;) Okay, I am taking the wheel apart to put on new tires. I had to get a new/bigger torque wrench to get the nuts to come loose. Now I have the nuts loose but the rust from sitting and never being cleaned is holding them very tight (along with the distorted lock-nut characteristics). I am...

I think the house testing is a good idea but I would need to waste a lot of water to get my well pump to kick in. I have a decent sized water storage tank. And, how would I get the hot water heater to kick-on right when I need it? I guess I could turn the hot water heater off for awhile prior...

It's funny, around here all I get is, "yeah, go ahead that off-road stuff it won't hurt nothin. Been doing it for years!". Mostly from the farm and construction guys. They know it's not legal, and so do I, but it seems common amongst the locals. Thanks for the warnings.

Thank you MUCH for the TM links Howdy. I noticed the fresh green paint on the filter as well. That is one of the reasons I decided to bid more than what I first expected to bid. After reading through a bunch of these generator threads and looking at the pictures I figured it was a good one...

I was wondering if that was what it was. I will check on the backside to see if there are outlets/connections when I pick it up.

As stated, won a generator today. I paid more than I wanted but between the trailer and the genset I am happy. The power went out here twice last month. Once for over a day and the other for about 7 hours so I decided to get a generator. We just moved up here so I imagine this happens...

The newer 5 tons drive so much better than the older ones. Mine drives straight with very little correcting needed. The ride is also smoother. Part of that is the large Van on the back but still, it has a much smoother overall ride. It costs more though. I think for what you are wanting...

Has anyone ever tried the "X" style O-ring for the combat rims? This one is a 1/4" style. I am not sure if I need the 1/4" or 3/8" but they do not have any 3/8" in this style. This is from McMaster. 466 18 1/2 19 18.455" 19.005" 1 90025K643 13.25

That 1061 looks perfect for what I was wanting to use it for. Thanks!

What would be a good trailer for towing behind my M934? Like ATVs, maybe even a car. In other words heavy duty but pintlehook style. I already have a standard dual axle tow behind. I was thinking M110 but longer. What have you used, what do you suggest?

Congrats! I like the look of those. What is the reason for buying it? Just for Fun?

Thanks, that helps fill in some informational gaps in the rebuild question area.

How do know if one of these trucks has been rebuilt? Is that where the A1/A2 designations come from? Then, how do you find out when it was done? I keep seeing private sellers saying a truck was 100% rebuilt by the military on such and such date? That is why I am asking.

It was a growing experience. LOL. That's the positive part of me. The negative part of me says, it sucked balls and I will never do it again. I'm a glutton for punishment though so, yes, I will probably do the auction thing again. However, I will be much better prepared...or I will have it...

Sleeping in the cab wasn't to bad actually. I had a sleeping bag but no mat for the back. I just used my sleeping bag as a pillow and put my coat over me. I slept with my head on the passenger side and feet at the drivers side. It wasn't great but it beat the metal floor in back. My bones...

Yep 98G, that is what I was thinking. The 395s being in better shape, for the most part, and more easily available. Both tires can be found brand new but older production tires, even new, won't stand up as long to equal amounts of use/abuse. Right now the truck goes 50-55mph without much...

I forgot to add, I am changing tire size from the 1400s to 395/85r20s. They are a tad smaller but they run better on the road at highway speeds. I'll do the small tweaks to the fuel pump and governor that I read about on this site so I can drive at 60mph comfortably. I think the A2 brake...

The reason I bought the truck is to turn it into a camper and tow rig. I have a '89 K5 Blazer I turned into a rock crawler. I pull it behind my truck when I go to long distance events and that prevents me from pulling a camper. I don't want a truck bed camper either. This truck is an...

Yep, the trip was not easy but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. No mechanical failures. I am really happy with the truck. Driving it was excellent. This truck drove better than any truck I had driven while active. I drove everything up to 15 ton tractors. Hauling large loads in a...

More Pics of the Journey Two of the pictures show the first tire I found to be bad and the checks after they had gotten bigger from when I had first departed the holding yard. The centrifugal forces of the tire tread pulling outward while going at highway speeds put enough tension on the...
