Maybe look into recentering and changing back spacing on the combat wheels will be a valid idea

Interesting indeed.

Ahhhh roger that thanks. I cant even begin to say how many i saw crushed and scrapped because they were in the way all the time.

So the original hood was just beat to **** then? I have moved them around before and i know they arent light by any means i cant imagine tryin to place it and bolt ot without the skid steer or hoist.

Yeah google gov sam brownback. Its contract year at work so we shall see what the future holds. I love michigan but waaaay too many democraps. Maybe tx or arizona. We cant even get a decent winter storm, cold and dreary but no snow. Summer is just hot and ungodly humid.

Hopefully beat that by a fair amount.

I longingly looked out the window at the 925 sitting there plugged in covered in ice. I have been working 7 day weeks at work to help pass the time in the winter and i have decided if my job here ever goes away i will be out of this **** state as fast as possible. I think after 30 years i have...

I would just chain the front axle so it cant turn like a hay wagon. It would be fairly easy to do, for short term. Long term i would just installed a lock pin on the front that when the front axle is straight you drop a pin through a hole in the deck or neck into the sterring of the trailer...

Welcome from topeka ks. Nice welding for sure.

I wouldnt see why you couldnt. Only issue i could think of would be volume of fluid with all the lines and valves. That said if you are isolating each application that would be a moot point.

^^^^. Is a bed going on her too? Id love to find a nice boom like that but im just too cheap

I just run a 50/50 mix of prestone. Havent had any issues yet.

Is it the rope light thats so good in the cab?

No kidding the bracing work must be working well to hold it that way. Never questioned the fab work sir, just the hardware. I see you posted you used grade 8 then that a big improvement. Remember pulling a heavy trailer 1 time with fresh hardware is one thing. 5-10-15 years down the road...

It has a block heater recently installed when i flushed the coolant and did the thermostat and added the coolant filter. I checked all hoses and they are tight. It really looks like it just came out of the oil cooler up on top but now its gone so maybe it boiled out with the heater or it...

Its a GM 8 bolt on 6.5 spacing wheel. There are literally MILLIONS out there. Very easy to find. As long as they are pre 2011 gm it will fit fine. 16.5 will greatly reduce your tire selection. KISS and get the GM wheel. Dodges are the same 8 on 6.5 also up to 2010 i believe.

Well i guess the general fixed its leak. It started right up sounded great and not a drop of coolant. Maybe the block heater boilded it over while plugged in over night?

Sorry for the derail then i guess of i was the guilty party. Maybe i missed somthing?

So im pretty oblivious here but how much harder does this blow than the oe unit? I know on high mine is about as powerful as a gerbil fart.

Lol these were sunglasses with extra lens taped around the edges. But i can tell you his welds held for 7 months before mortar rounds left that truck fubar and retired to the caniblize yard. Sorry to derail you humvee guys thread, i just found that armoring interesting lol.
