"Buyer loads" absolves them of loading if there is no forklift available as in "unmanned sites". My experience has been that most GL folks will assist to the best of their ability. I have even had them to ask military folks (if any are available) to jump start vehicles or help load something. As...

Joe....BIG CONGRATS on the newest little one. You, the wifey and kids are very welcome at the rally.

What about counter-balancing it with another ring mount over the drivers side? I know you could only fire it standing still but twin 50's would be bad-azzed to the max.

You may be losing prime when the truck sits for a while......my deuce does the same thing. It usually takes two or three cranks to start it after sitting a while. Unless it takes a lot of cranking (to the point of getting the starter hot and draining the batteries) you are prob all right.

I think it was the width of the bed that made it over width...not the tires. There was a bridge unit near my unit at Ft Benning......I drooled over those trucks all the time.:drool: :drool:

Are your rims FUBAR or are just the tires. You could put wider civilian tires on the stock rims (just dont go too wide). Why do you think you need wider tires? I have pulled some heavy loads in a M105 and never had issues. A wider tire is not going to prevent a rollover if you get...

Your space has been reserved at the GA Rally this October. A steak dinner (out of the MKT) is on me if you can make it.

For anyone interested in building their own M1 Abrams I have some brand new bustle racks for 75 bucks each.......or you could make a very nice over the cab storage rack (think Canadian deuces) for your deuce or 5 ton. PM for details.

I deny everything and demand proof. :wink: :wink: :wink:

This is how misunderstandings (and black eyes) occur using certain words that sound alike but mean different things: Bystander is inspecting a M816 which is being serviced by an rather large female mechanic. Bystander remarks......."look at the big azzed winch on that wrecker"...

Whether you flat tow it or piggy back it you will still need to hook up air lines and lights. Piggy backing will have less rolling resistance and put weight on the rear of the towing vehicle for braking purposes. If you piggy back you will not have to disconnect the front drive shaft if you...

Winch=big reel mounted on your front bumper. Wench=archaic term for a member of the female sex. While it is possible to winch a wench out of a ditch, you can't wench a winch out of a ditch. Not busting your chops but you do see the ramifications of misunderstandings...right?roflrofl And I...

Yep.....get some plumbers sanding cloth...comes in rolls......makes it easy to go round and round the spindle.

"I'd rather have a German division in front of me than a French devision behind me".....attributed to George S. Patton

I would drop that Cat idea like a bad habit....any engine painted yaller is going to cost big bucks to buy and to repair when it breaks. My choice would be a 60 series Detroit.....just a Cat painted green and cheaper to buy and maintain. Speed is not going to be a factor because that truck is...

Hummmmmm......Northeast Alabama, spring weather, historical site, beautiful canyon to convoy through or New Jersey. Guess I'll have to pass on Jersey.

Most GL locations will work with you on pickups if you have a decent attitude. A lot depends on how much stuff they move through a particular site and how much help they have. A lot of active duty military bases require you to be escorted to the GL location if you dont have a military ID...

David Doyle is our resident expert on many classes of MV's, he is also editor of MVPA's "Supply Line" magazine. He has written many books on MV's and often attends MVPA and SS events. If you are a book person I would recommend them to help identify MV's. They are available at many of the big...

The reason nothing can be foolproof is due to Mother Nature's inherent ability to constantly upgrade the common fool.aua

Let us know how that works out for ya.roflrofl
