I don't know anything about Alabama law, but if it is not commercial then it should not need a DOT number.

RE: stuff I I am going it looks like, so who want to buy/sell/swap stuff? I guess this a good chance for the Steelsoldiers shipping services if people need things passed on.

RE: roadside help Ok I am in for at least Sat/Sun, but am still working on Friday. Even if I can get off then I am not sure if I will be able to meet up for the local convoys as I don't get off till midnight.

Now you are talking. I will offroad for Hooters Girls! This is why I decided not to drive down to Ga. for Clinto's rally. I kept hearing about strippers, but was rather disappointed when that did not come together. I did not even see a stripper pole in any of the rally pics :cry: Anyways...

RE: bowe Any chance these are from an FMTV? They have more of a squared of corner from the pics I have seen of the outside of te covers.

What criteria did you use to determine the use of this PS gear over others? I'm guessing that size is a consideration on this, but maybe not as much as I thought as you made it work outside of the frame. How deep is that box from the outside end of the pitman arm rod to the side wall of the...

Does being lazy count as a handicap? Really I have been doing a bunch of towing recently with the other deuce, and then this IH that had the HIAB on it. Backing up to the lunette on anything but a flat surface is a pain in the ARMS if you can even get it to move. Actually I am thinking of going...

I ran across a big truck junk yard this week, and found two power steering systems that have interested me in eventually putting PS on my deuces. The first is an Air-o-matic that is currently mounted on some older ford heavy truck. The other is a TRW hydraulic power steering out of a dump...

RE: stuff I If I can get off work I will be gonig, and if I so will be posting some things I can bring too if anyone wants them. It would be nice to have a bit of a swap meet along with trail riding to get some heavy stuffed moved around to people who can use them. Some quick things I know I...

I am hoping to make it, but I am still working on getting off the weekend from work.

Awesome looking truck. I guess it shows that I grew up on Saturday morning cartoons as the first thing I thought when seeing this is paint it red and you would have Optimus Prime from the Transformers. How does the front steering react when towed in reverse like that? I often see heavy trucks...

I pretty sure the only way to get an accurate test of winching capacity is to have a strain gauge placed between the winch cable and an unmovable object.

I am a little surprised to hear that replating won't stick sometimes as it is a chemical process unless they are refering to problems with used parts having oil and dirt residue that can cause incomplete coverage. At least that one ram is way beyond plating though. The rust is obviously too...

Thankfully I will have lots of time to contemplate which type of Deuce or 5 ton to install this on. Bjorn's setup with the pipe bed is very nice, but there are many choices that will work equaly well. Maybe a shortened M35A2C so that it is 9' or one boxed section shorter would work. I also...

The problems.

Here are some of the pics of the HIAB on the IH truck.

Well here are some pics. I will have more pics of the HIAB as it was on the IH later as I need to resize them all first. These pics start with my second marathon HIAB removal session. The first session where I removed the boom was all after dark, so I did not bother to try and take any pics...

RE: Driveshaft clearance Is one of these an air pig with a big hose and fitting? I could imagine that would be useful for using a larger impact. It would certainly save space in the bed by having the air pig mounted.

The height has beenn my one concern with buying a S280. Nice shelter. How does the interior look?

This thing is kicking my butt big time. I was up to 6am this morning on a marathon session pulling off of that IH truck. Round two is about to start after lunch. Unfortunately this turned into a solo job. There was a dead cat sized thing that had a nest in the center boom. The IH truck is...
