    Big Bend NP Get Together?

    If this wasn't so dang far. I love the idea of big bend, but I need it to be about 10 hours closer. And I need two trucks a truck and a support truck. Hopefully not, but best to be prepared. Last time i did a two truck road trip, we almost made it 20 miles before one of us broke down!

    I curse you. I was perfectly happy with my slow little engine until you came along and showed me the light.

    ROLL CALL: "West Texas Detachment" Identify Yourselves, Please.

    The Pease River Breaks are a stark contrast to the flat farm land that you experience driving down 287 between Dallas and the West. It goes from flat to canyon, in a very short distance. For a cell phone panorama while sitting in a blind, it's not too bad. But it seriously does not do it...

    ROLL CALL: "West Texas Detachment" Identify Yourselves, Please.

    You are correct sir. Cynthia Parker was kidnapped as a child, married a chief I believe, had three kids, Quanah Parker being one of them. We bought a ranch down on the Pease River about 15 years ago. Ironically, Cynthia Ann Parker was recovered in the Battle of the Pease River (or some name...

    ROLL CALL: "West Texas Detachment" Identify Yourselves, Please.

    We might have some mutual friends. The Game Wardens in Hardeman and Wilbarger are friends of mine. I know it's not next door, and Childress Warden seems to handle stuff west of the Hardeman co line. But, you never know. My ranch is in the SW corner of Hardeman Co, down on the Pease River.

    ROLL CALL: "West Texas Detachment" Identify Yourselves, Please.

    I should sign up as well, I run the route from Frisco TX to Quanah TX (79252) occasionally with one of the two M923A2's and often with an M1101 behind the pickup. I could make it to San Angelo for a parade. That's not too far, and I like that part of TX for some reason. Sign me up!

    M939 tire clearance?

    Do tell? (I know you know!) I don't know what the low psi range (sand) is. Do HEMTTs run beadlocks? I have found them in HEMTT rims tires I bought from you. Do they always run them? I try to soak up as much knowledge and info as I can from guys who have been at this longer than me. It's why...

    Gotcha! Id make millions if I knew how to make a humor and sarcasm font. And get the world to use it.

    M939 tire clearance?

    Hard to believe, but, possibly they expand outward a little? Hard to believe it's a significant amount. I was told by someone who really knows tires, that you can not air a 16.00 down below 60 and expect to not have a flat the next day. Said they need 80 to keep the beads seated. And that you...

    Come on, it's a joke dude! And I was responding to Davis, not you. And yes, I know what it is, please do not make me read the entire TM on the clearance light. (I'm sure the military made one). PS (that was a joke too!)

    Whatever dude. It's a dome light now. Im a trendsetter! Just watch ... the copycats are going, "Why didn't I think about that! it will become industry standard on all custom jobs from now on!

    M939 tire clearance?

    The 14 and 16 are easy. 14.00" from the rim (on each side, top and bottom) plus 20" rim = 48" add an inch of inflation (1/2" each side) and real height is 49" 16.00 are 16x2+20=52" + 1" inflation= 53" 395 is an aspect ratio I believe. I don't know that formula. But I do know how to google...

    M939 tire clearance?

    I believe they are 3" shorter? I forget. Someone posed a pic of 395, 14's and 16's. The difference just from one to the next was pretty big. A 395 next to a 16 is huge difference. Width and just overall size was an impressive difference.

    I found these cool interior dome lights on eBay. 24v and they even match the paint color! :razz: I wanted a red interior light, so it doesn't mess with your night sight. Plus, it looks wicked. So I swapped out the bulb with an LED that is brighter. I'll mount it center rear, with a switch on...
