    currently running 1100 r 24. all around. these tires are taller than i expected them to be. next step for me is to go with tubeless tires and wheels. more choices and better tires. sorry for the typo above. that should have read 1100 r 24 not 1200 r 24.

    XM818A2w/w

    this one started life as a M820. moved the tandoms to the very rear of the frame, added a midship shaft and extended the fish plate frame. plus changed a few crossmembers for driveshaft clearance. then added the angle for the 5th wheel and ramps.

    Snow plow......specifics.....

    from the small amount of inquireing i did when looking for mounts for my M1009 -- i wasnt able to come up with anything availible. I kept hearing obsolete. I would think kits would be still on the shelf somewhere but i didnt find any.. Made my own.

    Brake drum removal, m37

    I have drilled the heads off the bolts just enough to get the drum off. drill them a little at a time to make sure you dont get into the drum. and then use heat and vise grips to remove the rest of the bolt. Its been a while since i have done this but i think i grabbed the part of the bolt...
