The pintle extension is only used for the shelter carriers and I have seen them on a local unit towing howitzers. It can be used with it or without the reinforcement plate Also can be used with the tire carrier and all 3 pieces. Never designed this way but doable. You would have to fab up the...

That is common duct hose. Measure the Id which should be the same both ends and length. Napa will have it in gates and other hd parts stores should have it. Oreilly can probably order in.

Seen some pics with the older metal carriers on rear fenders probably unit mods. The slantbacks and armament carriers have inside bed plastic mounts with the fuel ones having a drain tube.

Just saw a set on a m1097 I previewed Inside painted sea foam green. Truck also had a tailgate painted interior sea foam green. This set did not have the placards.

Another easy work around is leave it in gear.

IMHO, the condition of the truck being recapitalized dictated how much was done to it and the budget allocated to the facility doing the work. As I stated earlier in this thread, I previewed 100 + of these and nothing was cookie cutter the same with all of them. The most consistent thing I...

Has to be listed on the sidewall and the tire sticker of a new tire. Commonly listed on the manufacturer's website/catalog.

that is expressed in the ratings. the higher the number, the harder the rubber and lasts longer hence more mileage. Tires are rated for example 500/A/A The letter grades are temperature and traction.

I recently previewed over 100 m1097's from Red River and it is a truly a salad bowl of what you will get I saw R1, A2 etc. Most appear to have been turned in and just sat. Not heavily cannibalized like USMC units. Most even had almost complete sets of BII. Will be interesting if all the goodies...

Is your gearwrench an original made by ken tool? If so they are lifetime warranty.

If you can find STA super lugs reasonable; they are better than the ndts. I have a trailer with some deep cracks but don't sweat it as they are 16 ply and tough as nails. Look nasty but run cool. Just made a 400 mile trip monday on my 60's m116 variant. I do carry a spare with a new tube and...

I would check with state farm. La is different than the other 49 states with our laws. State farm does both my m923 & m998 as classic. What year is yours? Daily driver? Where are you? I have some stuff for sale.....

I don't think the majority of us need to be concerned with load ratings as D is plenty adequate. We do not have the weight of armour and loaded to the gills with gear & occupants to contend with. If you have a shelter, ambo, or maint body, then yes that can be a reason to stick with E. Another...

YMMV, I would use an older BFG Baja with confidence over any flavor of goodyears. The vast majority of auction trucks with flat tires or blow outs are goodyears. I just previewed over 100 m1097's of all flavors yesterday in Mobile ( all trucked in from Red River BTW ) and did not see one flat...

Is Wolfer an AMD dealer or is China.com already making geared drives also?

Just a guess but maybe means exercise and specifically loaded for that mission?

There is a specific optima battery spacer plate to fit the military 6tl battery footprint. On epay and some suppliers for stupid money for a chunk of plastic.

My thought is that I 2x's a year spray the tires with tire protection. Sold everywhere but read the labels to see what you are getting. I don't care about the shiny thing but want the chemical to protect to be absorbed. Does it work? I have no clue but it can't hurt and does not kill the bank.......

If you part it out, then you can also make some $ & scrap the frame. Lights,pigtail, harness,jack, chains, Hoses. singles with tubeless rims are easy to sell

@Action has posted in the past that he provides a service to de-laminate the plastic layer off if that allows you to flip the glass and use them both sides. It will also save you headaches down the road when they turn cloudy. You will not have the safety layer but do you expect to be shot at?
