    Anybody know of BTR series vehicles for sale state side??

    I have difficulty obtaining something like that and I'm in the Eropean Union. I have been trying to get an MT-LB 6 or similar, (T54 recovery) but it it is very risky sending money to a foreighn dealer, as I know of people that have had really bad deals and even lost (all their) money.

    Gama Goat wheel bearing adjustment procedure?

    TM-2320-242-20 Has it. But the method above is good. I just tighten with wheel rotating forward gently but firmly, then ease back one locking tab.

    Another engine noise post

    Are you sure the "noise" is coming from the engine? as when the heat builds up the transmissions and shafts can start to whine or worse on steady throttle. If the engine is (more) noisy on slack running with no load on bearings etc, then (hopefully not!) that might be pointing to exessive wear...

    M923a2 off-road truck camper options

    As said before you are going to have to get used to slower cruise speeds. And in any case a steady speed maintained soon eats up the miles. Not all that big a deal if you are out to enjoy a trip. I would go for the 5 ton expandable van, (or one like in the post abave) and convert that to your...

    M1028 cucv no start glow plug

    You could look up How to bypass the control module (timer) and have it switch wired in the dash. You could then time it yourself, and keep it hot whilst cranking. As said do some research though, I have my F350 hard wired (NOT bypassed (so I control the activation sequence at the control module...

    So good to see another veteren vehicle getting the treatment, I used to have an M9A1 but boy was it expensive on tracks, especially on pavement. Took me 3 years to rebuild it.
