I have enough parts left over to make 2 more of these 22mm socket mounts if anyone wants to do the same thing.

Niceties are fun but I do love capabilities too like the detroits you mention. Heated seats would be a good one and I still need to do an air bag for the driver seat. lately I've been tossing around the idea of adding a RT-524 radio under the passenger seat to plug in to my intercom...

It took a bit to figure out the way the ball & socket mechanism was constructed and it's actually really simple and strong. There are several fingers that are a molded part of the square plastic plate and then there is a circular metal spring wrapped around those fingers like the oem heater...

After annealing: Time to drill some new holes in the post & cowl. The third hole is for the GPS antenna wire. Grommets installed and wires ran. The gauge cluster and defroster deflectors will hide the wires and the GPS puck. I found some of my wife's craft wire and put it to work...

OK - one last project before the snow flys! 😁 For as sexy as an M813 with a cargo cover is, it has a massive blind spot behind it which could hide a Prius or a taco truck or even a short bus full of children. I installed a rear view mirror that is actually a backup camera to show me the...

TNJMurray is on the east coast and they also have them in stock

Yeah...I had random drops of rain hitting me in the face. No clue where they came from.

Just to put up some info... I just weighed my M813A1 on 16.00R20s with 1 passenger in the cab and a full size spare in the bed and my axle weights are: Front - 10,860 lbs Mid - 6,500 lbs Rear - 6,160 lbs I was surprised to see that the rears were not equally loaded being that they mount to the...

I was really enjoying the functional heater on this trip rolling through my home town.

Washington state has almost all the different landscape types; forested coastal region, wet mountain ranges, dry desert, rocky scabland, dry forested mountains, rolling hill wheat lands... So the west side is green and then the Cascade mountain range makes a huge rain shadow region in the east...

I finally brought my truck out to the farm to unload the old NDTs and I managed to get some pics next to my grandpa's old '45 US6x4 tractor! Two 5-tons side by side shows the difference 40 years can make:

This guy has a clever way of uprighting a tire when working alone:

It's good fun helping the rich guys spend their money. Then you can ask to borrow it. 😉

Even the army with their abundant supply of strong backs uses it...

Going to 16.00R20s does make it feel more agricultural at slower speeds

Hi - welcome to the club! I'm extremely biased but I think the M813 is the cat's minge! They're well built and there's good reason the military extended their service life from 20 years to 40 years. 3 things to be aware of: 1. Be careful rolling backwards by pushing in the clutch. If you...

Well thank you sir. I've finally finished my big projects and now I can enjoy it more and work on it less 😁

Lots of adventures this weekend, but I took a detour on my 212 mile round trip to snag a picture of my machine on the Burma Road! I drove up to a killer car show and made an epic entrance by lighting up the jake brakes all the way into the parking area. There was a good turnout at the small...

Looks good. On my M813 brakes I was able to leverage the brake shoe away from the wheel cylinder with a large flat screw driver and then I could pull those push rod things out of the cylinder with no need to remove any springs or keepers.

If the axle were on two jack stands and perfectly level with a flat floor the wheel dolly would work well to do a wheel seal
