UPDATE! I just received my 2 mounts and 2 BMG cradles. General Mcgregor finished the drawing of what I have planned for my GT build. I am now looking for a dropside 5 ton bed to build my Gun box on. Anyone in the New England area that can help?

No that isn't mine. I wish! No we recovered it for a Fellow Member who lives in Michigan. Here are some pictures of my M813, when I was testing the trailer before picking up the M931A2.

I was contacted by a fellow Steel Soldier to recover his M931A2 from Ayer Mass. We are located in South Easton Mass. So this was not a problem for us. We decided that a low deck 20 Ton equipment trailer was the best tool for the job, But I drove my own M813 with 1600R20 up on the trailer to...

I am planning on using a cover on my Gun Truck too. I drive my truck a lot and don't want to freak people out. The truck turns enough heads as is. I want to cover the truck name when driving around town too!

I was going to be a vender but have sold out of a lot of my small parts. I am going to buy. VTdeucedriver do you want me to bring your hood? I have a level winder and tensioner for sale if anyone is interested and I can bring it with me.

just trying to help. I don't want to see another brother get himself in a pickle. If you win one let me know if I can help get her road worthy. good luck

Sorry, Bro. Against the rules. good luck

I have some stock 20,000 lb 5 ton winch mounts, tensioner and a level winder I would sell. Not sure if you still need that stuff. I maybe able to get you the rollers of the winch too. I will know later this week. PM me if I can help you out!

I guess it would depend on if you use bead locks or not. My 1600's were a bear. I had to use a 1" gun to get mine tight. Not sure of the torque, but these are tight as tight can be! Treeguy I hope you will post some pictures up of those adapters you made and the finished product.

anyone notice the silhouette of the chic on the side of the Helo? Just when you think you thought of something new :doh: and you see someone did it already. I am going to have me friends air brush in a Reeper and some skulls in my camo pattern.

the three color desert camo is MERDC grey desert. there are TM's on painting this pattern and lots of great info here on this subject. type in desert Camo or MERDC and you should find the other threads on this subject. I am painting my Gun truck MERDC grey desert.

Thanks 73m819 for the info. If I lengthen my torque rods, I am not going for a Canadian spread. Just enough so my hand can fit between the rear tires. :mrgreen:

73m819 do you know the revision for the trunnion. I seen that there was a revision made to the trunnion. The revision replaces the bearings. I when I replace the suspension parts I would like to up grade the trunnion too.

Yes! splicing suspension parts is never a good idea. I was going to have my friend mill off the ends and build new longer ones using the old ends. The ballistic ends are expensive. Yes, 73m819 you are correct about lengthening the springs. I would have to have longer springs made.

Great info and I have good news. I checked rear suspension it is tight and strong. I will be up grading the trunnion bearings and replaced all 12 torque rod bushings. I am thinking of lenghting the torque rods to Give more room between the tires.

I have been checking things over and found that the rear axles were not in line. I looked closer but things look fine. It worries me because there is only about 3/4 inch between the 1600's. I would hate to have them hit. I will check the trunnion too.

I think my torque rods are going Bad. I have read how to test them. Do I need to take the springs off to get the top rods off? Or can I just take them all off one by one?

Crazywelder72 let me know if you need main switch or any other parts . I have few main switches at the shop.

Lot's of good advice here. It does't cost anything to check these things first. Hate to tear down a good engine, if you don't need to.
