Would one leave it stock or bob it and put an M105 trailer bed on it? ;) hehehe

I thought the Army and Marines had big trucks like the M125 or M911 but it looks like the air force puts them all to shame with their '79 Terex MX 8x8...

I'm missing 3 oil supply screws (p/n 199225) and I cut off 3 of those special stud nuts that were rusted on. Does anyone have any extra of these they don't need anymore?

Maybe a pre-2007 C15...

My search for 425A Jakes for a decent price proved fruitless so I ordered a 25B kit and it just arrived today!

Isn't the N-14 the last iteration of the 855 engine? It seems like if that's true, a swap should be kinda straight forward right? Are they way more spendy than a Big Cam?

I'm wondering if this 1500° Duracoat might work. The OD green color looks close and if it's good enough for suppressors and machine gun barrels it should hold up. https://www.duracoatfirearmfinishes.com/products/duraheat-2-0-high-temperature-coating?variant=40632469193

Did this coating have a name or any other identifier?

I've read that CARC is not supposed to be applied to parts that get hot so what did the military do and what can I do to paint my exhaust stack with a green that will last? Is there a high heat product that works and matches well enough?

Thanks for the correction! I remember my college roommate flooding the kitchen with foam by using the wrong stuff. It puts on quite a show - a show I would like to avoid

Well this isn't my truck but it looks like the entire dash is a custom setup so it must be like a generic key switch. Those Military Guys have keyed switches that hook right up to our harnesses. Another outfit has keys that look like the standard switch levers.

Still not sure, but my drivers seat and empty fire extinguisher bracket on the tranny tunnel make that kind of noise. The truck in this video has several slaps and clunks that sound like the noises inside my cab. Are the tranny tunnel bolts all tight? Does the noise only happen when hitting...

My expanded metal stone guard in front of the radiator can get loose at times...

When you use the Dawn dish soap how much are you using? A full bottle? Half bottle?

I wonder if the jeepers also stiff the humvee guys...

Looks pretty intimidating :)

The jeepers see you roll up behind them at the light and in their rear view your front bumper is staring them in the face as your 5 ton oozes with brute strength. Then they realize your winch cable is bigger around than their rear axle shaft. They add flexy suspension and remote reservoir...

To make the front brace that ties the frame to the fender you need a piece of 1 1/4" O.D. x .109" wall x 31 1/4" long steel tubing. Mark two lines 1 1/2" in from each end, then flatten that 1 1/2" of one end in a press. Flip the tube around so that the freshly flattened end is on your end and...

Lonnie, if you're thinking about fully duplicating the left side of the truck I think I still have my notes on making the front stiffener tube and triangular gusset from when I made mine symmetrical.

The 813 is hibernating this winter. But while it's sleeping there I think it's dreaming like this:
