    anyone want to trade an m101 for m105???

    Dont shoot the messenger. Its been pointed out in several "rule breaking" threads, that the mods and the site owner would like us to police ourselves. Theres nothing wrong whith helping a new guy learn the ropes.

    New Memeber, New to MV, Need M101 Advice Please

    All parts are readily available (especially easy if your a member here) and the a2 and a3 will take the same 8lug wheels. The a3 just has more room for HMMWV wheels but it will take a standard 8 lug that the a2 has.

    817 going to the scrap yard

    Thats a downfall of deciding to change your user name without going through the admin and seeing if they will change it for you. Edit: unless he did and they changed it and reset his post count, well then that would sucks.

    Newbie!

    Not true. Best not to ask a question that can be answered with a simple search. And dont complain about the same thing over and over and over.

    5 ton truck question.

    Its not a 809 series 5ton for sure. I'm not sure if the older model 5tons have the front tires centered in the wheel well like that truck has. With the winches on the back like that I'm betting its a 10ton. If the price is right you could probably buy it and flip it. 10tons are getting rare.

    5 ton truck question.

    Its the other way around. Thats what makes the sprauge engage. In the mud, if the front gets mired down and the rears start to spin faster than the front the sprauge will catch and spin the fronts.

    5 ton truck question.

    If the tires are bigger in the front they would be turning slower than the rears and the t-case would try to engage the fronts. Edit: If they are considerably bigger.

    Home made rims

    :ditto: Those were built for light weight mud/rockcrawlers that have rockwells under them. You'd have to be a complete idiot to put them under a 13,000 pound deuce. :roll: (some peoples kids :-?, what can you do about them)

    Dangerous Situation Today With My M1009

    Never pass up an opportunity to buy tools!:-P If you can afford to buy the right tool, do it, you'll use it again. If you can't then yes, screw drivers and picks will work. (they will cause more cussing though.

    Rear stabilizer leg installed....?'s

    I would leave it free swinging to the rear. Someday you WILL drive off and forget its down. That will keep it from bending up the rear crossmember.
