Wow. Awhile ago thieves were stripping copper and aluminum. Its so bad now that they're stealing steel. A year or two ago I'm not sure I would have believed scrap steel would be worth the effort to steal it. Watch your trucks. I'm surprised we haven't heard of some sh*tbag stealing one of our...

Any more info on that cover/rack combo? I've been looking for something exactly like that.

Steel soldiers expedition to find it? I'm in. Now that would be an epic recovery. Ran when parked. My snowshoes and skis are ready, and I'm Arctic qualified. Let's go!

Come on, it's Canada, it's almost the US. :mrgreen: kidding of course, much love for my Canadian Brothers. Welcome to SS Dave G. You have a great province over there. Spent some time there in 1998. Make sure you research what you'll need to get over the border, and probably more importantly to...

The crew cab A3 is sweet. Nice work so far. Have we seen a CC A3 yet? I don't think I have. Suicides on the rear doors might be cool, makes me think of a 1962 Lincoln. It's your truck, do what you want, but FWIW my vote is no gull wing or bottom hinged doors.

There are a couple of threads on installing one of these on a truck. The same techniques could easily be applied to a trailer. I plan on doing something similar to my 5 ton. I can't find the thread using search right now, but there are some pretty cool ideas from other members out there. Keep...

What's the nomenclature of the generator?

Welcome! Congrats on that 1031. I was eyeing that one too, but didnt bid. I was eyeing all those trucks that just went out of Fort Rich, I bid on a few of them, but they all went too high for me. The recovery driving one of those back to Fairbanks would have been fun.

The Army is not phasing out heavy armor. We've been reorganizing into a BDE centric force for awhile now, but heavy brigade combat teams, of which M1s are an integral part, are very much a part of our Army. The rumor still persists that Stryker mobile gun systems are replacing tanks, but that is...

Are they too short for a specific vehicle? My 101A2 chains are perfect length for towing behind my '10 Powerwagon with no modifications.

I picked up my 813 from Lima and took 75 to US23 to end up just south of Ann Arbor in December. The truck came from Wright Patterson and I picked it up from a guy that was helping me out. I planned the trip from WP along pretty much the same route you did but I didnt have to go quite that far...

Hmmm, first time I've heard reference to the small wires running to the battery. Is this standard? I had a couple of wire remnants when I got my 813, but only once end was hooked to ground and the other was frayed and cut. no terminal was on the other so I couldnt see where it went. By chance my...

I'd be happy to just get one of the boats! I know there are a few out there in private hands, but I havent seen but one for sale.

:shock: Sweet. I know multi fuels will run on most anything, but greasy rags? That's going too far. Skip the WVO, just feed it fries, or chicken wings, she'll burn it and shoot the bones out the exhaust.

Awesome! Man, does that look like fun. Did you import that one yourself?

Can you paint it?

There were about half a dozen in Anchorage this week that went for $10,000+. They were cherry looking M35A3C winch trucks, and AK is an odd market, but upwards of $13,000 from GL for an A3... :shock:

Great look on that 813! Without hub flipping is any other modification necessary to put HEMTT rims on an 809 truck? Someone mentioned new lug nuts? I'm looking to single out my 813 with 14s as well and I thought I needed the newer 5 ton rims to do it with no mods, just get the 14s put on some...

I want one for my 813 too. I havent seen one for sale since I've owned my truck, but I'm not giving up. :)

Bulldog, How many cans/gallons of primer did it take for you to cover your 813? How many cans of green? Your truck looks great! Any more tips? I have an 813 that is going to get a new paint job in May or June along with a bunch of other work and I'm stocking the supplies now. I'm debating doing...
