    Biggest tires on an M1028 with stock height

    Yes, those are the tires.

    Hind Sight 20x20!

    Not really hind sight but I will tell you from experience that all that stuff in the TMs that's not quite so clear, will be absolutely clear when you are sitting in the truck. You will be so thankful you read them when it's time to own one. My best thought is don't try to make it something it's...

    Biggest tires on an M1028 with stock height

    I found this pic on the web a while back whilst searching for the 255 tires. I had them on a K30 dually back in the 80s. The fit without lift or fender nipping.

    Official 2013 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR13 thread

    Gimpy has to show up. He has one of the upper berths for my ambulance and my laptop from hades.

    M1009 recovery and first start up after possible 10 years sitting.

    That's great. The M1061A1 I just snagged came from a Sheriff's Office. They've had it since 98 and it's never left the property. In reference to pulling power with the 700R4, unless there are mechanical issues with the tranny, it should only help in pulling. The 3.06 first gear is a true...

    extra fuel tank outlet?

    You can draw off of it but not gravity feed. You could probably get a siphon going too it you worked at it. Pretty sure it was used to fire the fuel fired engine heaters in the arctic kits. Makes a great emergency line to draw fuel if your other line develops a leak.

    fuel tank upgrade - M1009

    I have dual 20s on mine.

    Re: Hand Operated Winch-Lift Hoist

    What would be a good search term on that auction site. I can't find it.

    M1008 Lift Kits - Seek advice on size ( 2,4,6 inch) & type: block or reverse shackle

    Axle wrap from blocks has always been an issue. Not as much on a 1 ton with heavy springs. Either way has been done in the past with great success. What are the tasks your truck will primarily be used for? This dictates alot of how you should go. Shackle flips seem simple and effective and...

    Official 2013 Georgia Rally Buy/Sell/Trade/Giveaway Thread

    Chris, Bobby Bell may have one or more. I got a brand new one from him last year. Drew, my question was hypothetical in nature. We can go back and delete it if you think it's best. I will not be involved in any firearm sales or related issues.

    Official 2013 Georgia Rally Buy/Sell/Trade/Giveaway Thread

    I may bring some plinking wares to take down to the range. Here's a hypothetical question. Can FL resident Oddball sell FL resident Recovry4x4 a firearm whilst in the fine state of GA?

    700R4 Swap Into M1009

    Need to change the input gear of the transfer case from the current 32 spline to a 27 spline input.

    Official 2013 Georgia Rally Buy/Sell/Trade/Giveaway Thread

    I may be in the market for 2 of the HMMWV highback seats that flooded the market last year. Problem is I can't afford gold plated.

    Cant find a part

    TM 9-2320-289-20P. Figure 46 Item 2. Switch, cold advance. 14071047. Even the Tms have a search box, took me a minute to find it by searching the word "temperature".

    M101 Camper request?

    Unless you get a camper for a small truck, you will need the M101A3 to carry one. All but the -A3 only have 45" between the inner fenders.

    School me...

    ME registration is always an alternative with trailers.

    Little paint for the M5A1

    Wow. What a difference. I looked inside that tank before the current owner bought it. It was very crusty.

    How much wood will a m101 or a m416 haul?

    I would think the M416 would struggle with a half cord if it even phyisically fit. As Gimpy pointed out, that multifuel he toted tips the scales just over 3000# in the can. Not bad for a trailer rated 3/4 ton (or mabe had the 1 ton upgrade).

    Possible Rim Alternative

    Well, if it's in fact from an aircraft landing assy, I would think 55-60 MPH would be no problem.

    24 VDC, 150 Amp Gen Set

    Might try Saturn Surplus. Those are powered by the 4A032 mil standard engines and saturn used to have boatloads of parts. NOS 4A032 enignes are still out there!
