I just ran it under the truck......kept it as high as possible and ran it under the transfer case. Yo would have to get into some serious do-do to damage it.

If you erect the frame that comes with the outfit is is a PITA....if you keep the leaf blower handy you don't need the frame.....I scrapped the frame and most of the other stuff in the trailer. It took about 30-40 man hours to completly render it down to it's basic parts. The shelter is the best...

It prob wont work on a stock bed unless you want to move the whole bed back. I bought that flatbed from a buddy of mine...it was 8x8...just the right size for my bobber. If I remember correctly I set the bed back from the cab about 6 inches (the pipe is 2 1/4 OD) to have some wiggle room. I...

If you want to replicate the whole nine yards (machinery and prime movers) I know where there are two 123's that can prob be had by weight (they are owned by a scrap dealer). One is in decent shape, the other is prob a parts truck but they both still have the winches. The sheet metal is pretty...

The fifth wheel on the 911 had a bigger kingpin than civilain tractors. To use one commercially you had to swith to a smaller one. I have seen them used as house movers. One of the main issues is their size and weight. Another is they are gear bound....slow on the road compared to a commerical...

I have one in great shape....unless you want it sooner I'll load it with the other stuff I am hauling over there.

If yours has the inflatable shelter and it is in good shape you have one of the best hooches in the world. You can inflate it with a good leaf blower in about ten minutes......it will start to sag slightly as the air cools so you need to have the blower standing by......a comparable civy shelter...

check this I would drop that Rube Goldberg outfit like a hot rock. Get you a stock J-pipe, stack (and a muffler if you want it quieter) and flex pipe and run the exhaust like it was originally designed. Or do like I did on my bobber.....get you a couple of HUMVEE fording exhaust pipes, some...

A lot of M151's were used on ranges as static props (at Fort McClellan the MP trainees used them to practice doing accident reports {before they moved the MP school to Fort Lost in the Woods}). I have been on map reading courses and found them rusting in place out in the woods. Usually...

Since I am plucking this chicken (ya'll just stand back and watch the feathers fly) I am going to make a command decsion. Meals will be on a per meal "suggested donation" basis depending on main course. I think we will be able to do breakfast for 2-3 bucks (hotcakes and bacon/sausage....if you...

Hummmmmmm...Bambi burger Sloppy Joes......yea that'll teach em' to run out in front of a deuce.

If it walks, talks, sqawks, swims, flaps or flies we will cook it and serve it. My neighbor raises catfish and Tilapia...I am trying to horse trade for enough for a meal. Catfish, hushpuppies, fries and slaw....MMMM MMMM MMMMMMM And to wash it down....Wreckerman's infamous sweet (so sweet...

NDT....there was a M915 at the MVPA convention this year that had AC and very nice air ride seats...he was pulling a lowbow with two armored vehicles on it. He said the AC was an easy add-on as were the seats. It had the Cat 15 speed semi-auto in it (mine has the Allison). He had a very nice...

I reccomend Shell Rotella in the proper weight for your climate....cost a little more but engines are expensive.

I had insurance on my M54 with Progressive...had it tagged as a farm truck...a little over 600 bucks per year. I am getting a quote on the M915 tomorrow but I got a feeling I prob won't like the rate.

Doghead and Mangus....I am going to say this and then I will refrain from further comment (unless I feel the need to defend my good name and honor). Me and Bama Lady had a private coversation via PM (this was last year on the old forum)...the next day an (for now) un-named member made a very...

Jon is my friend and is a good guy...that being said he is a person and has issues as we all do. Some times these issues cause us to act out in different ways. I'm not trying to excuse his actions but there seems to be some amount of zealotry among a few moderators. We all have positions we are...

NDT, I can't help with the part number but I wanted to touch base with you since I am now a member of the 915 club. I drove them and 916's in the Army.....a while back but you never forget. Mine has one of the air tanks removed (still have it, it was rusted from the inside out) and I am...

Glad you had a good experience at Columbus.....was it at Creekside???? The last time I was there by the time I got loaded out I was looking for a tall tree and a short piece of rope. That place was ate up with the DUMAS. Maybe they have changed management and the way they do business.
