload the MLRS launcher/transporter. Purpose built trailer for the HEMTT

I was in there with my m923 and they mentioned your truck, figured it was you.

Next time your in St johns. Ya should swing by if ya can.

Who got these from GSA? A lot more than I thought they are worth. $4900 for both?

What the hecks going on today? Did a bunch of people receive early tax refunds? Man oh man. The way the bidding went on GL for JBLM, I think I need a second job to keep up with the high bids.

 

[Stalwart]

I have a funny feeling that the HEMAT trailers are going to go beyond my wife's spending limit. I can only hope no one else has a use for them.

 

[wsucougarx]

You've got nothing to worry about here Stuart Thinking it'd be a little too much for a deuce to pull

 

[Stalwart]

I'm sure a Deuce would pull them just fine . . . empty, or not TOO loaded. They weight 10,850 empty and can carry 22,000 for a total of nearly 33,000. Actually, I'm thinking the HEMTT may need a power boost to the 550-600 hp range. Especially If I find a way for the trailer to transport the Scorpion.

Hey WSUCoug. Any idea what the desert painted truck went for? The weather really messed up my schedule this week and I didn't pay attention to the auction. But it was probably most self preservation for me, here at the house.

 

[wsucougarx]

Yes sir, it went for $4221. Which wasn't too bad. It was a nice looking truck.

Coug, thanks for the reply on the desert truck. Was thinking I need one of those for the fleet for Desert Storm Displays. My M54 is a Desert S. veteran, but it is still painted woodland camo. Besides, don't have room to park another one.

 

[AN/ARC186]

So what happened with the auction? We lost power as well as connectivity early Thursday morning, anybody get anything good?

 

[AN/ARC186]

Power is still out BTW, sending this from work, came in to get cleaned up.

Last I talked with Maurice he was going through some tough personal stuff. We may not hear from him for a while. Keep him in your thoughts.

I can help If I win what I want this thursday. I have a hunch that we are bidding on the same items though, along with everyone else in the PNW.

 

[ABN173]

along with everyone else in the PNW.

and perhaps even more remote locations too.
