I don't think custom hitches for Deuces and 5-tons will ever be considered "beaten to death!" I like seeing the different designs, yours seems very well-built and looks fantastic. Be sure to post up pics of it in action with your dump trailer. Good job!

rofl Good one James!

LOL @ NormB! [thumbzup] But since many electrical easements are located on Fed-owned land (USFS, BLM, et al), you would need a grazing permit for the goats, not to mention environmental impact studies to be completed on the areas to be grazed...then the greenies would howl & wail over the water...

Looking good! You might want to consider adding two mudflap mounting brackets to the driver's side frame ahead of quarter fender; that way if you tow a trailer that sits a little closer than normal, and you have to remove your mudflaps, you can stow the them there instead of having to throw...

NAILED IT! Rusty, a centrifuge is an excellent way to remove water & other contaminants from UMO, as well as solids and other crap. There are all kinds of ways to make your own, youtube and the interwebs are loaded with home-made examples. I made one from an electric motor and used auto trans...

I was always told to use WD-40 for cold-weather starts...has the formulation been changed to prevent its effective use anymore?

I understand "doing a ton of research" and how even a substantial amount of hours doing this wouldn't cover answering the most basic information, if you're new to MVs; folks who were never in the military don't understand the relationship that the TMs have with related equipment, and how...

Since I didn't see it listed, have you tried the rapping on wood blocks placed against trans with a dead-blow hammer method? As in trying to tap it loose/out?

What's your MVPA membership number? That's what supports this forum, not the "prepper community." I know preppers well, many of them own complete sections near where I live now and are already asking for help with repairing/maintaining their former military "bugout vehicles." Simp5782 nailed...

Seafoam works wonders for me, especially on varnish-like coatings/deposits in fuel system. Available at any auto parts store and even some walmarts.

Profo's truck rocks; it is beautifully done, and very impressive. That's me in the camo coveralls....I've only been inside it, haven't gotten to travel in it like Simp.

Nobody is pointing fingers at you for doing what you believed needed to be done, with what you had on hand. There are a lot of misconceptions about these trucks' ability to operate in deep water, but it can be done with some proper prep beforehand. - Now that you've found and hopefully...

Jim & Donna are great folks; I'm glad that everything worked out well for your recovery. I heard that William & Roger had a fun time bringing your 989 down to Kingman. I remember one time Jim called me & I told him I couldn't talk, I was struggling with something outside in the summer...

I also neglected to mention Big Mike's Motorpool; he's on your side of the country. Excellent customer service and has been known to locate some hard-to-find bits before.

Wes nails it. If you insist on removing the center bolt holding the spring pack together, be sure to clamp the leaf springs first...each spring is heavy & has a guidance system built in for your toes/feet/ankles. They are unwieldy at best once the center bolt is removed. Take a good look at...

Are all the hoses old enough to start dry-rotting/cracking and causing the leaks? If you live in a dry area and have never changed any of the hoses, now might be the time... With no pics and no further description to go on, just trying to eliminate the (potentially) obvious....

Nice score, looks great! Not an easy truck to start OD Fever with, my hat's off to you both. For M-series general use items, try Erik's Military & Industrial Surplus. Great guy to deal with. Also consider Eastern Surplus; they're an advertiser here and they also should have stocks of...

I know of a M989A1 ammo trailer sitting in Kingman AZ that needs to go to GA... rofl

If the fossil fuels run out, how do the bombs get delivered to targets? Sorry couldn't resist.... :mrgreen: To get back on topic, I think you're doing a fantastic job with your LDS, I've subscribed to this thread and rated it 5-Stars. Thank you for posting up all of your observations and...

Those beadlock insert are fairly easy to install, and they make seating the beads & airing up 16.00s a LOT easier. It's worth it to install them.
