Also, if you make a small contribution to the site, you get a "Steel Soldiers supporter" tag under your name, and the ad blocker stuff goes away. ;) Cheers

If the civilian trailer has a 2" pin, you should be able to haul most with the M1088 as is. Are the frame rails on the M1088 34" like most other trucks? If so, a civilian 5th wheel is just a bolt on swap. Unless you need the height and side-to-side articulation of the military 5th wheel for...

That is a vehicle I would dearly love to own. I have looked hungrily at them for a long time, they combine military/Unimog/useful around the farm in one cool package. They are a rare beast, indeed, and from my understanding, very complex and expensive to maintain and keep functional. But they...

That is the cargo/maintenance platform for the SECM trucks. There are a couple of variations. The rails can be lowered to half-height, they also all come off and store under the platform when not in use. I have the SECM box, but not the platform or the Humvee! I'm in the process of mounting...

Yeah, I tried to get on this morning - "Account suspended?? What did I do??!??" rofl Cheers

Those new tires really do look good on there. I always think of that tread as "British pattern". Cheers

Oh, gee....another easy choice this month.... o_O Cheers

That first picture looks very familiar, it is one of my trucks! :-D I still have that 1009 with the Jetsonic, and my other M1009 has a Jetstream (same bar but has another rotator in place of the siren). Both are set up with straight amber lenses for legal running on the roads here. Both are...

David, thanks for adding the information. [thumbzup] Many of these type threads just end without the results ever being posted, so folks down the line get left in the dark trying to find answers. Cheers

They also initially had magnesium wheels. Cheers

It is not "junk", it is a single occupant mine detection and clearing vehicle, with an explosive resistant cab. Cheers

Congratulations Soupermike! No slouches this month, yet again. It would be so much easier to choose if there was only one nice vehicle instead of four (or more)! Cheers

Not one I was familiar with. It does look very similar. Cheers

Good looking truck! Were I a betting man, I'd say it had a winch bumper, which would explain the spacers and relocated star, and kept it when the truck sold, just swapping that other bumper on. While the majority of folks with "low mileage" M1009s are fooling themselves by not thinking their...

You can also try Erik's Military and Industrial Surplus. I have bought two sets of buckets for tail and side marker lights as replacements on trailers I was rebuilding, they fit perfectly. And they are inexpensive ($15 for tail-light buckets about 18 months ago). They are listed under...
