    2015 LA steel soldiers rally

    I did that to my iPhone a couple months ago. Did the walk down the interstate find it. It survived, I like to think it was the lifeproof case.

    M923A2 Doing 80 MPH!!

    I'll be honest, if my truck in Iraq could've done 80 I sure would have done it in a heartbeat. If I saw a mv passing me doing 80 I'd catch up and try to have a chat with him to see what he has done.

    2015 LA steel soldiers rally

    Use tour foot, should be able to get a little grip on it with the door open to pull it up with the heel.

    2015 LA steel soldiers rally

    All I could think of was you set your pistol down while climing on a truck and the goat came over and let you know how it really feels. Can't trust them goats you know. Do get better though. I left the foot and pins with zev, and ended up finding another foot pin when going through stuff in my...

    Recovering a stuck 5 ton Dump Truck

    Didn't air down, no front drive. I can't say much, I got stuck in a ditch.

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    If your pulling the rear steer let me contact the guy and see if he still needs one. Rear steer took the brunt of the impact.

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    I know a guy that might be interested in a few items if you are parting it out a little. His has an unfortunate run in with a swift truck last year.

    MRAP wheel tire mounting...am I missing something

    Little expensive for my taste. If I was doing tires every day then I could justify it but for 7 tires I just can't. Seating the beads on the combat rims aren't so bad once you get the hang of it, just breaking them without the proper tools.

    I want to get rid of the run flats, I hate the things.

    What about the slide hammer version?

    MRAP wheel tire mounting...am I missing something

    I was actually thinking about getting that tool mentioned on the site you linked. Esco sells one for a good bit of money but it's rated to be used with an impact. I'm with you on the bad back, that's kinda why I am looking for an easier way to do it.

    MRAP wheel tire mounting...am I missing something

    I'm going to pick one of these when I get back and hopefully won't have any trouble in the driveway with them. http://www.harborfreight.com/tire-bead-breaker-with-swan-neck-67403.html I would like to get the run flats out. I tried the method of securing the tire to a tree and the runflat to...

    MRAP wheel tire mounting...am I missing something

    What I would love is an attachment to go on my air hammer.

    MRAP wheel tire mounting...am I missing something

    Called the local place that does tractors and they said nope when I said run flat. I knew a guy like that in the army, we tried not to piss him off to much. I do believe I'll take ndt up on his offer though.

    MRAP wheel tire mounting...am I missing something

    Don't temp me, heck I'll even throw in the old tires and split rims off the 818 once I swap them over.

    MRAP wheel tire mounting...am I missing something

    At almost 400 pounds a tire bringing them to the tire guy doesn't really work to well. Also when they ask if it has run flats they run away quick.

    MRAP wheel tire mounting...am I missing something

    Ok ladies and gentlemen, I'm doing the opposite of op. I'm taking off the 395's from the aluminum wheels and putting them on 5 ton combat wheels. I have been fighting for a day trying to break the bead on one wheel and so far all I have to show for it is a broken chain and a day almost gone...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    I had a pallet with a huge water tank on it, think almost 5000 gallons of water with a little pump and some hose. My 5 axle pls could load and unload the pallet no problem empty, could even unload full. Try to load it full and you're asking to break something. The tank took up at leat 15 feet of...
