I saw that being done on Youtube. It reminds me of pulling a calf out of a cow. (Incredible Dr. Pole) If I was going to keep the tires I would have done that. However, the tires were trash and it took 15 minutes to do all 5 my way. I bet it took at least 15 minutes each to do it your way.

Got the new master cylinder and solenoid valve for the truck late this afternoon. Will try to install them Saturday.

I gave up on the idea of adding the trailer hitch to the truck. Now that I have a M1008 I can use it to tow civilian trailers. I got a deal on 7 new super single tires for the truck. I also won 8 new wide rims from OKC GL site. My friend Juan also got a set and he will be recovering both...

Got a great deal on some HMMWV tires and rims for the truck. Brand new 37" Goodyears. I got 5 HMMWV rims with damaged tires still on them. I spent yesterday taking the rims off the tires. It was quite a struggle but I got them all done! I asked a friend on suggestions of how to pull the...

Is that 30 miles with a flat tire or just 30 miles inflated? How far can you drive on a flat tire? A run flat can get you off of a busy road and to a safer location. Worth the price of a tire?

I think this thread should be moved tot the rally or event categories.

I think this could be a rally that would be an awesome experience. There are some awesome vehicles on the base we can drool at. The museum is also a great place to experience our military history with some nice exhibits of weapons and vehicles from our history. For some of us that have not...

I did some research on how to remove and reinstall Hutchinson Run Flats into HMMWV tires. I got a great deal on some HMMWV radials and rims. The rims had defective tires on them that I needed to remove. Most of the mounted tires were bald and 2 were blow-outs. I got them for the rims and...

I put my cut off switch further back on the same side wall. You can't see it even when looking for it. I actually have to feel for it to get the key in. I also put a hasp and padlock on the other side so no one can get to the batteries or switch. Actually by using the nut rivets you make it...

Today I tinkered around a bit with the fuel shutoff solenoid but it is still not cooperating. I also checked the brake master cylinder and it is definitely leaking. Looks like I am buying new replacements for them Monday. I also checked the coolant in the radiator. It was nasty with lots...

You are welcome to do so. That is why I posted all the info. Glad you think it's good enough to duplicate.

Nice truck. Picture #4 is the best view.

My first M820A2

Nice looking job. Can't wait to see the rest.

A bit more progress today. I installed the coolant bypass filter assembly on my truck. I installed one on all my truck to keep the rust floating in the coolant down to a minimal. I also tested the solenoid fuel shot off and found that it was the solenoid not the switch that is not...

Tried to make it to the auto repair shop to get some work done on my truck, but could not get the truck started. After testing the fuel lines and connections I tried to pressurize the fuel tank. Still no luck starting the truck! Since I was getting fuel the IP but just a trickle on the return...

Should be Slidell, LA to Cuba, MO

I ordered some for a different project. I got 1 sheet 1/2" and one sheet 3/4" in black medium density.

Today I managed to get another project out of the way. I got the fuel filter setup upgraded to spin-on filter assembly. I purchased a WIX filter base and filter from AMAZON.com. It had 1/2" NPT intake and output and 1-14" center stem. The WIX filter I got is rated 14 micron fuel/water...

If you can't get sleeping bag mats you can buy polyethylene foam online. It comes in different densities and thicknesses. Here is a link to their website. http://www.foambymail.com/PE2-_1/polyethylene-foam-sheets-2-2lb.html I think my order included free shipping. Great stuff.
