I have been dealing mainly with OK GL sights and they seem to be very skilled with the fork lifts and really go the extra mile to help out.
Sad to hear I may not get the same service from Hooks.:(
I have plenty of options to remove it from the truck on my end, but i am limited to what they have at GL to load it on their end. Last time I picked up something at Hooks, TX they had a forklift, so before I make the 3.5 hour drive, I wanted to make sure they have a way of loading it in my...
What if I bring a Pallet with me and we set it on the pallet first. I could even secure it to the pallet with straps. Then the forklift could load it long ways in the 4'x 6' bed.
My only concern is balance point vs. length of the forks on the lift. I figure worst case it will be 30 inches...
Easy to post them yourself. They load directly onto the site vs. using photobucket or equivalent type hosting site.

Dang, I looked through several TMs and missed any specific torque values after a considerable time searching. I found the catch all page of torques which gave me the torque specs that I used.
Thanks for the correction.
What is the length and width of a MEP 002A with ASK box?
I want to know if a fork lift can place it in the back of my stepside pickup bed which is about 48" wide.
Studs are clean, I pressure washed the entire knuckle before remounting on the front axle.
Do these nuts have a specific torque rating that I missed (i.e., do not use the generic torque value of 49 ft*lb listed in the TM), or is this based off of personal experience?
I know when I...
I just pulled off my front hub to replace seals and repack everything including some new boots.
I am torquing everything to spec, and was putting on the 12 nuts and new lock washers that hold the spindle to the steering knuckle and ended up stripping one of the nuts and another feels like it...
There is also a few threads that show you how to do a temporary fix to recover the vehicle by welding a bar across the end to keep it from coming out of the rubber bushing. Another member also tapped threads in the center and screwed in a piece of plate on a good joint as a safety to prevent it...
I believe you are taking about the ones made by Mastercraft? If so, I have been told you can order them with the military skins from any shop that carries the brand and Mastercraft will put the military covers on them instead of the normal covers.
I was looking into doing this in the hope of...
I like the idea.
Are there Any flexing issues at the two mounting points?
What size/weight shocks did you use?
Oh, and what is the orange cylinder on the fire wall (just curious, I have several mounting holes at that location on my truck but what ever was there has been removed. :))
Someone mentioned that a seal or something my be affected over time if left held out like that.
I have no idea of the design of the IP in that area, and love the simplicity of your design.
I came with spare everything when I picked up my M35A2C for a 189 mile trip back home. Ended up having to change the batteries, and repair the brakes, no other issues.
I'm now going over my truck from top to bottom changing all fluids and checking everything. So far I have discovered one of...
