When I was at Fort Benning we had to go out and clear Kilo Impact Area after the Spectre gunships worked out.
I saw some exploded deuces and all their components spread out over a couple of acres.:shock:
Your tax dollars at work.:roll:
Yep...especially if they are hooked to a big busted, oversexed redhead.:mrgreen:rofl
The tough repop will be the ring mech itself.......I think they are cast and then machined...takes a big piece of equipment to do that.
Years ago Ford Class 8 tractors had an air bag suspension for their (cabover) cab. One bag on each corner.
I never drove one but the drivers that did said they would scare the crap out of you in a turn because it felt like the truck was rolling over.
Don't know if an air bag suspension would...
Friday is steak night if I run over a cow on the way to the rally.
If he can make it to the rally chow is on the house.
He is living military history and I would be proud to meet him.
They are a common thread.....that is why I have a big tub of misc screws...so I can pour them out on the floor and hunt through them until I find what I need.
Zack,
Welcome to the site.....most of your questions can be answered using the SEARCH feature at the top of the page.
Not trying to be a butt ......it just saves a lot of reposting about your questions.
My personal opinion about the CUCV's and other civy vehicles that were militarized is...
Do the rims appear to be military??? Green or tan paint on them??
If you are asking if you can mix radials and NDT's the short answer is that it is not a good idea.
If you are asking about using two different type (not size) rims that would be ok as long as all the tires are all radial or...
As much as I loved "Jessica" (the 915 in question) I had the same issue.....even with farm tags and insurance (limiting me to in-state operation only) my overhead was about $1500.00 a year and I could not recoup it just picking up stuff for folks at Redstone and Annistion.
Since most of my...

That had to be one of those "Hold my beer and watch this" moments.
My harebrained scheme of the week is to buy two of those 10,000 gallon fuel bladders...lash them on each side of a duece.....inflate them and see if I can make an improvised DUKW.
When I was at...
The longer I live the more I believe that the intelligence is being bred out of the human race at an alarming rate.
My favorite example:
On the label of a jar of peanut butter: WARNING! Contains peanuts!!
YA THINK??? :doh::doh:
Does a cat have a climbing gear???
Does the untamed bruin defecate in the wiilderness???
I am bringing several cast iron skillets to make real cornbread. It will be made with bacon grease from the breakfast bacon so bring your Lipitor.
There is no such thing as sweet cornbread.....there is...
It is the GL soldiers out in the trenches that make buying from them tolerable.
With one minor exception (Lockborne, OH) I have never had an issue with anyone at a site where I have picked up. Most will go above and beyond to help you get your stuff.
I have found that a lot of times it is...
Man.......how cool would a telephone system be a the GA rally?????
I guess the downside would be that you would need the phones, wire and an operator to manually connect the parties.
As long as you have a souce of air from the tractor when you push the brake pedal (air lines with glad hands that you can hook to the trailer), you should be able to actuate the trailer brakes.
The issue is how much air reserve you have if you have to brake on a long downhill grade.
