Just installed some 16r20s on my bobbed M818, went ahead and adjusted the limit bolts to eliminate the rubbing on the steering arm, but would like to improve the steering radius, so just ordered some 1 1/2" bridge truck spacers. So I need 1 1/2" longer studs, was in NAPA today and the longest...

As requested, I will put a build thread up of my 2 ton build (I think that would be the designation) . I aquired a 3/4 ton crew cab pickup from GL, it was used as a air force line truck as far as I can tell from the markings. It has 12 volt wiring, J code 6.2 which runs great, SRW. The truck had...

I finally recieved my 5 ton rim, and now have a spare:). I really appreciate you all hauling that thing around, and getting it as close to me as you did. Thank you all for your help.:beer:

I just aquired a "Mdl Uknw" crew cab from Gov. Liq., and have already recieved my "Paid In Full" invoice, so my recovery will have to be soon. From all the searches I've done, from what I understand the crew cabs were just civilian trucks, basically painted green. So does this meen they are 12...

After the 4 door conversion, and then adding the 14x20 tires, I enjoyed driving the truck so much, I decided to make it a toy hauler also. I added a 5th wheel civilian hitch under the flat bed, so I could tow my 5th wheel camper, I still need to finish the cover. My plan was to double tow a...

I was checking the fluid condition and levels on the 5 ton yesterday, all three axles look like the fluid was just changed, good news! Anyway, as I removed the plugs on the axles, all three axles released pressure as I was turning the plug out. It wasn't just a little amount, it seemed to be...

I figured I would post this, in hopes it may help someone else out. I was going to take the 5 ton out for a initial drive to see how she ran and handled, after I did the crew cab, I haven't had her out since Nov. of last year. I had started her up a few times, and let her idle, and she always...

My son and I spent the day finishing up the 5 ton, we added a different camouflage job, but created a lot of memories.

I have a few questions about 5th wheels for you experts. I have decided to try and keep the 5th wheel on my M818, but do to the fact I added a extended cab, I would move it back about 16", and remove the original ramps. My plan is to still build a flat bed around the 5th wheel, with a removable...

I've already decided I'm not going to eliminate a rear axle on my M818, I like the look and setup of the dual drive rear axles. But, I would like to eliminate as much of the turning resistance you get from the dual rear setup. Being I've never driven a 6x6 around, like I plan on doing with my...

I couldn't resist posting the latest on my extended cab M818 in the new section. Being I only get the weekends to work on her, the process is somewhat slow.:grd:

OK, I did a search, and can't find anything on modifying the spring seat to get more leg room. I already adjusted the pedals to the lowest point, and will probably be modifying them to add more notches, to get them lower. I have read in various threads, about modifying these seats to move...

Everything went very well, hooked up the M105, and headed through downtown Lansing, then to the expressway. About the only issue, was when it started snowing, I couldn't get the passenger window up all the way, and the snow was blowing inside the cab. Also, being 6'5" tall, it was very...

Is the official name of my new truck!!!! I'm finally a MV owner, and even if I need to get the truck home in pieces, I just can't help but be stoked about my new baby!!!!!!!! Lansing, Mi. Event 5464 Lot 5605. Now the paper work and wait. I am currently waiting on my M105 EUC to clear, which...

I just won my first GL item, it's a M105 trailer, so of course, awaiting the EUC to clear, I have been watching for a Deuce next. I have really been looking at all the awesome modded Deuces, and have determined a bobbed deuce would be the way to go for me. For driveability purposes. I...

M105A2 trailer, Event ID 5374, Lot # 5608. I probably won't get my EUC approved for a few more months or longer, so if anyone happens to be in the area, just wondering what it may need to tow it home?
