You are correct.

Second the M915/M916/M920. I've got a M932 tractor and I think you'll be disappointed in its highway speed, when towing heavy loads.

Welcome, from your redneck of the woods.

The other issue with towing a running vehicle, especially one with an unknown service history, is that there is no one monitoring the towed vehicle's operation/gauges. It could easily overheat, or lose oil pressure, and what would be an otherwise minor inconvenience could cost you an engine or...

What's it's under, in the classifieds? I searched the classifieds under 24V to 12V, reducer, converter, step down ect ect with no luck.

I've got a M932 and I'm looking for a good waterproof 24V to 12V 30A step down converter, for powering a brake controller, and ultimately 12V civilian trailer brakes. I'd prefer something I can purchase off the shelf, but I realize that's probably not an option. Anyone have a good unit they've...

The push button light switches were someone's attempt to re-invent the wheel. They were not well received and nowhere near as reliable, as the three lever switches.

I don't care who you are, that's just cool!!!

Spray paint works great on these soft tops. I've used 65lb braided fishing line to re-stitch them and it works really well as well.

I'm not going to throw anyone under the bus, but I know someone on this forum who was forced (by the now ex-wife) to wear a hockey helmet anytime he worked under his deuce. All because of one little trip to the ER for some stitches.....

I like it, it's very Mad Max-ish. Did you reinforce the original bumper? I'd like to see a pair of robust D-rings on the front face of the new bumper but the mounting to the original bumper would have to be able to withstand the transferred load.

Soapy water in a spray bottle to check the air system for leaks. The leak will more than likely be at a fitting. There's a liquid fitting sealant (can't remember the name), don't use Teflon tape, it'll send ribbons of tape into the dryer and ruin it. Also could be an air line leak caused by...

MRAP wheels are the wheels (and usually tires) of an Mine-Resisted Ambush Protected vehicle, otherwise known as an MRAP.

$6K is an ok price (but nothing to write home about) for a solid running M35 W/W bobber in decent shape. This one has too many unknowns to be considered in decent shape or a good deal. Generally I would advise against beginning the FMTV hobby with a truck that is mechanically unsound, unless...

I've found the Toyota Prius to function as a good wheel chock....

Welcome, from South Florida. I've got a M932A2 (plus a rotating stock of other trucks) so feel free to PM me with any questions you've got on repairs, FMV registration in Fl, ect, ect. Have fun and stay safe.

Which solar charger?

I've got a m932 tructor. I think you'll find that if you go the tractor route, for a quad cab, that the bed will be extremely short. Probably around 6-8 feet, depending on your spare tire relocation.

SS member Troll1216 had the same thing but an F150 was the "attack vehicle" in his incident. Broke a dog bone and a hub/axle shaft if I remember correctly. Get with him and he can walk you through what was damaged. It was covered by at fault vehicle drivers insurance, including the hefty tow...
