Were you able to air the tires? or did you have to change one or two? Great looking truck! Doing a recovery sometimes seems like a National Geograhpic adventure.

Mike, you are lucky man. Your wife seems to be much more benevolent on this stuff than mine. One thing nice about the smaller vehicles is you can tuck one in and no one notices and extra.

Were you able to drive it home or was it a tow? Neat truck, that is what I will be looking for next, I think. Just have to figure out where to park it. :) And I guess, which house I will live at after my wife gives me the boot.

Coug. Saw one of your cohort M925's headed southbound I-5 about 1200 today. Great looking truck. How did your truck rescue go?

Any chance they could put a PNW rally note on here for those of us that aren't facebook oriented?

That is an interesting build on the 932. Nice looking truck. Did you make them get out and hook their own strap or did someone do it for them?

So how did that plow work? Nice looking Desert 925

It is funny about those sticks that we have gone from protecting ourselves against a tyrannical government to only needing 5 rounds to hunt with. Guess I need to make another trip to Brad's. Looks like I have a broken hood hinge. And it looks like the spring loaded keeper bolt on the exaust...

Mike, safety tip - watch the tailgates on the 5 tons. I tried mine on the shoulder today, unexpectedly! Arm is sore this evening and am wondering if it will move in the morning. Other than that, I installed one of the tailgate steps on the front bumper to be able to get to the hood a little...

Hopefully a little air and your problem will be solved. Do they have any air available there or do you have to take your own? I have been thinking it might be nice to have a truck the is 15 to 20 years newer than what I have, but I don't use it much and mine seems to be running okay.

Mike, PS you said something about the weight factor. I think they are both rated to carry about 20,000 pounds. Don't think you will have much trouble which ever one you want to put it on. :D

Glad I didn't bid you up on that one. Was looking hard at the 925's, but I don't need another truck really either. Keep us posted if you need a bit of recovery help. I think that was the one with the two low rear tires. Hope they just need air. P

Here are a few photos from last nights lighted Christmas parade in Centralia. There were 5 MV's in attendance including 2 NG trucks, a Hemmet and an LMTV, 3 civilian rigs, 2 WW2 jeeps and the 68 M54.

Watch the sparks! I was cutting some rebar one day and started sniffing, thinking, smells like something is on fire. So I am looking around and finally look down and I am the one on fire. That is what happens when you wear new jeans to work. The steel and concrete blades are available...

Neat cutoff saw. That was a good price. I personally like the Stihl version better, but that is a heck of a tool to have in your arsenal. Did you get extra blades? They make blades for metal cutting and concrete, plus you could buy a diamond tipped concrete blade as well. And if you had a...

Do you have your bid in on that Hemmett? Was the Robo tool a CL find. That is a great looking set and now you have given me something else to look for. Have you tried it on a lug nut yet?

ordered mine from a parts supplier in Tennesee. Any good hydraulic shop or farm implement store should be able to fix you up.

When I got the M54, the PTO was busted off the transmission. The shaft was still in place, but they managed to lose the yoke as well when they wired the shaft pointing down and drove off. When I took the shaft off the winch, there was a grade 8 bolt in place of the shear pin. Probably would...

Way to go Mike! I found a tough shape hard top. Bought it off the guys scrap pile to get the weather stripping that goes over the passenger side window. have that part off, cleaned up and painted, picked up some stainless steel bolts for the reinstall, and hope to get it on tomorrow...

Drove the M54A2C around this summer for a couple of months with the hard top off. It was great. Also gave a chance to really see what the engine was doing and RPM ranges for excess smoke. Didn't think to take a picture when it was down. Also got the windshield to go down. That took two guys...
