Thanks for that! I love dogs and I love my military Chevies! I also like to get out of town and cruise the rural areas. It was really beautiful this evening, those Smoky Hills are rolling, tall grasses are all brown and the sun was setting on the way home. It is too grand to catch with a camera...

Cremo Ale That's cool, nice find, I wish I had a few cans! Glen

Thanks John, it would be hard to imagine life without them now. They are quite the entertainment package. I post a lot of these with the boys in them for a friend on the forum. I also enjoy seeing other people's pets enjoying life within the hobby. Glen

Hey thanks!! I am still trying to figure out how to get to Salt Lake City to get your sister M1009 home. This is my Jefferon City truck.... Anyway, off to Rock City.... This is a place that thousands of people have visited over the years and I suspect if it was better known, it would not be...

I wanted to go to Rock City, which we did.... but as we were passing through Minneapolis, I remembered this old mural on the lumber building. I always thought it was a cigar advertisement.... it is a soda advertisement. As I was taking the first photo, an employee came out and I could tell he...

The boys and I went for a short trip to get out of town for a few hours. All three of us had been cooped up for too long! I went to the doctor today and got released to go back to work. We visited a few old haunts, rather than try to get everything in one post, I will add a few replies. The...

Definitely a must for serious off road guys, I would like to have one under the bed too if and when I get my M818. I want a 4x4 with a deuce bed and a large winch at both ends. I never had a 5 ton, but I really would like to own one. On my M715 and my previous M1008, I found I used the rear...

My M1009 is very loud, loud enough that the GL rep asked me if it was supposed to sound like that. Loud enough that guys on the street turn to look when it is running cold. My buddy with the Unimog stands there an winces when I start it. It is much better when warmed up a little, but it is much...

I think some of them are timed higher than others and they rattle a lot harder. I am on my 5th 6.2 and one of my M1009s is by far louder than the rest of the trucks are. My first M1008 was also very loud. It was the one I put the most miles on and would probably still be driving had it not been...

I did not want to be cutting a couple of inches off for you... you are back to 2800 at 65.8 mph... Interesting thought on the radius and circumference of the tire though. True it is still the same distance around the tire, but would the patch in contact with the surface be flat and not round...

39" it is... 2575 at 65 mph... happy now? 8^) Roughly 55 at 2200 rpm.... nice cruising speed and rpm... Only I do not think you will find a 18.5" rolling diameter on these tires...

If you take out an inch for sidewall flex and wear, that is 2900 at 65, that's howling for a 6.2..... begging for relief... Just shoot up here among us, one of us needs some reliief.... They look like a great tire for the Kansas boy.... I had a 1967 Chevy K30 that I put 7.50x17 tires on a...

We do get some pretty awesome sunsets.... hard for a storm to sneak over the hill on us... What we run into around here is slick mud. Wide tires lose their drive and steering, they float on top and you go to the lowest point, which means in the ditch. We need a tire narrow enough that the...

How tall are these tires? 37.5 to 38" new? With no radius loss from sidewall flex under load, you are still turning around 2650 at 65 for a 38" tall tire, 2700 for a 37" tall tire. That is still humming for a 6.2. Much better than the 3150 it takes to run 65 on a 32" tire. I always got my best...

A "mule" kick directly to the kness, especially with a previous injury can do a lot of damage. I do not envy you any. I hope you get a green toy of some sort soon. I am really enjoyng the road speed, sound and easy handling of the M1009. Now I see why the Civilian Blazers were so popular. I...

The Pinz is a machine I always wanted to spend some time around. They are different enough to be very attractive for a mechanical nut like myself. I have some bad knee history in the family, seems like a weakness for us. My little brother has been scoped and Dad had both of his replaced. I...

LOL!!! No problem getting in!! I just Leash up Sir and let Buddy go to the truck. I am not man enough to stop those two when they think they are going to go for a ride. They have a lot more go than I do whoa!! My two wheel drive chassis does not stand a chance against the twin four wheelers...

Tuesday I had arthroscopic knee surgery on my right knee. They did a little cleaning up and between my doctor and my wife, I have been grounded all week. She went back to work today, so I went out and cleaned the snow off of the sidewalk, driveway and the M1009. Fired the old girl up, loaded up...

I am betting they work good, I like those tall narrow tires, at least for the part of the world I live in. Glen

I think I need to install a spotlight now so I can hang some linked brass on it... cool stuff... Seriously though, I would like to spend an hour or so with the guy to see what he thought he was creating.
