Be advised that the LF tire looks like it has been flat for some time. If mine, I would rotate it to the rear or replace before taking on the highway. Otherwise, the wrecker looks like in good shape. I'd also recommend installing a valve on the suction side of the hydraulic tank in case of a...

For diesel fuel (a combustible liquid), you can carry containers with a combined volume of up to 119 gallons with no issues or special requirements. If you wanted, you could install a 100-110 gal DOT-approved transfer tank in the bed, and keep several drums of diesel stored at your home and one...

Hey, "buzzards got to eat, same as worms."

WOW! You do more with a crippled back than I could ever hope to even imagine doing. I get as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs just thinking about cutting a hole in a roof for an RV AC or maxfan. Great frame-up modifications.

Looks like a painful and expensive build so far! Hope it goes a little smoother in the future. These M101 trailers make great off-road capable campers.

Maybe. They interchange with my '86 Chevy CUCV just fine, but the CUCV and M101A2 wheels interfere with the brake calipers on the front of my 2001 Chev Express Van. The van wheels fit the M101a2 trailer with no problem. Backspace may be an issue depending on the tow vehicle.

That's a cool buy! You can use it in place of scaffolding, or a deer stand. GP spray painted the unit info on the doors, but left the Gov't license plates on!?! Someone slipped up big time.

9/16 x 18 studs

I lurked for 4 years before I bought my first truck and joined this circus. Welcome aboard, and if you don't watch out, that truck will start multiplying!

I had one that the linkage was frozen by rust. You had to go underneath, disconnect the linkage and manually shift from low to neutral to high with a prybar or soft hammer. Since I almost never needed low range, it really wasn't an issue. I actually started to bend the shift handle before I...

I'll probably be there in a CUCV + trailer or M925 + trailer. Historically, most folks have to head out early on Sun to return home, so a Sunday convoy and display may be iffy. For the park, I had to dig into the LA statutes to get the park rules. Pets, firearms and alcohol are allowed with...

"Tanks have been sent through the Channel Tunnel in a secret midnight training operation to prepare for war in Europe. ... The Ministry of Defense (MoD) tweeted a picture of a Challenger being strapped down at around midnight on Wednesday." Can't be too secret if the MoD is tweeting about it. :!:

IIRC, the Ford/Dodge/Chevy pre-metric 8-lug wheels used 9/16 x 18 lugs, and the 5-lug and 6-lug wheels used 1/2 x 20 lugs

You could use a jump cable from the F350 to boost one weak battery when starting, but unless you isolate the 5-ton batteries, you cannot use jumper cables to charge two 5-ton batteries from your two F350 batteries. You could get the F350 running, then disconnect the second battery (careful to...

[My M936 wrecker boom will swing over the cab, which would get it out of the way of a box trailer on a hitch, but I don't know if it will stay off the cab without the PTO engaged or some boom supports installed. ] EDIT - Never mind, Ron debunked this idea in the next post :-| I went with a...

Looks like a fun trip CA-AK is in your future! Nice truck.
