    M1009 gun truck

    OK I promise to get more photo's once the opportunity arrises. Right now, to answer your question about stability, it is just two 3/4" plywood sheets bolted to make a fiberglass sandwich. A real 60 would shred that in minutes. The stability will come later when we basically make a roll...

    Canadian RFP for 2,300 Medium Trucks

    not to mention the over-all length of them would make trail riding (or turning) damn near impossible. unless you make your own trail that is. they are, IMO, WAY too long. Man do those ever look intimidating though! they really seem beefy. I love those wheels/tires

    Belt whine... how do I tighten them?

    I just did mine last year.. took about an hour. the power steering pump was the hardest one simply because there isn't much room down there to get a good tension on the belt and tighten it at the same time. see if a buddy can come over to help you with that one. one hold it with a bar while...

    Civy truck to MIL trailer wiring info

    This part available anywhere or is it a Military part? sounds like the way to go after all especially cost wise... and RGR my brake pack is a newer style but thats the reason I bought the DC DC converter mostly. I just wired up an 8 bus fuse panel giving me 8 12V splits. so here is my plan...
