When I looked into selling insurance last, all you needed was a state certification and to be signed to a licensed agent to practice underwriting. This was also 10 years ago. I'm with you, between insurance and the DMV, getting them down the road is harder than the actual maintenance to get them...

So buy brake cleaner by the barrel. Noted 😃

Just saw this reply..... 😬, the wires for 12v go to a panel with it's own on off switch, so yes it will still send power, but only on demand, and only for emergencies. I will get a picture up of them installed though. As for the placement of the interrupt switch, I wasn't confident at first but...

Finished starting her bunkhouse the other night, gonna dive into tags and numbers and see what history I can find before deciding what maintenance to perform next. Til next time!

I don't have experience with that vehicle in particular, but I made a similar trip with similar supplies, the only thing I missed was an infrared thermometer for checking hub/wheel temps. Other than that, sounds like a solid plan and looks like a really nice truck.

Cheeeeeeeeeap. Glad nobody was hurt.

I'll nominate myself, why not. A few of you know my rig specs by now but for those that don't, almost a month ago I took the plunge on my first MV, and refuse to go back. This is a 1969 Kaiser Jeep M35A2 W/W, Hercules engine, C turbo, Factory Hardtop with heat. Speedo stopped working God knows...

It has come to my attention that some Isuzu trucks have one piece wheels with the same bolt pattern, budd style studs. The 22.5 offers a 5k load rating. Food for thought

From what I see they are either 6 3/4 inches or 8 and 1/2 inches wide. This will probably be the route I go for my m35 if I can, I've been searching for a one piece rim solution for a while.

I know this post is kind of old, but there's a gear kit to go from 6.72 to 4.90. Rockwell has info on their site.

What kind of fuel economy do they get? I have read the 900s get around 7, curious if that's accurate. There are a lot more options for the m35s now than just old surplus. Delco alternators have been fitted to much success, hydraulic heads and injection pumps are now being rebuilt with success...

That would be such an awesome setup. Also I just read the 939 had the roomiest cab as well. For what it would cost though you could probably do the manual swap and have driveshafts made for the FMTV to handle the faster rotation. Then you have one off pieces on the truck and all the problems...

All true, and must be factored in. Parts availability is probably higher for the FMTV as well. I'm told A3 wheels on an A2 with the right tires eliminates a lot of those issues, I don't know yet because I'm brand new. If there's no reliable way to put a manual in an fmtv, an A2 on super singles...

Tidbit of info for newbies or anyone who doesn't know, our engines may not reach operating temp in cold weather, so how do you know if its warm enough to run safely? Well I can't speak for all of us, but my turbo unit told me. After sitting for a week, I went out, flipped the battery switch, did...

Does it have to be an LMTV? An M35A2 with service van body would make a nice rv, but won't go very fast. Then you have a manual and a 2 speed transfer case and an all fuel engine that only needs electricity to start and have gauges. Basically everything you want out of an LMTV on close to the...

Yeah.... If I tried wvo right now it'd probably solidify in the lines before it reached the HH, waaay too cold 😆. I'll have to pick up a hydrometer, and I like the idea of an added fuel cell on the truck itself, one for clean winter fuel and one for waste summer smokeshows. Now I just need...

I agree, but I had the ball hitch trailers long before I had the truck. It's a 20k Curt commercial, not a bad unit 😎

Awesome rig! Just in time to miss the blizzard 😆

Definitely will, thank you. Don't need things growing in my fuel tank.

Did it, loaded with around 6k on a ball hitch, in the snow. Absolutely phenomenal
