Jones' eye for the details..... yeh, those were scans from a German magazine I picked up on vacation last summer....in Bavaria....this book has many excellent photos of all the up-armored softskins you can think of, from Humvees to M916's and everything in between....HEMMT's of course....many...

Mike, how about another subfolder in this category besides Humvees? Just thought this would be great place for all the FMTV's, as well as older deuces/five-tons/M916's/M1028's that are still in use in Iraq and Afghanistan etc..... ...my 2 cents....

What is the differnce what is it, like 4 or 6 hp? and the cool additional noise and whine.... I have to admit, I like your 'nam-style M35A2 with side pipes and non-turbo for ultra-quiet behavior, Jeff.....

Ski's ten-ton XM124 Jeff, you forgot to mention how this dual-exhaust gasser custom stacks death machine replicates an armageddon-style vehicle from Road Warrior....especially when you fire it up and blow out the mouse nests build-up....

m34 bed install looks great! did you slip in a pair of the wood "firring strips" between the frame and the bed? or did they not use them then?

12.5xl's http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=5916 read on down in this thread where the guy has put 12.5x20 XL's on his deuce as singles, on stock rims, by reversing the rear wheels only.

Super singles 12.5 on stock rims picture is it really hard on the bearings? i'd like to hear from others on this. i can understand it if it were putting wrong offset wheels and tires on a semi-floating bearing, but is the load really going to wear these bearings out?

M656 Bjorn, I've also had an interest in the 8x8 Fords as well....M656, with the aluminum cab & bed, and the supercharged 465-2....seems awesome, but this has to be the LOUDEST truck to ride in....engine up high, basically between the driver and the copilot.... i guess no louder than a HEMMT.....

M19 GMC in pictures (not M42 Duster) almost right....the vehicle pictured is an M19 Gun Motor Carriage, about 285 were built in 1944 based on the M24 Chaffee light tank chassis. they were the predecessor of the M42 AA gun tank, which similarly was based on the "new for 1950" M41 light tank...

Memorial Day parades and such.... yea, hopefully the weather will hold up for Rolling Thunder on Sunday, as well as Warrenton and/or Manassass parades Monday..... looks like the weather is supposed to cooperate....any SteelSoldiers planning on the Run to the Wall? Should be a big'un...

M135 rims Yea, the wheels are offset to run as singles versus as duals....read westech's initial email, he details how he had to clean up the inside of the wheels before putting in flaps & tubes (least I think he did)..... Those rims, in combo with turning your rear hubs inside out, allow a...

Those wheels & tires look just right for my deuce..... Wow, maybe I was channeling the OD frequency or something, but those XL's in that size on those same M135 rims are exactly what I am hunting for to use with my deuce. I suppose it is irrelevant to ask, but where & how much on a set of M135...

dual 1100's on deuce thanks, guys! I just have to be careful not to have any rubbing between the duals.

Can someone send in a pic of a "stock" deuce with 1100-20's on stock rims.....as duals? Someone seemed to have said there actually was a bit of a gap between the rear tires done this way.... If so, I'm thinking about running 10 of the 1100-20's since I've found a good source. Plus, the truck...

Baby HEMMT What paint scheme for this rig when you complete it? Are you going tan or what? This project has been great to follow. Continued good luck on your progress! Adam

APG:upload some pics, guys! Hey! Where is the awesome folder of uploaded shots from APG? Yall too busy drinking beer, rootin' thru your new loot, and slapping yourselves on the back for finding the ultimate TM and PS collections for a dollar each at the flea market? Envy is such a little...

Aberdeen :roll: You know how sometimes the best laid plans explode at the last second? This is one of those times. I am in the next to last week of my graduate program...I literally graduate on May 20th at the Patriot Center.... well, I just gave my final presentation for my capstone class...

lockers question assuming the diff has no labels, etc, or MWO tags, and it is plane jane, can't you do the old-fashioned locker test by jacking up the axle and (with both wheels off the ground) rotate one wheel, and check for direction of movement of the opposite wheel? Theoretically, if the...
