One way to do it in the field is to take the cheater bar and rest it against the ground then drive the truck in the direction needed to break them loose. ( I would do that as a last resort)

It can be done and there is a drawing and demos showing how. Let me switch to my lap top and see if I can find them I cant find the threads that discuss it but heres a pic from one of the field manuals that show it. (fm 20-22 I think) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_4tI3HtgdCY *edit*. It's...

You would be 100% wrong then. It's a 105 or one of those versions. Can't tell if it has a tailgate on the front of the box as well ( 103 or 104, I can't remember) but the side racks are tall and the frame sits way to high on the tire to be a 101

It was in the middle of a rebuild when it got " surplused" out. If I thought I could get it home and put back together I'd take a shot at it. I have a lot of top soil I need scraped of the lower part of my propery and brought up to the house to build my yard up.

"Open mouth insert foot" i dont know know what I was thinking when I posted that. I completely mis-read the original post and missed the part about wanting to travel once he has the time. I don't believe the trucks are forbidden from leaving the country, just can't sell it out side of the...

not necessarily. Could have had a problem with the main schute that slowed it down just enough to keep it from burning in. If it was strapped to a pallet with a healthy amount of cardboard underneath the fiberglass could survive. Looking at at the pic again though it does look like just the...

Couple of question...... Why Idaho? From the sounds of it you do not live nor plan to live in Idaho then why not register it in the state you live in? Unless you plan on living in Canada (crossing borders part) then why not just go through the process of registering it there? Or are you just...

Hmmmm, seems counter-productive to the whole point of having a three lever light switch in a military vehicle in the first place. ( light discipline)

Is the three lever switch in the proper position?

Does it interfere with opening the hood?

rofl Been driving doorless Jeeps since highschool, both belted and un belted (in the early years) on and quite hard off road at time and not once did I ever feel like I was going to fall out.

That's a good point about the adjusting pins being 3/4". That leads one to ask why the different size in feet at all on the trucks, after all if they just used 3/4" on all the trucks that would reduce the number of different part numbers in the inventory. but then this popped into my mind while...

What are you towing with it? I would be careful towing anything large that required 1" pins. Im no engineer but I wonder how much strength your losing by down sizing the pins?

Ah. Yep old style split ring HMTT wheels. If the wheel is assembled correctly and the ring seated properly they are safe. It's the breaking down and re-inflating part that you have to be careful of. The newer style wheel (2 piece) are the tubeless style. There were tons and tons (...

So you want to reply with a snarky comment about how you don't like all the little snarky comments on this site. Nice This "community" is not for the thin skinned. No one is trying to make you look dumb, they are just asking simple questions. None of us here personally know you or your level...

:ditto: If they have a ring they are not HMTT rims. HMTT wheels are way more robust than any aftermarket wheel out there

A tow bar

Wow, that was a good truck when I had it then bobbed it but I would have never dared to take it on a 1200 mile road trip. Glad to see it made it with relatively small problems.

I meant overall width. If I remember correctly ( quite possible I'm wrong) but aren't the bridge trucks and m-123 over width "on road" when dualed? Leaf springs are fine when bobbed ( I even built one that way ) but with tandem axles I think you'd be losing a lot of articulation ( hanging one of...
