Hey,
Any one here ever buy anything at government surplus auctions, especially the M1008, M1009, or M1028 4x4s? Any problem removing from depot? Title? Loading? As for the vehicles, hard to swap from 24V to 12V? SHOULD you swap from 24V to 12V? Any one convert one of these rigs to a 5.7? Is the paint on these things really hazardous to remove? thanks for any info.
