    M123 and M125 10-tons

    I had a 123 and when folks say they are not for the faint of heart they mean it. The trucks are very LARGE and with duals on they are to wide to be legal on the roads. Mine had the 300 Cummins V-8 engine in it. You will see them once in awhile around for sale and on a few of them the...

    MOGFEST in the midwest

    Does the KAMO rally have an area that would be challenging to drive around in, like a nearby gravel pit or something? Is the KAMO rally just a regular little to no driving show? Sorry for dumb questions I have not attended before? If we had and area that would allow us to do what our Unimogs...

    That is a pretty darn good looking Deuce you got! The wheel cylinder is nothing (Unless your driving in traffic when it goes away) they are inexpensive and very easy to install. Since almost none of us know what the last few years of our trucks lives where before WE got them I would also...
