I am looking into getting one of the M872 trailers. Does anyone have one? They are basically a 40 foot, 34 ton flatbed trailer with triple axles. Very stout, but what else would you expect from the military? There have been several sold on GL recently and I can't remember what they have been...

I was switching some tires yesterday and took this pic to show the comparison between stock tires and Michelin 11.00 XL radials.

First off, let me say that I am a truly ignorant when it comes to military radios and I don't know the lingo. This M818 has a mount under the bed and a rear mast for an antenna. Are these common to you radio guys? I would like to get an antenna just to mount up for grins, but probably won't...

I like the looks of this one. Hopefully we can get thousands of these deployed in short order and then maybe we can get one surplus in 20 years!

I found a guy on craigslist that has 2 wreckers for sale. One is a M816 and one is a M819. Anybody on the west coast need one? http://slo.craigslist.org/car/371700911.html http://slo.craigslist.org/car/371695384.html

Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting with some fellow Steelsoldiers members to swap goodies and stories. I have yet to meet a member of this site that I didn't like, although I'm not sure that goes both ways! This road trip posed two challenges: 1) Unload a 10,000# PLS type trailer and...

I thought I read here somewhere that the USMC paper clips on 5 tons indicated lockers, but I can't seem to find that post. Does this truck have lockers? Is there an M series designation for this or is it a chassis with modifications?

I got to use a few pieces of equipment today to set a PLS tankrack (water distributor) on a bridge truck chassis. After tipping the module over at first aua , we finally engineered a way to get it loaded for a test fit. I think this project is going to turn out nicely.

I haven't seen too many trucks that will make a HET truck/trailer combination look small. Check out the truck shown in the pic. I think it must be an M920 with 16.00R20 singles and I think I need one. :lol:

I'm looking into some new tires, either the Goodyear G177 or G286 in 1100R20 size. From a few searches on the forum, I know we have a few members running each of these in single configuration on a deuce. Does anyone have them setup as duals on a deuce or have them in duals on their 5 ton? I'm...

Can someone help this guy out at g503? http://www.g503.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=97053

I have been setting funds aside for over a year to get some super single wheels and tires for my 5 tons. I found a place that says they have "plenty". Split rims, 10 bolt, 16 bolt and 20 bolt. They also have 14.00R20s and 16.00R20s tires in Michelin XL, Michelin XZL and Goodyear AT-2A tread...

I think I need a bridge truck and have some questions. I have reviewed several manuals and have found bits of conflicting and/or missing information on the bridge trucks. I know several members have them and I was hoping for some help. (All questions are related to M809 series bridge trucks)...

Can anyone ID this rack? Is it for radios or other gear?

The M172 25-ton lowboy trailer has a reversible kingpin for use with the either standard 5th wheels or the large ones used on the M123, M911, M1070. Are there any other military trailers designed with a reversible kingpin?

A little rain couldn't keep us away. We rolled out the big boys for a parade celebrating Oklahoma's Centennial. Happy Birthday Oklahoma!

What is the difference between OE/HDO, OE/HDO 10 and OE/HDO 30? What commercial equivalent should I be using for OE/HDO 10?

Here are some pics of the same size tank/pump unit that is on the M1075. It has a 3000 gallon water tank, 150 gallon foam tank, and the 70hp Hatz Diesel helps pump about 600 gallons per minute. The rear cannon (in red) shoots nearly 200 feet. Large towbar in last pic for size comparison. Can...

I have a truck that has "DRMO" and misc numbered markings written on the hood, bumper and door. There seem to be written with some sort of paint pen. Can these be easily removed from CARC? What is the best way?

I'm looking for the .pdf manuals for the M548. Does anyone have them or have access to them?
