    FNG from Sparta WI

    I thought there was an exemption for CUCV's. Might want to search the site for the conversations on this topic to find the details.

    m105 tall cargo cover

    I'm sure they will be fine, I'm just not a woodworker. I'd much rather make some steel extensions, or weld in an extension in the rack.

    m105 tall cargo cover

    Hmm, I wonder how small it can be folded / rolled down to? Mine is up at my camp so I can't try folding it up till I get up there again.

    m105 tall cargo cover

    I'd love to get some extensions, too bad they are probably impossible to find. If anyone has a nice standard length cover they would like to trade I'd be interested.

    m105 tall cargo cover

    Not so much the method, but the wooden extensions that I didn't care for too much.

    m105 tall cargo cover

    I don't know, it's got a brown section in the middle that looks like an extension. It doesn't have those flaps at the bottom of the 105 cover though.

    m105 tall cargo cover

    thanks for the link. Not so sure I like that method. I was hoping I could find out what he Mil did to extend the sides.

    m105 tall cargo cover

    When I bought my m105's one of them had 2 covers and all the bows in the back. Once of th covers has a brown piece spliced in so it es extra tall, but I don't have the side racks/ tall enough to fit the cover. Was it pretty common to have an extra tall cover? How did they make the side...

    M900 axles under the M800 chassis

    I thought in opcom's thread about the 939 t-case it was determined the diff is on the correct side? I have been told before that the 939 air brakes will bolt on to the 809 axles also. Everything from the backing plate out.

    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    If you compare the TM pic to the actual, you can see cover #14 at the top of the 2nd pic and Plug 32 at the bottom. Based on that the outputs look fine to me. Also, you hear of people wanting to put 939 axles into their 809 trucks for air brakes. If the outputs were flipped that wouldn't...

    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    Calulators from www.4Lo.com Here is a good site, use the MPH calculator. Here is the post I mentioned on the 939 t-case. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-up/51175-m939-speed-mystery-solved.html If that ratio is actual, it seems you would be way under geared.

    serious discussion of 5-ton speed increase via gearing (transmission, differential)

    I remember another member posting that the M939 series t-case is not a 1:1 ratio in high range, it is (and I'm going off of a bad memory here) somewhere around .8 to .9 to 1. That would help you get a good ways towards where you want to be, and still keep the drivelines at very similar lengths...

    Looking for a 6x6

    This is not true in Michigan. If it's for private use (no commercial at all) , and owned by yourself you don't need a CDl in michigan. It's listed on the exceptions page in the CDL literature. Also, depending on year you can register it historical and save lots of $$'s. Shameless plug: I...

    Eye Safety

    Haven't you guys ever heard of the saftey squint? ;-) I would like to find some of the saftey glasses w/ the foam seal around the eyes. I don't like the bulky sience class goggles they sell, plus the vent holes allow metal dust in.

    m1008 dana 60 question

    Your front 60 will have 35 spline inner axles and 30 spline outer axles. I'm assuming your asking because you will need a new carrier to go down in ratio, so your gonna be concerned w/ the inner axle spline count. 14 bolts are @ 30 spline.

    Need Help from fellow MI Members!

    I fully intend to stay above the bridge. You guys can have the LP :) No cheating the system, I walked into the DMV told her what it was and answered the questions, and I got what I got. When registered my Deuce Dump I had to title it commercial, and she said it was because it was a dump...

    Need Help from fellow MI Members!

    My deuce is titled as a Jeep M35a2. Regular plates. Michigan has a CDL exemption for personal use, so I don't know why you would need a DOT insp. or med card. Why would he need chauffers license? He's not driving the thing for employment or hauling people.
