How much antifreeze are you all adding to 16.00R20s? In the video he mentioned he started with 1 pint (16 oz) and would most likely double it (32 oz) for 14.00-20s, i believe. A balance bead manufacturer lists 36 oz worth of beads for the 16.00R20 size of tire. Does 36 oz (4.5 cups) of...

I'm in Thanks!

My passengers taking a pic after the Veteran's Day parade this past year And one of my favorite mods - the grenade micro-switch that turns on the jake brakes when I squeeze the handle!

Last I had read about 2 years ago was that it belonged in someone's private collection in Illinois.

Memorial Day ceremony and a fun local car show before they banned military rigs for being too heavy for their new asphalt driveway. They even banned the M37...

If you had a CH-53 or something you could take your truck with you...

That's a great story. I would love to run into to someone who served with my truck and get some first hand knowledge of its history and hear their stories. The closest I've come to that is meeting a guy at a car show whose MOS and training was to drive M813s at the same base (I think) that my...

The heater was on the passenger side and not plumbed in for 2 years until I did the turbo install. At that point the heater moved to the driver side and was finally hooked up to coolant lines and the heater ducts.

...and the campaigning continues: VIC-1 intercom Heater-in-a-can (now functional! ) And finally, here's a video cruising around after the turbo install 😁 There's some stiff competition this year, but my truck and I would appreciate any votes you may want to send our way 😁 I will be...

I'll start off the campaigning with Miss January 2021 - my 1981 M813A1 There has been a lot of work done to this beast since its January nomination - mainly a turbo setup, a #17 fuel button, a coolant filter, and finishing the heater-in-a-can project. Here are the highlights: BHT3B turbo...

I remember watching that truck when FTF Tech first offered it up for sale. They mentioned that mounting the front wheels like that made it over width for shipping so they would ship it with the wheels mounted as Silverstate55 suggested and then would arrange for a roadside tire service to...

This sounds like a great project! My son is urging me to do this with an M814 with a shorter bed. In case you haven't seen it, here is a walkaround of Soni's M920 XM920A1

I haven't geeked out about it for a long time but most trucks intentionally (engineered in) have a wider track width in the front to maintain proper Ackerman steering geometry. I've been told that it's best not to mess that up with custom offsets & such. I'm not sure what nuances are involved...

I don't have any details other than this was an old listing for 2011 Mk48 from Crawler Carriers? for $240,000. The tracks might be by Terramac...

Has anyone tried the Goodyear G272 tires? They look pretty aggressive.

This was in a post by member @Excuse Me

On which model of truck?

Firestone T831s? They do make the XML in 1200R20 which would fit stock rims...

To clarify, those trucks in that picture are not mine. Those trucks were built by Eastern Surplus for the Tuff Rack boys up in Canada. I do have an M813A1 but mine still has the stock 1100r20 duals on it. I don't have any experience with Michelin tires but the XLs do look cool. About the...

I just love the M813 and if I didn't have one of them I would have another 809 series truck. If you build one you could start with a short wheelbase M818 tractor and put a shorter bed on it. Several fellas on here have real nice examples like this.
