Got home last night about midnight. Lots of diesel and miles. Was able to get the front hubs with new pads and calipers installed yesterday. Dismounted 5 of 6 bead locks with run flats and installed on 16.5 dually rims. Looks good but a lift will really set it off. The wrecker bed has a small...

If you don't mind, what did all the aorta cost ya to do that? brett

I'll be leaving tomorrow for my parts run. Wrecker body, 6 tires, 6 wheels and dually front hubs. I hope the condition is better than I'm preparing for. Brett

Don't know if it's been mentioned but I would like to see your location be a mandatory field when signing up with city and state. There seem to be several threads a day where someone quotes the rules referencing that you agreed to place where you live. Brett

Since the search button doesn't work for you, look at the bottom of the screen. It has a section called similar threads and I think it'll help you find what you are looking for. I know it's helped me on several issues. Brett

The uhaul would work. Not great or even good but it works. I wasn't planning on buying my truck when we did and only had my wife's 13 f150. It was fine till about 70 and it would start swaying pretty bad. 65 was the sweet spot. I'm sure it would've been better behind my truck. Biggest thing is...

We used the uhaul and towed about 500 miles when I bought my truck. Had to let a little air out of the front tires so the strap would fit. Make sure you get the aluminum one and not the orange car hauler. It barely fit but was my only option. If you do it as a k30 it'll accept it. Otherwise if...

To me they offer great visibility off road and that added comfort of keeping you from falling out! Brett

Gonna have to look into this! Great idea when wheeling. The tube doors would be slick Brett

I'm going to try this again. My truck has a 4" lift with 35s. Hitch is set at the highest setting. It's slightly nose high. Hitch is belongs to a friend that drives a ford 4x4 dually. These trailers are tall in the hitch.

Wish I had known earlier. I would've swapped ya some cucv tires/wheels for your 37s if interested plus some! That would lower it about 2.5-3". Brett

Don't want to start a new thread. If I have my chl, can I keep my pistol in my truck? I won a trailer and would like to pick it up Monday. Tried calling all day Friday and never got thru. If I just show up can I get my trailer or will I be turned around? It's a 3 hr drive. Ft hood brett...

Did anyone pick up one of these? They are still selling them for $505. I'm wondering what would be needed to run this on my cucv wrecker. Also, does anyone have any ideas on what's needed for an extra power steering pump? I'm only running on alt so have some free space. Brett

Where in the world did you find that at? I'm going for an authentic lifted wrecker. Military should've have what I building. Wonder if they will buy that? brett

I was working my side job yesterday. I still stay local dirt roads till I get it inspected and registered. Keep having a recurring horn problem. I'll drive it more often once I get the 37s on and lower the rpms! Next time your out this way give me a hollar. You could take your truck across the...

Once I get my hands on it I'll have a better idea of everything I guess. This will probably be a several week/month project so I'll have time to figure it all out I hope! Looking forward to getting the pieces all put together. Brett

I have to work or else I'd driver over! That would've been fun. Brett

I think I have this figured out. Here's my truck. I've checked it out for years when visiting family in Arkansas. Finally located the owner and asked how much or if it was even for sale. They called back and gave me a price. I checked it out the day before coming home. Wouldn't shift and wasn't...

Where are you getting your Holmes info from? I'm trying to figure out how the winch works? I'm assuming off the transfer case the pto turns a shaft which in turn spins a sprocket that's attached to the chain spinning the winch. How do the tailboard controls control the power in/out? This isn't...

Recovery is gonna have the show piece! Man what a great build you have started! Mine will be more of a rat rod compared to yours! a few hard details about my build! I've always used photobucket links for pics before so I will need to learn how to add pics for here. '85 M1008 approx 55k...
