Upon further review, I don't think those bows are for the extended height cargo cover. They did make such covers, but I think they may be for a HEMTT like others have stated.

They made extended height cargo covers. I've also seen unit fabricated extended height cargo covers. I believe those bow assemblies are for that cover.

When last I saw Andrew in person in April, he had invited my wife and I over. When we were there, he insisted on opening a new bottle of Ron Zapata rum. He said, "they told me not to drink any alcohol, but how bad could it be for me given that I have cancer!" The three of us had a shot in his...

I am so sorry. I last communicated with him on 8/3. His message: Bruce, Things could be better. I won't bore you with the details other that to say I'm glad that Maurice is around to help me out. Andrew I had been in contact with him several times over the previous several weeks and, each...

As OSTEO16 said, I always get titles, not the SF97. I dealt with this previously with GOVLIQUIDATION. At first, they tried to give you a notarized letter indicating they were reassigning said vehicle to you. That did not work in Maryland. Then, they got wise and eventually started issuing...

I once had the same problem with a leaking power steering assist cylinder. I don't recall the overspray issue so the cause may have been different. In my case, I had a truck that was being used in an Army mechanic's school that had like 125 miles on it when I got it (verified by CARNAC back in...

I don't think you will see any of those colors (brown or multi-color) on CURRENT trucks, unless they happen to put a tan (or black) painted rim on a truck (from another truck). The military tends to paint all the rims on one truck the same color these days. Mostly, I see black, especially on...

Back when 4 color MERDC was the camo scheme, you would regularly see rims painted in brown. I had an M151A2 that had two brown rims and two green rims...it appeared as though the rims were painted in the color that dominated that area of the truck. I don't recall seeing any in solid black...

It might be silver roof paint.

MULLANEY, I'd love to hear how well the A/C works.

I like the way you think! The ice chest would be most important!

I always wanted a UTV with an enclosed cab with A/C and heat. I could never stomach the cost. I got my Ranger from my brother for FREE! It is a 2007 and it had only 56 hours on it (I have owned it for about three years). I could not pass up FREE. It does everything I need and more. But...

I want to preface my comments by saying I don't have one and really know nothing about them, other than what I read on this site or watch on YouTube. I personally think they are fairly cool looking. To me, they look like a more modern M151. My big problem with them is that several (many?)...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I see a prior poster (G744) said that he thinks the Goodyears look better. I have had trucks with the Goodyears on them, but I thought the XLs were the more aggressive looking off road tire (back in the day...now I prefer the XZLs). There was a point...

The "wavy" sidewall is how the tires come from the factory. I had multiple sets of new tires back in the day. The XLs were my go to tire. I used to get them from John Winslow in NC (God rest his soul). I put them on everything years ago. Now, I wouldn't touch them, but it has nothing to do...

As Wes stated, the XLs are generally 18+ years old at this point. They are NOT failing because there is some inherent design flaw. They are not prone to blow outs or failure per se. They just are old tires at this point. If we were in 1999 or 2001, those tires would be the best you could...

Sorry for the multitude of posts, but I have a lot of thoughts on this. About five years ago, it snowed about 34 inches in my area, with more in drifts. I took my M925A2 out and it pulled it's way through the snow up and down paved hills. I have a video somewhere. I'll try to locate it on an...

...and I concur with the chains suggestion. I used to have an M125 ten ton cargo. It was not the greatest in snow. One time, I attempted to blast through drifts of up to 4 feet with regular snow in the 24-32 inch range. The truck made it, but it took a lot of backing up and forging ahead. I...

I previously read a military report from the 50s on the super singles. Recall that the military tried singles in the 50s on 2-1/2 and 5 ton trucks while simultaneously also using duals on the same trucks. The singles were actually deemed superior to the duals off-road in both mud and snow...

I wonder what the stump in the M105A2 weighs. That trailer is really squatting down. I've had around 8,000 pounds of seasoned hardwood in mine, and it never squatted down like that.
