    Converting M1009 front differential to Pos--trac style

    As far as limited slip differentials go, don't they also tend to act as a spindle on ice, also?

    How long are people spending on Crewcabs?

    Although I can't imagine riding in the back seat, a lot of people tend to get motion sick when riding backwards.

    Converting M1009 front differential to Pos--trac style

    Thanks for the advice, but on the road, the truck will probably be int 2wd and the hub locks turned to free-wheel. But thanks for the advice about the snow.

    How long are people spending on Crewcabs?

    It's not a technically challenging job, but it does require thought and planning. Most use a hard top and simply cut and extend it on the back end. You will probably want to brace the top as this makes a large unsupported piece of sheet metal if you do not. A roll bar functions nicely for this...

    US Army no longer plans to purchase Humves

    Faulting the HMMWV for not being IED resistant is stupid. It was never meant to be an armored vehicle. The Jeep provided even LESS protection from mines, IEDs, bullets.

    Throwin' $2000 at the Green Bomb

    Air conditioning if it's going to be a daily driver. Sound insulation is nice.

    Converting M1009 front differential to Pos--trac style

    Can I use a Come-along to pull it out? Seems like it will be a lot gentler.

    Another Family Member Likes the Deuce !!!

    My 9 year old daughter LOVES to ride in the big green truck. Today I shifted into low range 1st gear and let her drive it all around the field. I told her that she was the ONLY one in her grade to drive a truck that big. I also taught her armpit farts when she was barely 4 by soaping her up...

    She won't start now.....

    Make sure the stop cable hasn't come disconnected and the fuel stop lever is in the run position.

    I love trucks

    Solution: (besides losing the gut) get an Air-o-matic kit and then a smaller steering wheel.

    TOWING A M35A3 from TN to MD. CDL NEEDED?

    Also, when they list it a "did not start", they ONLY jump in and hit the start button. If it doesn't crank, then they don't even try to jump start it and instead list it as "did not start". Probably because the attendants only get paid by the hour and not a percentage of the sale. Can't blame...

    TOWING A M35A3 from TN to MD. CDL NEEDED?

    Just remembered, you can't pick up on Saturdays. Maybe you can get m16ty to haul it to his place (only about 25 miles away) and check it out for you.

    TOWING A M35A3 from TN to MD. CDL NEEDED?

    Fly in to Nashville and drive it back. If you fly in on Saturday, I'll be glad to pick you up and take you to Ft. Campbell.

    Stopped by the NCSHP

    Still, for $630 plus court costs, you can hire a lawyer to do the research and give you a REAL legal opinion.

    Stopped by the NCSHP

    Well, the good thing is that you didn't get a ticket for no fuel decal. Get one immediately and say nothing about it in court. You can probably still beat the rap about the overweight antique.

    Stopped by the NCSHP

    The ST was just making up the 4K thing because there is no such thing as a weight limit on an antique vehicle, if there was, half the antique cars would be breaking the law. He was just being a wise a$$ because he just didn't like the fact that you were using your antique vehicle to haul...
