Eric, Here are the Michelin XDY-1's I'm putting on the rear. The fronts get XDY-2's (same tread, just new instead of new retreads). They are mounted on 6 lug bud wheels that are 22.5. These tires are approximately 42 inches high and approximately 9 inches wide (8.5 not on the ground) with...

rizzo, While I will have to check with DrF, between Randy and I we have about 20 of these wheels with the rings. DrF said he wanted a second set, so let me talk to him. We MIGHT be able to send you a set, but I gotta first get the OK with the Doc that he doesn't want both sets. Besides...

Last time we went down to Cold War Remarketing, I think Patrick Robb had both a Ferret AND a Hagglund. But that was a few weeks ago. I think JR climbed all over a Saracen also, but my memory is a bit week. We should go back out there and just look around again. jim

Eric, I FLAT LOVE the double bumper idea. I may just steal that. Talk about a 'killer' push bumper. You don't even need a tire. Just 'jump on it' type of thing. I LOVE IT!!! GREAT JOB!! And I love the boxes on the back. Are they a stock item somewhere? Particularly the ones mounted...

The guy on ebay is Franks Surplus. If you call him, he will sell you one for $50. At least that's what I purchased one from him for. It's the 24v convertor to 12v made for the military. He said he uses his for CB and his stereo radio. And Frank is a REALLY nice guy and has been excellent...

I got a voice mail from DR at 4:46pm MST. I posted his travel update under conversations. If a mod would like to move it over here, that's fine with me. Just was NOT sure where to post it. Hookin1, Do you sell the paint? Or know where I could get it. I am NOT adverse to spray cans or...

I've purchased a few things from Frank. I called him and actually got as good a price, if not better than what he sells on ebay. He took about ten bucks off an M151 rubber boot set. I think I'll call them later today about this one. Thx for the heads up. jim

Gerhard, Do you have a Zippo lighter? Do you ever put lighter fluid in it? That's what Naptha is. Lighter fluid. Although I TOO am by no means a chemical engineer, nor do I play one on TV. So the stuff you put in your Zippo could have all sorts of additives. I can buy Naptha at my local...

hookin1, I FLAT LOVE YOUR PAINT JOB! Dude, it's excellent. What are the colors? Mine needs a repaint and THAT is awesome. jim

da sgt, Yeah, and I have a growing 'stash' of parts. I recently picked up four in tank fuel pumps for $80. Three worked and one had a dead motor. Of the three, one was NOS. I gave that to RandyLBarnes, because he had one in his tank that gave up the ghost. We are NOW trying to find if the...

Don't get excited. I am getting ready to swap out to super singles. I will pick up six of the eight wheel/tires tomorrow, given the snow we are having right now. I will have twelve 9x20 wheels with really bald tires on it. I think I'm going to give them to DrFoster. He just needs me to...

Bjorn, While I understand some may read what Doc posted and take offense, if you know him, you KNOW that he's not trying to ding anyone. He just disagrees. PASSIONATELY for sure, but still just a disagreement. Perhaps he comes off a bit short. But hey, if you'd been and done what he's been...

Doc, I took a gasket rebuild set for a holley carb I had laying around. I put in ONE OUNCE of acetone and seven ounces of unleaded. Granted that WAY MORE acetone that the mix calls for. I miked the rubber gaskets before they went in. Every day I turned over the sealed glass jar and always...

Doc's just passionate about his wheels, that's all. I know him. He doesn't get upset. Well, not at OTHER PEOPLE. Maybe with himself every once and a while, but that's another can of worms. WE ALL DO THAT. Hey Doc, have you tried acetone yet? I've been using it for more than a year now. I...

kaiserjeep, Are you sure you are losing oil from the engine? The ONLY reason I ask is I have a similar amount of oil that showed up on the bottom of my oil pan and immediately thought a)crankcase venting or b) leaking front axle boot. STRANGELY ENOUGH, I blew all the oil and crap off the front...

That's what TWO fuel tanks are for, RIGHT? jim

Your speedo shows 012552. SO, if it DOES have 100,000+ miles someone rolled the speedo back. CONGRATS. Glad to see the better body. I was a bit concerned when I was scrolling down past the one missing the body. That would have been a difficult (not impossible, but certainly expensive)...

I don't know about them, but I've had great luck with LMC Trucks. Their pad is $100 more, but I' pretty sure it is an OE fit. http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/bzc/0045.html

Ok, APC bringing up the rear. Hummer in the middle. What's that leading the convoy? A truck? If so, did you eyeball what kind of truck? jim

forklift, I ASKED that exact same question! Bjorn posted a different picture. Here is MY post, scroll down to the bottom: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=38861&highlight=#38861
