Former Military Vehicles are great fun. As long as you have deep pockets to buy parts and the knowledge to install them yourself. Now take a Foreign Former Military Vehicle and you've just added the headache of simply FINDING the parts to fix it.

This truck is not for the 18 years old.
This is a MAN truck, a MATURE MAN one that goes over lands...one that are real careful with his equipment, one that knows how important very part of a vehicle is.
We are talking distance here, not sprints. :)

We're talking about the condition NOW not after a "mature man" purchases it. I've owned dozens of military vehicles (plus used them in the military) and can attest to the mistreatment these vehicles received before being released to the public. And some of the worst treatment is between when the units give them up and they get sold. The dispensing organizations (on-line auctions now) care very little about where they put a forklift when it comes to moving things around. Those that don't run, whether due to mechanical issues or just dead batteries, get pushed, lifted, and dragged around by any means necessary to move them. This one probably didn't have to worry about how the CUCVs came out of the US military. The vast majority of those came with bent driveshafts from being picked up by forklifts.

That truck is under-built for its size. Coil springs? I don’t think so. Check out the axle and springs on Saurer 6dm. Over engineered and over built. And we do have a parts source in Germany.

No, you are all wrong, just pointing out the differences on a lightly built truck versus one that is not. Ours is a Saurer 6dm, not a MAN. Later MAN trucks are built better than this one.

I was referring to the original poster. Didn't notice you were from AZ also (just for clarification - I am NOT from AZ and have NOTHING to do with the eBay posting).
