I just lift my m1028 4" and am running the HMMWV 37" tires. It's a good fit but any serious bumps in the road will make it clip the fenders, it's my daily highway driver I'm not concerned about it and haven't had an issue yet. Stock height I believe 33" is the max tire size without rubbing but...

That should be enough, I've gotten around the Ft Hood area doing exactly that. My personal advice is don't stop at a station as it's a POV (privately owned vehicle) and you'll confused the guys there as military vehicles with all sorts of special exemptions and etc..but of course the obligatory...

Having owned 3 here's a few tips: Check the rear hub temps early into your journey, the brakes tend to stick if sitting to long. The air lines are barely able to stretch through a tight turn, best bring air lines extensions with gladhands or else you may pull them out. There are no "right on...

Got my 4" lift and 37" tires installed, went with steel spacers for the front as I don't trust the aluminum ones. Though my CUCV is technically an m1028 it's really outfitted like an Jr. m1031 so I may end up giving it its own nomenclature when all is said and done. As far as the 4" lift goes...

Looking great! I outta hire you to put a winch on my CUCV!

I disagree, it's more of a learning aid when no visuals are present. The probability of them learning the proper nomenclatures right and mixing it up are far greater than if they got clear logical information they could remember then clarified.

I agree the "A0" designation doesn't exist but it is helpful when teaching people who have no experience in the military field or hobby. Saying M923, M923A1, M923A2 out loud gets tiresome and confuses them with all the numbers being spurt about not to mention all the other models of that series...

If I'm working on an MV (excluding long drives) I have on steel toes..not sure why one wouldn't with this stuff.

Glad to see everyone again including new faces, I'm also glad I wasn't called to winch anyone out with the wrecker this year :razz:. Trailboss: You're not giving me much hope once I load up all my tools in the M1028 but then again I don't have the big box or covered trailer to pull around. NDT...

Convoy to the Museum of the GI. Pre-reenactment line up of US armor. Drive back at night, love the LEDs!

Lay it on me! Let me know when you plan to swing by. [thumbzup]

A pickup wont be able to tow this trailer, it's 11K lbs empty and designed to be pulled by a HEMTT. It will require at least a 5 ton as it stands a good chance of pushing around a deuce at highway speeds.

Correct.

Is there a member passing though/by Killeen (Ft Hood) on their way to the rally? I won an M989A1 that needs to find its way here.

On another subject I have two Goodyear 16r20s with 80% tread for sale. $100/ea or trade for 14r20.

I have an M936A2. My yard is 2 miles from the ranch so if anyone needs something major moved we can plan it to all be moved at one time or just come over to my yard and do it there as time permits.

My wipers are starting to act up but have different symptoms. They will work great on all settings but every so often they will stop in the up position and not move for a unknown amount of time. I've not found a pattern of when they start doing it except when I need them most so it seems...

I'm bringing a number of pre-paid items on Saturday to the museum for pickup. For those wondering what I have can check the classifieds or even arrange to stop by my yard (I'm 2 miles away form the Off Road Ranch). Looking for a mounted 14r20 tire!

Looks awesome but where's the cup holders?

Have a CO2 extinguisher on hand and ready when firing her up. A few stories on SS go to show one in the right place would have saved the engine and one from kicking him/her self in the butt afterwards.
