Hi List, Sarge here.
I just drove my deuce 1,730 miles from Austin TX to Stockton CA to look at the Mattracks Hummvee treads. I was somewhat upset to find out that they are physically located 239 miles north of Stockton at the Sierra Army Depot. GL showed them at Stockton. It was a 4 day gruelling ride from Austin to Stockton, followed by another 9 hour drive over the Donner Pass to Sierra. The reason I am posting this message is to warn all of the people bidding very high amounts on these systems. I was at Sierra Army Depot this morning and DRMO assured me that I was the only person to ever inspect these tracks. Many of them are destroyed, and not one single one has perfect treads. But, the most important warning of all THE PHOTO's DO NOT MATCH THE ITEMS BEING SOLD. Many of the photo's show the same lot, which, not co-incidentally, is the best lot. Another very important point, Mattracks are a different design to fit on the front or rear of a vehicle. Many of these lots are mixed, 3 front and one rear, 3 rear and one front, and
in one case 4 fronts. If you are buying one lot and hoping to use them on your vehicle, I can tell you that only two lots (out of 13) have the correct 2front/2rear mix. If you are buying 3 or more lots, you might get two sets out of it.
Having said all that, I must admit that I am bidding, but only on the lots that are complete and correct.
Let the buyer beware!
good luck
