RE: Tidewater Virginia Drive In!!! That could be fun. Daneil, do you want to call Ft. Eustis and see if they would let us come in as a group with our trucks? We could do some take-out at the park and then drive over to Eustis for some sightseeing. That's about 1.5 hours from here. How's the...

Calling all SS members who live in the Tidewater or Southside area of Virgina (Richmond, Petersburg and the Peninsula are fine too)!! Several of us have talked about having a drive-in, but we haven't managed to get it off of the ground. We just need to pick a date and a location. I would...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Keep up the good work on the M125. I can't believe you found another one. The only thing better than one 10-ton is two!

Welcome and congrats on your win. That looked like a nice truck. I saw a winch truck in OH go for around $10-11k. There's not a lot out there, but they seem to be coming out in greater numbers recently.

You suck! Now I've said it :D Just kidding, Jason. Sweet truck!!

Yeah, who needs the family jewels anyways, right? :D I think if you keep bidding that, you will end up with one! Just don't tell Kenny or Clinto ;)

Not bad if you batter dip it and deep fry it. :lol:

I recently told a SS member in a post that there is no way you going to get a cheap M35A3 on GL right now. Looks like there are some deals to be found though. This one sold for $6550: http://web.govliquidation.com/auction/view_photo?eventId=3497&lotNumber=8600&picNumber=1 If it wasn't in...

I'm not sure what a good price is, but Winslow has some boxes for the 809's and 939's. I bought a 939 box from him a while back. The biggest problem with the boxes is moisture intrusion around the seams and of course, vibration. I opened the one that died on my 923A2. It had 2 heavy duty...

Update: The NHC-250 is set up for a 939 truck, but could be used in a M809 truck by swapping out a few parts. Thanks guys.

I routinely pushed my 1009 to the limits on and off-road. Sometimes those limits were reached explosively! I started out with set of beefy MT 31" for off-road fun. It climbed like a goat with the Gov-Loc in the rear. Next, I went to a 2" SkyJacker lift and 33" Super Swamper. It really...

Yes. It looks like you would have to swap exhaust manifolds, fan brackets, and maybe a sensor or two from your existing 809-series engine and everything else should work. The manuals list both engines at 250 HP.

Thanks guys. I would like to see some pics of the 809 series engine. I remember the exhaust manifold now that you mention it. The 809 dumps straight down into the muffler. Well, Andy, my big truck project turned into a HUGE truck project. Turns out the truck was submerged in saltwater up...

RE: filter Hey Lee, I'm just curious if you ever got it changed out. It sounds like quite a job. I can't imagine having to shell out for 75-100 gallons of hydraulic oil. At least you could burn the old stuff that you took out in the deuce fuel tank, right?

Can anyone tell me the differences between the set up on the 2 styles of engine? I know the 939 trucks use an air operated fan clutch and there is a linkage on the IP for the TV cable on the automatic transmission. Is the oil cooler different? Any intake or exhaust manifold differences...

Hey guys, This is my teaser post for my classifieds :) Seven M939 super single rims: http://shortlinks.net/evb937 Rebuilt NHC-250 in a can: http://shortlinks.net/ppw535 M105A2 Trailer: http://shortlinks.net/jdf865 Cleaning house to buy a new toy.

I concur. It is great stuff!! They sell direct. http://www.kanolabs.com/

Nice job Rory! She's a beaut! Hope you get her on the road soon. Please keep us posted.

Man, that is too cool. I'm glad to see some wheeled armor showing up on SS!

The reason I ask is more for the trucks that come out every so often that GL isn't issuing a SF97 for. I was bidding on a M927A1 a while back and it was in the 6000 series auction that doesn't get a SF-97. I could go the VA DMV route, which entails paying for a DMV Special Agent to come to my...
