That is amazing!! Fantastic job!

I recently picked up a couple of these at a local auction. The davits & hoist pieces are stored next to the carrier and secured with straight pins & R-clips. Hope this helps.

If it’s just a light coating I wouldn’t worry about it…. I haven’t had any issues with mine since.

Hopefully you’re just overthinking things…. I haven’t had any issues with mine since posting this but I only used a very thin coating.

Welcome from Southern Utah! You’re in Utah Military Vehicle Club home territory there, I’m surprised @Valence hasn’t posted here yet.

Simp’s 920 Build thread has some good info on what wheels fit the 920 & 916 trucks as well as links to other useful threads.

20-inch wheels won’t fit on 920/916 front wheels as the valve stem doesn’t have enough clearance. It will require grinding the front drum down for the valve stem to clear. @simp5782 listed the wide flotation 22.5” wheels he runs on his in his 920 thread, otherwise 24.5” wheels generally fit...

Not right off hand, but a member here was selling replacements a while back… Mine had the solder joint break & the pickup tube was lying on the bottom of the tank. I took both to a local Parker-authorized hose shop & they brazed both for strength. Haven’t had any problems on the pickup side...

The turbos will definitely help; your big issue will be visible smoke…running WMO will generate some. IIRC Utah allows around 20% opacity for exhaust, particularly up in the Wasatch Front with its inversion layers. Adjust the percentage of WMO added to your diesel for the desired exhaust...

Quite an impressive equipment layout. What was your theme/time period with all the woodland?

WOW nice, clean, and complete! Looks like you could use a new cover for it! :cool:

WOW! That’s going to be awesome!!

Israelis use pintle hitches on their tanks to tow mobile bridges to cross obstacles, among other things. In Desert Storm a few tanks towed MICLIC mine-clearing trailers, the MICLIC system was pretty new at the time.

GOOD!

Very cool, thanks! Really enjoy seeing the M48A5 in action!

Most of us here own trucks that are 30+ years old, and many times a seemingly simple issue is an indicator of either a larger issue or a multitude of issues. Most of our trucks/vehicles aren’t less than 10 years old & sent to a large maintenance shop with only 1 issue to be resolved; nor are we...

There it is for the second time. Not going to waste time/energy arguing about it, just going back to lurking & let the experts handle these issues. I’ve already explained why I do it, but I’m obviously crazy. So, OP, go ahead and fill those filters full of fuel and crank away on the starter...

For DD 8V92 If your fuel tank has a vented cap near where your fuel suction & return lines enter tank, replace it with either a threaded air line adapter or quick disconnect (I use female quick disconnects, so fuel doesn’t shoot up & out of fitting when removing air line). Using compressed...

WOW even the tires look great! Congrats! Maybe try some Seafoam & 2-stroke oil in the fuel to smooth out injectors? Works for me…
