    M818 recovery questions.

    Just make sure it stays locked. Ive only been on this site for a few months and would trust just about 99.9% percent of the guys here. But theres alot of lurkers and like I said about Ft Riley, theres nothing ever left in those trucks.

    M818 recovery questions.

    Good to know about the blem batts. I was at napa yesterday pricing belts and hoses and oils and all that stuff. They wanted $128 bucks each for group 31. How much brake fluid should I bring? The Lube Order doesnt give a capacity.

    M818 recovery questions.

    Still waiting on the EUC, but in the mean time Im trying to gather up the stuff I need to take. StreetBikeDepot went and looked over the truck for me and sounds like I should be able to drive it home if the brakes work. Those didnt get checked specifically but there are no obvious signs that...

    Gin Poles Finished

    Is there any reason you coulnt put some wood blocks (cribbing) between the springs and the frame to keep them from compressing? or something like some big jack stands under the front of the frame or bumper like stabilizers on a crane to keep all the extra weight off the front tires? This isnt...
