    FYI!!! HEMTT rims....

    Do the budcaps need to be machined so the wheel will still sit tight up against the hub?

    FYI!!! HEMTT rims....

    So do the rears go on with or without the budcapps under them? Are these wheels hub-centric? That skinny stud in such a wide hole sure doesnt look safe.

    Kansas City roll call!

    Can you take POV's out on the tank trails? Ive seen lots of stuff over there I'd love to take my Jeep on. Dave, I work in KC all week down near Bass Pro. If I didnt have to drive from Manhattan and back every day this week I'd come up today just to check it out.

    Do we have an official Bobbed Deuce picture thread? If not, here it is! Post em!

    The cargo covers make these trucks look so much better. They look good without them but to me the bed looks like the sides are to low. With the cargo cover you dont see that. If I had the time and money Id take a 105 bed and cut the wheel well out and build it to match the size of the front...

    Looking for a M818 Tractor

    MSgt Lee the GL rep at Norman took a few days off and let some "kid" as he put it,. handle the GL loadouts and said he ended up shipping the wrong trucks to the wrong people so he went out and painted the remaining trucks with the new owners names. Tell you what it felt good to walk up to the...

    Looking for a M818 Tractor

    I took a risk and went the GL route. Just a tick over $3000 out the door. Jumped it on the lot, added some power steering fluid and drove it 300 miles home. It needs a few things to make it in "great condition" but as is Id say it's in pretty good shape. As for driving, it'll only do 50-55 on...

    My first 5-ton!

    I want to see if I can find some 16's relatively close (cant aford to ship them) I havent decided on what brand/tread I want yet. As for the dish in or out I dont know, I guess I was assuming you had to run them dish in (rim bolts sticking out)on the front and dish out on the rear. If thats not...

    M818 questions--year built--greese fitting

    Did that truck come from GL looking that good? Do you have a pic of this grease tube?

    My first 5-ton!

    I'd like to find out too. I just picked mine up and want to know how it works. I thought I read somewhere that it will only engage if you start out in first gear, either high or low range. Most of my trip home I started out in second. Ive also hear that if it is engaged and your at a stop you...

    HEMTT rims on GL

    Back on topic, those rims are heavy! I got some small body modifications to the floor of the Jeep from the ones I had back there. To fit three back there we had to stand them on end instead of laying them down and I was certain there were a few bridge crossings where the Jeep had to have come...

    Yeah Im sure I was getting pretty close to the load limit of both the tow vehicle and and the towbar :-P Got the towbar put away today. Ive been thinking the color of that tractor just doesnt fit in my driveway anymore.

    Here we go long distance deuce recovery

    Wow! 2500 miles? It took me 8 hrs to go 300+/-. About 3 hrs in I told myself (with ear muffs and know one but your self to talk to) that unless I have the $$$ to ship Im not buying anything thats not local. By the time I got home I felt like I could turn around and do it over and probably will...

When the bids were closing I was watching 6 trucks and 1 bidder had 3, another guy had 2 and I had the last one. I wonder if they planned it that way or were just...
