Hey guys this sounds pretty interesting like was said if we could find a place to trail ride a little that would be a huge bonus!! I would be coming over from Fargo with a 925A1 and would plan on sleeping in the bed of the truck. Please post up dates etc. so we can make plans on this end and...
Hey guys I am in need of some suggested points of interest TO ME! I need to take the wife on a trip to somewhere warm this winter and she wants to go to phoenix/Scottsdale AZ, I am fine with that and it will be kind of nice to get out of -20 for a bit! Do you guys have any good...
Nick02 I give you a congrats for handling that situation in the manner that you did. We all drive our trucks expecting the best and hopefully prepared for the worst although your situation could have been worse it was still a dead on the road truck, which stinks! Your good even mindedness got...
Bigmike that looks like an interesting project, I got a Unimog with a MG3 mount and gun on it and a newer LWS on my 925A1 setup for an M2, and your right I have not seen a complete M66 mount in some time, keep us posted on your project, it looks like your well on your way!

I have all the powder coating equipment to do about 80% of what i need to do and there is truly a world of coatings out there for different applications, the ceramic coatings done correctly will work very well on the exhaust manifolds, we did a set of headers on an alcohol fueled drag car and 5...
I dont know a lot about these vehicles but if it starts good but runs like crap or stops running when the engine gets warm it could also be a coil, when they get hot and are going bad this is a lot of times what happens. Let the truck sit for an hour and let things cool off and it will start...
The truck looks great and as being a perfectionist on my own deuce restoration I know how much work you have put into it, and it a very large amount of hours and showers before bed and OD paint washing down the drain from all the scraping that was done that evening. The result is you now have a...
bebyb the pinion seal leak is another one of those items that if its not to bad can wait till Spring, keep the diff up to level and you will be fine. Read up on the TMs before you tack this one though and make sure that you have a very good seal puller to get the old one out, then I did the...
Congrats on the new truck Rkrug! I got my 939 series truck from Glen also he is a great fellow to work with! As far as the batts go my truck had what looked like 4 brand new batteries in it when I got the truck and they worked fine for about 2 weeks then problems started happening, I finally...
As doghead stated ALL of this needs to be done BEFORE the problems start, once the issues get to far along your done driving and looking for a tow! In any type if winter driving with a diesel engine you need to have good clean filters, you will likely need some type of winter front or at least...
When ever I start a Multi that has been sitting over the winter I always pull the mushroom cap and have a piece of plywood on the passenger fender ready to put over the air intake tube! Its never happened but I have read about it enough times that is is always in my mind on the first start of...
That little CAT has trouble starting at 40 degrees? If it were only one of us I would think engine problem but obviously its more than just one? Like was said earlier use the CAN very carefully because lots of very unpleasant things can happen, the best case scenario in using the can is that...
After you get all your information and get everything put together in your kit and have a full set up TMs under you arm and all the hassle of pickup is done dont forget another important factor in your recovery!!! Have fun and relax, if you have problems you will figure them out and they will...
Stefan congrats on the new to you 1078, great trucks BUT with that said arent you supposed to be driving a UNIMOG?? OK its ok I just love Unimogs!

Troy if somebody needs it for their application it should be no problem to cut a hole for the intake tube! And your check went out so its in the mail. NO really it is Troy!! I promise

I dont know much about these trucks besides what I have read about them in the past but since I saw my first picture of one I have alwasy thought they were one really neat and interesting piece of equipment and it looks like you got an exremely nice example! I dont know anything about parts...
