Just wanted to post for NM members that may not have seen this: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?127640-Elephant-Butte-days-parade-September-13th I'm going to try to make it.

In theory, my deuce will fit in my 5-ton bed. This is based on tape measure. I have yet to try it (so I can get a picture).

Many of the MRAP wheel/tire combos have a run-flat insert so that would help if you do not have a spare. I have also thought about jacking up a rear axle and chaining it to the frame if I heeded to. I always carry chains. I always used to carry a full size spare when my super singles were on...

How about a washer made of polyethylene plastic for a bearing of sorts, like what they use to replace the grease on camping fifth wheel hitches.

I use a long pry bar for mounting the wheel on to the axle studs. The process is similar to using a shovel but allows the additional capability of being able to turn the tire so the hole in the wheel line up with the studs. No need to jack up the second axle at the same time this way. When I...

I have thought of doing something similar to PWM but locating it where the tire hoist is like gimpyrobb's idea. That way, it is not in the bed.

Detour but I think they still fly Phantoms as target drones out here on McGregor and/or White Sands missile range. I saw one get blown out of the sky some 12 - 15 years ago out at McGregor. O.K. I have to stop as I seem to be overcome with allergies all of a sudden. Back to topic...please note...

I think John Deere tractor oil is green. That would go with well with green machines:)

It does not require a CDL in TX. It does require at minimum, a class B license but not commercial unless you intend to use the truck commercially.

Helomech - I understand what you have been saying and agree that generally, you would be correct. I also have extensive experience in electricity, both stationary and vehicular and would have been prone to stating just about what you have. However, it has become apparent to me since being bit by...

I am really hoping to make this.

That is so cool!! thanks for posting. I had the pleasure of meeting a WWII vet last week while shopping at Lowes. He noticed my "Marines" ball cap and said hi Marine so I extended my hand and responded with "Semper Fi". He was wearing a WWII Vet ball cap so I asked him about his time in. He...

If you order from Rockauto, there is always a discount code available, usually for 5 % off. If you need it, I can find one and send it to you.

O.K. then, I'll try to be more helpful. Both my deuce (on 395s) and my 5 ton have bouncing issues at certain speeds that I can affect with tire pressure. Airing down usually will work to reduce my vibration below 40 mph. But I have to air down quite a bit so I limit this to when I will not be...

Then just speed up or slow down:)

It is a buttload (pun intended) more comfortable. the foam is much denser so you do not completely compress it to the point of resting on the base like you do with the stock seat. Plus, the foam is contoured to "cradle" you. I do not know of another color choice but it would seem easy enough to...

Hey Aaron, did you catch where I had posted my MRAP seat install quite a while back? I cannot find it now but here is a picture of the troop seats I installed three across in my truck. As you can see, the space underneath remains usable and the seat bottoms do fold up. I can get more of these.

There is a gathering at Elephant Butte lake coming up that is listed in the upcoming events section. Lots of beach and hills there for our trucks.

I think the sound you are hearing is air from the spring brakes. When you engage the parking brake, you release air from the spring brake chambers, causing the spring brakes to set. The sound you hear is that air as it is routed to the intake pipe. The regular service brakes take air pressure to...

Bed is just under 5 foot high.
