If you this route, Gas Buddy .com used to have a way to list stations that had pumps w/out ethanol. I haven't used Gas Buddy for some years so I don't know if they still list it separately, but there are likely other sites out there that do.

It may be off an M1076 trailer. I have 6 wheels like that. They are also 10r20 wheels and the offset is very close to center, but I think it's actually around 25. I have some for sale, though, atm not with adapter plates. The standard mrap adapter plate that you find on evilbay works.

My second tank isn't fully hooked up. I'm actually waiting to install my 3rd and maybe 4th tank and do them all at once. My plans are to keep them all separate from each other. This gives me the option of using different fuels also, if one tank gets holed (or that fuel line does) chances are...

Do the math in your head, it keeps you sharp!

To my memory every thread I've seen on an extended cab has been done by that OP. If you want to hire someone to do it, I'd expect it'd cost at least $10k, and probably closer to $20k.

Additional fuel tank or tool box is what I've seen.

I would prefer to stay with at least a 44" tire which is why I'm looking at 24.5 wheels. I also want to stay with a wheel that fits a somewhat common commercially available tire. The 22.5 x 6.75 tires range up to 39" or 40" diameter tire.

Finally found a good source, nearby for retreads, a plant about 60 miles away. However, I started thinking about the weight. Custom made 22.5 x 13 steel wheels are gonna weigh A LOT (there is no one in the US that makes an aluminum wheel that size as a blank and/or with 6 hole and wheels from...

Maybe....

Well, custom made wheels are not cheap. If you're not looking at super singles, there are still a few options out there. I have seen 22.5 wheels that are 7.5" and 6.75" wide. The 7.5" were made by Accuride, but are no longer part of their catalog so they can be hard to find. If affordable is...

I looked at going back to dualies, but decided to stick with super singles. One thing I came across in research is SS have less rolling resistance than dualies - better fuel mileage. As I'm outfitting this truck for long trips, that plays a role. Was also concerned about how dual tires do off...

I got a 5lb carbon dioxide extinguisher. A carbon dioxide extinguisher is designed for electrical/fuel fires, what I figured I'd likely get from the engine. Also, carbon dioxide will evaporate and if you intend to salvage the engine this is the way to go. The downside are they're so much more...

The only reason I didn't buy a M36 is I couldn't fit in the driveway with another one of my cars. I really need more land...I want HEMTT

It really comes in handy. On the driver's side I installed a 2-step boat ladder that collapses, fits under the plate and ties with a piece of velcro. It's really nice not worrying about where my shoes are, or if I need to move them and need to check that I don't step off - it's a long way...

Could this be your issue? https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m35a2-starter-relay-relocation.168247/

As to waiting for the right sale. I had found what I thought were good deals, even paid a mechanic in another city to do a mobile check on one truck. But the sellers were sketchy and the sale didn't feel right. Guy was willing to pick me up at the train station, then we'd drive to the middle...

Got my truck back from a mechanic today. Had them do some work that I couldn't do, and some work that I could but was too lazy to get to. I still have plenty of other work that needs doing that I will be doing, so I'm not completely lazy, just occasionally. So, I already installed a bumper...

Well, I don't know as much about the A3 as I do about the A2 (which still isn't much). So, are you more concerned about maintaining a stock look? Or do you want something that looks flashier? Will the knobby (like the Michelin XL look) 46" tires fit ok on the A3? There's a small gap for the...

How much do you drive, and where do you drive? The answer to this should play a role in what tire you plan on getting.

For what it's worth, a much larger tow truck, used for semi trailers is used for deuces. Towing isn't the only way to recover a vehicle though. A ten ton winch on another truck would probably do the trick to pull it out of something.
