    m37 dump truck

    i guess part of it would depend on the condition of whatever is there. mostly the not so common parts like the hoist, box, tailgate. what is the wheelbase of this unit? the ones i've saw have had longer than standard 37 wheelbase.

    1200/20 tires

    i was thinking about them for my XM818. and i do need duals because of the weight that it gets and even if it never got loaded i would still run them for the look of duals.

    5 TON BOG

    i dont know about split shifting the 5 ton. the two that i drive are not split freindly. i have driven several two and a couple of three stick trucks but these dont seem to like spliting. maybe it's just my trucks but spliting down is easy it's the up split that seems to not go so well.

    Towbar

    i wonder if those axel clamps are availible for the tow bar that i have? can they be used to flat tow? or would flat towing with the axel clamps create to much angle on the bar? n3uka i bought mine from a guy in FL. he worked with me on getting it brought to within 200 mi of my house. when...

    Thanks for the tip. i will give it a go. this one looks different that the one i bought a month or so ago. i looked quite a while for the first one. Recovery 4x4 turned me on to that one. maybe somone can explain what this one that you found is for.
