I am not so patiently waiting for the XM474E2 to arrive. It is basically an M113 chassis with a soft skin body.
In the interim I want to pick your brain.
I intend to have this be a modular vehicle with one module being a self contained 500gal brush fire fighting rig with which we can...
I just brought home a multifuel M52. What a beast. Hope you like the pics. Towed it home today. Slaved it off and it fired right up. Drove it around for about 30 min to play with it. used the winch to drag a tree trunk. I love the 5 ton multifuel motor.

Well everyone that has lifted the deuce has gone big with tires. Here are some pics of an 8" lift and 395/85R20 46" tires.
The bobber match up shows the same size tires on each deuce.
The deuce/5 ton match up also shows the same tire size on each truck. The deuce with the 8" lift is the...
Hey folks. I am swapping my 5th wheel plate on the M916 from the big pin (3" or 3.5" ?) to a standard 2" plate made by Holland. This is the same plate that Soni used on him M920 and others are considering.
I have the original plate off and the new plate staged. I am having bushings machined...
I have some WMO and ATF available for local pick up in Richwood, TX. It is in 5 gal buckets and 55 gal drums. I have three 55 gal drums of ATF and four 5 gal buckets of WMO. Can assist with loading. FREE!

Here is my M934A2 truck with a 20' FMTV bed. Stewart and Stevenson performed the transplant when they owned it. The sides are easier to fold down with the 3 sections... much lighter to handle.

OK I am sitting here at midnight and my brain will not let this one go.
Has anyone considered what it will take to cut an M917 bed down so it will fit an M916?
Anyone have an M917 bed & ram they care to part with?

I have an M934A2 that Stewart and Stevenson owned and put an M1085 20' cargo bed on. Does anyone know much about these beds? I need a set of troop seats and a cargo cover kit for it.
Does the cargo cover kit attach to the stake bed posts in the bed? If so can you lower the side sections...
Hey guys don't slam me but I need to locate the interatcive service programs for the M939 series. Yes, I know "use the search engine" posts will follow but my brain is gelled tonight.
Jason, Chris, Bruce anyone...

I put one of the 20K hitches I had made for the deuces on an M925 that I am bobbing this week. It is turning out to be a clean addition. I am also adding a gooseneck ball to the top of the insert so it will pull an assortment of standard balls, pintle trailers AND gooseneck trailers.

I built a spare tire carrier for one of the bobbers. My wheels make it easy to change tires so I only carry a spare tire instead of a tire/wheel combo. This is setup keeps the rain and crud out. I think the in-bed set up gives it an old school look.
What say ye?

Hey Folks,
The M925 has not sold so I have decided to put it under the fire knife during my Christmas vacation. Will, Soni, Joe and other big truck gurus please chime in for some questions. This is my first bobbed truck with air brakes so I do not really know what I should expect to find...
OK guys and gals... don't bash me for this very subjective test but here it goes. I loaded some dirt/bricks/rubble in a bobber and towed a trailer with a loader. The springs were taxed but not on the bump stops. How much did it weigh... I don't know. But the pics are worth a look.
I was...
Does anyone have any pics of broken M939 t-cases? I have an interest in building some bolt-on braces but do not have a broken case to use as a guide. If anyone has any broken case housings I would like to get my hands on them.
