Dyno Mat and all of the others are a rip off. it is the same a waterproofing membrane. Just don't buy the stuff with the sand finish. The best stuff that I have used is called Bituthene it is used to waterproof commercial buildings. Just make sure, that is where you want it. It will not come...
Here is some pictures of some paint sample I am trying from Benjamin Moore. I am not a big fan of the CARC colors. The green is to light and so is the brown. I wanted a darker palette on my M813.
(1) the first picture is all the color samples on my truck. You can see the difference beside the...
It would be easier to cut and weld it. Unless you want a radiused corner. if you heat them and use the 50 ton press it shouldn't be a problem. the gig doesn't need to be shaped like a 80*. it can be two round bars welded to a big plate spaces apart and axe shaped piece on the ram. The axe shape...
I have also looked into a hooklift for my 5 ton for all the same reasons. Check out a company called swap-loader and there is another company that has a dump hoist on a square tube frame. At the head there is a winch. It is basically a simple roll off set up. I think it will work great on a...

I am working on putting a intercooler on mine. I have decided on air/air or water/air. Water to air is more flexable. But I this a R model Mack intercooler will work in front of my M813 radiator. I will just need to push the grill guard out a bit.
I am usually a perfectionist, but I am trying to quit. Try to do everything perfect, makes everything take to long and to much money. The military did the spray and pray. Why can't I! :grd:
The marines were always the Black sheep of the armed forces. I was in 1/2 based in Camp Lejeune. Oh boy did we have fun on joint maneuvers with the Army. There were always fist fights in the bars and when we do joint exercises we play to win. I remember being on top of a snow tank armed with a...
