The trailer is rated to 7000# on road, so the axle with the duals is pretty well mid weight fully loaded. Dual axles might be the next attempt, after I see how the single axles work out. I'm thinking the way it's setup is good, but time will tell. We have been a bit busy with my dad having...

Treeguy, Good point on the size and shape of the wheel. I was thinking the backspacing of the fmtv wheels would be corrected somewhat by the width of the bolt on hub adapter, but that's a guess not a measurement. I'm totally up for making bolt on centers and cutting out the fmtv centers. I...

Hmmm. I might stop at costco to pick up lots of red meat. If we have grills there, I'll leave mine at home. If not, let me know. Scott, definitely want to see you mount up the 395's!

Treeguy, Are you still thinking of using the modified wheels or trying for the bolt on adapter to the truck? I'm rather leaning towards the truck adapter after seeing the "bobbed engine swap and hydro steering" link to them. Those would allow us to use the fmtv or other 10 bolt rims without...

jsaulter, does he do fmtv or hmtt wheels. Big difference.

Hey Treeguy, you and I are on the same page. I have 8 fmtv wheels, I'd love to have an adapter plate to fit those. If you have the cad drawings, you are doing excellent! I'm still looking for someone here on the west coast to make them, but I was going to work from the wheel as the template...

Good Luck Welder Sam! There are a half dozen posts about what you can take (parts lists, pickup lists, etc). Mostly patience, a credit card and a backup plan for if you can't drive it. My favorite recommend? Gallon of lucas additive. Can sub in a pinch for engine oil, gear oil...

Nope, not actually an approval letter, just the rules you have to follow when you get approved. I got one, then a day or so later it showed on GL as paid in full. If you have a EUC pending status now, the next status is Paid in Full. I'd guess you will see it shortly, but it is the waiting...

Might have been a bit over torqued. Did you drain your fuel air separator? That usually removed pressure on the fuel filter. There is a filter in the tank if I read it correctly, more of a screen really. Also check your fuel shutoff switch, see if a wire is loose. That's my quick 2 cents.

Apologies to Morgan. Scott, PM or call me about the aluminum.

Hey Scott! Yup, I got some! Need some?

Bump! Any updates? we love a happy ending to a good story.

Ok, my quick brief on this, since a post or two of mine has been listed. I have had LOTS of luck finding people who will help me convert my fmtv (20 bolts securing the two part wheel together) at $600 or so a wheel, plus shipping. I've had a couple around $400 a wheel. I haven't had anyone...

A good time was had by all! Yes, I lost the highway race, but i was the first one to the highway! Jodie and I enjoyed meeting Dan, and getting to know Scott and Danielle better. Don't forget Megan too! There was pizza, donuts, cokes and gatorade. And the airport had stuff too! Sitting in...

two cents more here. I have wrench sets in duplicate up to 1 1/2. I usually find you will need two of the same size, most every time. I haven't had a lot of luck with using sockets since half the time you can't fit them in the space you will be using them, but I do carry deep well and...

heading out!

5400 martin in lacey? First Pizza and Pitcher is on me. Might have to be root beer though. we're drivin.

Duponts/Farrelis it is. I have heard back from Whitney, at the museum who says we can show up at Jorgensen Air service about 1pm and we will be led over to the military vehicle site. So pizza about noon?

two cents? if you're mounting a tank there, and it's aluminum and brand new, you should be able to keep that puppy very clean. I'd go with a bottom tap, which would also mean you have gravity on your side for pressure. Not that we NEED a tank pump with the deuce, but every little bit helps...

Looks like we are a go! Bringing the m35a3 for this one since the 109 is conspicuously missing a box. Now where did I put that turtle wax? Scott, I'm going to be coming over from Graham, anyplace we can all meet?
