    500 gallon tire?

    When they are in their "Use by Date" they are fine.. After that, they are susceptable to cracking, and thats when they fail.

    M925A2 Antennas

    Cargo trucks dont get the EPLRS system. I know they are authorized to, but I never saw one that did. Plus, you'll never find one out in civy life, and even if you did, you dont have the litterally multimillions of dollars of other commo stuff and vehicles that are needed to make the EPLRS system...

    Deuce manufacturers

    Problem is that each truck had different "options" that were factory, or can/cant be added later on by the military, or MV'ers. Winch, hardtop, dropside, turbo, etc.. While it's the same truck, there are too many other factors that cloud the situation. When Colt mades the M1911, the...

    Need Advice...M1009/m105a2

    Those pics also clearly show the major differences between the M101/M101A1 and M101A2/A3's The tan one is a M101 or M101A1, without the surge brakes, and with the "old style" M37 rims/tires. The one with the nice camo paint job is a M101A2, and has the surge brakes (visible on drawbar behind...

    Need Advice...M1009/m105a2

    They are out there, just keep your eyes open. If you can find a model with Surge Brakes, thats even better (M101A2 & M101A3). The prices are higher for M101 series than for M105 series as the M101's are much more useful to many more people than the 1.5 tonners are.

    Need Advice...M1009/m105a2

    No, it wont be good. While it is possible to physically hook it up, the M105 trailer has air brakes, and is WAY TOO HEAVY for the CUCV... The trailer will push the CUCV arround.. It's rather unsafe... What you want AT THE MOST is a M101 series trailer (3/4 ton)... The -10 says a M416...

    Braden J2 winch install

    You engage and disengage the winch with the engine running. You just engage the clutch, and the pins in the clutch fit into holes on the pulley. I havent tried to start it up that way, nor will I.

    Braden J2 winch install

    I use the 100 foot of 3/4 inch rope for it. I have tested it, and used for seeing what I can go. I have yet to use it for "real", nor do I really want to, but it's nice knowing it's there.
