It probably wasn't OSHA approved, but it's on the trailer and heading to the great white north.

HMMWV I recently finished for a customer. The next one in line to paint will be tan/black, unless someone steps up and tells me they want a different color 😉.

Bought a new to me truck yesterday (via a phone call), had it picked up today by a friend and he delivered it to it's new owner today. Think that may be the quickest buy/sell I have ever managed.

Well got some more projects. And a truck/trailer for sale!

My wife will never see it when she looks out the kitchen window. Perfectly hidden behind that tree!

If only I could afford the one on the left!

First MTVR showed up all the way from CA a couple days ago. I am pretty sure it needs at least one tire. Overall not a bad looking truck, it does need a few tires though.

Oh yea! Runs and drives! MTVR 7-ton, now to try and get the 2nd one I bought running!

Big difference in what it looked like when I sold it, to what it looks like now! It is now at the Royal Tank Museum in Amman, Jordan. M50a1 Ontos, one of 297 made IIRC.

Left the house at 7:30, getting in bed at 11:30. But I can't complain we made it there and back in one piece. Only had one flat tire on the way home luckily. 7 trailers and two trucks bought today,l so the wrecker sure got a workout. One trailer still left to bring home (or sell where it sits for anyone looking for a 1082 in the Raleigh area)

Will be going home tomorrow!

Sure is a good lookin' HMMWV if I do say. Drives nice too with the turbo/overdrive.

Can't do that with a harbor freight engine hoist!

Horrible pictures, but sure is nice having a wrecker truck to pull engines. The skid steer would do it but wrecker makes it SOOO much easier and safer.

Some HMMWV's on the way, they should be here tomorrow.

Two trucks for sale. $12,500 for the one with the box (box included, $11k w/o box), great for camping! $10k for the other truck. Title in hand for the truck with the box, still waiting on the title for the other truck.

If anyone is looking for a m1078 I have two here that will be ready to sell soon and one more that I should have within the next month. The wrecker truck pictured is for sale as well.

Flying in some cool planes and working on them as well. Kind of a working vacation!

Customer got new shoes installed today on his HMMWV. I will get it back at some point for bumpers and possibly some other things.

This was likely the final haul for the m916/m870. At least while I owned it. Trailer should be going to Michigan and truck to Florida. It will be hard to see these leave that for sure.

Going to look very nice once it has bumpers and a nice set of tires/wheels! Paint turned out great

Almost done at the paint shop. Can't wait to get it back and get it finished up.

Easiest way to load a piece of junk into the bed of a 5-ton truck. I don't know who bought this Mighty Mite, but they have a BIG project in a very little package.

Said the final goodbyes to my last 8x8. Glad to see it gone but hated to see it go. It will be hading to Marion, SC to continue life in the heavy wrecker business.
