Any update?

I know EXACTLY what you mean. There are many others like it, this one is mine

Oh yes. I had a wish list for it before it was home 😆

Oh man...... Now it's practical............time to study some TMs.....

Ok......but.......if you put one of those wild looking square track systems around the wings and used a small (at least 4cyl?) Engine to drive the ring gear and tied it all together, so long as it's an open diff, not locked, it would go down the road....... And if you used the right drive system...

Hello all, had an idea for storage and filtering, wanna run it by some of you first before i get too carried away. I plan on cleaning out a 90gal marine gas tank and using it as my own fuel fill station, filling it with wmo and atf, and mixing that mixture 75/25 waste fuel to pump diesel. I have...

That would explain why the forward battery needed replacement, well that and it was a 7 year old everstart that was too small for the truck to begin with (750cca and 850@32°). Definitely getting an equalizer before I put brand new batteries in, but for now there's higher priority items. Thanks...

Update: charged one of the batteries for 12.5 hrs, discarded the second one and replaced it with an old napa I had, hooked everything back up, cranked and about unhinged my jaw from smiling so hard. After sitting in the "cold" for a week, 5 cranks and she fired. Runs great, smokes a little white...

I chose a 1969 M35A2 as my first MV and looking at everything I've read and what I've done to it so far, they are excellent firsts. Simple, straightforward and overall pretty cheap to maintain in comparison.

If you crank it with your foot on the throttle, does it change anything? Or if you pull the throttle lock, say, 3-5 clicks out? Seems like crud would have worked it's way through by now, to me it sounds like either low compression or throttle cable misadjustment. Can't hurt to try at this point

I don't mean to be "that guy", but why hide a beautiful piece of history like that? I mean, it's a truck, it's not going to bite anyone. If you feel you must and money isn't an issue have it painted like a Monaco, or Winnebago or whatever's popular out/around there, essentially hide it in plain...

So far, everything "aftermarket" on my truck is marine and works wonderfully. Alternator, 2 wiring panels, aluminized wires, everything. I can only speak for my m35, but a lot of the systems on it are very similar in design to a marine layout, and just about everything on it is ip67 compliant...

Hello all, thinking about doing wheels and tires this spring, thought about the mrap wheels but I want to keep the duals. I found a couple build your own kits, but I'm nowhere near skilled enough with a welder. Are there some hidden wheel sites that I'm missing, or are my options that limited?

This is what I'll be running for auxillary switches. Each little button is a circuit breaker for each switch, they are 12/24v capable, marine rated, and illuminated. I can't recall the manufacturer atm but as soon as I look at it again I'll let you know

just a couple pics of my box setup. Glad I've got you guys, the system is way more intimidating than intensive, but then from what I've read the entire truck is. Cleaned up the wires too, no more 12v trailer lights half rigged in with a fuse..... Thank you everyone for the help

Welcome to the site, love the truck!

Thank you, I'll be digging through my battery collection and see what I come up with. Hypothetically though if I ran a 1010cca first in series and a 980 second, would that balance until I get an equalizer?

Thank you! It's funny, because the kids like it when it goes toot toot and the parents like it when it goes braap braap. Everyone wins!

Oh, it can, see I have a hidden advantage: Wife is hooked too 😁

Greetings all! Now that I'm familiar with the site a little more time for some pics!!! More to come
