    The A-frame kit (hoist) for M35-let's talk about it

    Nice looking setup there, what'd you do for the bumper mounts?

    Lifting a Bobbed Deuce

    Don't mind me if I'm asking too many questions. It's my own way of showing that I am impressed with someone's work. I really like the setup you have on your truck and it's what I want to do with mine. Only I'm wanting to do a full length 4x4, instead of bobbing it.

    Grade 8 Bolts

    Mine wouldn't, it must be on the individual dealers.

    Grade 8 Bolts

    I used to exclusively use the Fastenal near me when I used to get a discount through my job. The only complaint that I have is that you have to buy bulk amounts and often I need just 1-2 for oddball projects here and there. Unless I need a bulk amount, I order off of the internet to get the...

    Lifting a Bobbed Deuce

    Those are re-arched stock springs or custom work?

    Lifting a Bobbed Deuce

    Any pictures of the front springs? I like the setup you have in the rear. I'm not a fan of block anywhere, but those trac-bars make it worth it.

    Lifting a Bobbed Deuce

    The very first post in this thread is an example of dropped hangars using stock brackets.

    Lifting a Bobbed Deuce

    You could drop the spring perches instead, much safer but requires a little more work.

    Lifting a Bobbed Deuce

    The axles have blocks welded onto them, even the front?

    M35 bed thickness

    If nothing else, it'd ride much smoother!

    Lifting a Bobbed Deuce

    I think it's supposed to be "rigid" and a 95/5 fuel mixture, although I don't know 95/5 of what and what.

    Old gasser? Found in overgrowth, what ya think?

    Congrats on saving it and wish I could take it off of your hands.

    Ever snap a front end?!?!

    No, I think it was more like a, "Hey, hold my beer..." moment:grd:

    Ever snap a front end?!?!

    Same here, I only do ANY kind of pulling in a forward gear. The driveline is not intended to take that kind of shock or wear in reverse. That's why if I'm using my personal vehicle, I do everything myself if at all humanly possible.

    How to..... Transmission Changeout.

    My engine hoist just reaches in far enough. I used a similar method for an alignment tool, I used a standard deep well socket and a deep well impact socket (with some "shim tape"). It worked perfect.

    M109 trailer Conversion thread

    He's asking if the OP makes or will make a trailer that has a drop side bed on it with the M105 front section on it.

    full length 4x4 deuce

    If I do cut up my truck, this is how it's getting done. I didn't want to lose the bed space, but I would like to lose the extra axle. I don't do any heavy towing or hauling and the truck is in rough shape anyway.

    "Ran When Parked" or "Rescue Me"

    Check coolant, oil and air filter. Put in new batteries, flush the fuel and see if she'll fire up. If it starts, shut it down and get her roadworthy again. At that point, it's worth saving... however, if it seems like there are major issues, it's a parts truck. Just my opinion.

    Mother and child killed by military truck

    I think that vehicular incidents follow the same rules as firearm incidents. There is no such thing as an accident, only negligence.

    M35 (and other MV) Roadside Assistance list

    I am working on this list when I can. Let me stress that I am out in the field training with my Army unit. I don't have much access to the internet. I spent all my time today on the internet getting access and information updated. It should be all good to go. I will not be back to full time...
