    Headed to Barstow 3/8

    Thanks, They are recentered 12 bolt HMMWV wheels w/ mil OZs and rubber runflats. I really like the combo. If I were to do it again though, I would go with spacers and stock HMMWV wheels. Ryan

    Headed to Barstow 3/8

    Hey Jerry, I certainly can not make any guarantee, but if I had the resources I would not hesitate to buy one with the intension of driving it home. I would want to have the tools and supplies to do the required maintenance and safety tests. If you have the know how to field prep one then I...

    Headed to Barstow 3/8

    I almost forgot. The M35a3s all appear serviceable less the leaky CTIS valves. Ryan

    Headed to Barstow 3/8

    Well 1000 miles and 24 hours later and I am back with a range report. The weather is sunny and the wind is calm. If you are buying a 5 ton or larger then have a blast. If you are buying a deuce approach with caution. The ones in this weeks and next weeks auction that I saw are pigs. Rating...

    Coast to coast (almost) need a full load

    I have not firmed anything up yet. I am, as of yesterday, I waiting on EUC for 2 m101a2/3s in AL for the trip back. So at least 2-3 weeks. I am flexible but the longer I wait the more likely the trailer will be full on the way back. Have a vertical compressors, a 250 amp welder, and...

    Barstow Inspection

    Yeah, I got the appointment last week. They will help me load but I do not want to get 400+ miles out and not be able to recover because of mechanical issues or flats. I have bought trailers in the past and they were not the same as the ones pictures during the auctions. I got lucky. It will...

    Coast to coast (almost) need a full load

    I will haul things for free, if they do not cost a bunch of fuel, to help other members. I'de prefer to move more stuff for the same trip than get paid. I was looking more for good faith than trying to make any money. It will cost me $1200.00 plus in fuel round trip alone. If I can recoupe...

    Coast to coast (almost) need a full load

    I would prefer to stay off the bases if possible. It takes time out of my trip and they are usually Tuesday-Thursday pick up. With more notice I can be more flexible on the days I travel. If you can get someone to hold them off base that is flexible on load time I will be willing. I cannot seem...

    Coast to coast (almost) need a full load

    I am planning a trip from Tucson to Atlanta and back in the next few months/weeks. I will be taking my F250 crew cab. I have a goose neck hitch and also ball and pintle adapters. I will be willing to transport people supplies trailers and vehicles either way. I will have a 26’ dovetail on...

    If you mean ford 6.9L. I had one with more than 400K miles on it. Plumbing truck, farm truck, then my truck. The engine ran like a clock, even after having gas in the tank. (don't ask) Of course the rest of the truck was tring to fall appart around me. Ryan

    Barstow Inspection

    If anyone is out at Barstow in the next couple of week I would really appreciate a post sale inspection on a couple of trailers that I purchased. I just need to know if I need to bring tires and be aware of any major mechanical defects. I would also like to know if there is any loading...

    humvee vs Hummer wheels

    The mag RFs are roughly 7 in wide while the two different rubber ones are roughly 6.5 in. Also, the rubber will compress some. I think the difference is in the bead of the tire. The OZ seems denser and somewhat thicker/heavier; even though the exterior measurement is the same. I am told that...

    humvee vs Hummer wheels

    I am trying to run 12 bolt rims with magnesium run flats and the Wrangler MT OZ 37 12.50 R16.5 tire. I am having trouble seating the bead lock enough to get the center seal to work. Anyone with direct experience with this combination have advice on this?

    Another way to Bob a Deuce!

    Ok, I'll bite why chop up deuces or trailer. You could easly four link the rear for the price of a good trailer. Throw some bags under there. Easy. You already have an air system. They are quite reliable. Cut the OE bed to length (Personally prefer that), and call her good. Btw there are after...
