    My dad's new FMTV...

    The FMTV's are great in a garrison role,running errands,light duty stuff,but as Jay pointed out they dont have what it takes compared to the M35 or 900 series trucks.I know for a fact that when used as a gun truck they definately cannot take the punishment like the afore mentioned rigs can and...

    Michelin XL Tread Direction?

    I've always heard that the're a directional tire with the "V" flared to the rear of forward travel. Thats a reason the XZL's came on scene so to speak as they are a non-directional tire and may be rotated from side to side with no concern's.2cents

    Michelin XL's

    How readily available are the 14.50-20 XL's.Looking at the XL chart it looks like it might be a cool choice if you were to stay "single" so to speak.

    Michelin XL's

    Thanks! I have a chance at buying a truck that came from the military singled out in the rear with Goodyear 1100-20's street tread.I agree with the school of thought that they just look better dueled,but the trucks got air assist steering and very low miles,so I was considering doing something...
