    Adding pintle hook to front bumper of M923 - Estimated weight capacity?

    I'm definitely going to say it's going to depend on your reinforcing of the mounting location and how it's tied into the frame. You might be able to get it up to half the rating with proper reinforcing, possibly more. But I don't think it's going to be used very often or for extended periods...

    M1070 HET - Suitable for Toter-Home Conversion?

    For a time I was considering heavier off road vehicles for the expedition build I'm wanting to do but I trimmed it down for a couple reasons that might not be a concern to others. First reason I found out there are weight limits in some park/game lands, this is due to conservation issues for...

    MWD Deployable kennel

    Yea I'm interested in it because I'm going to start traveling from place to place and there will be a few times that the dog won't be able to stay by my side as much as I'd like. The climate control is the feature I'm most interested in but the logistics is cool too because you have all that...

    Lost and Found, a 50+ year journey

    That's why I like Zippo products they are really are still a family styled business and you can have them repair any lighter of theirs all the way back to the very first product they made in 1935. I also have a ideal where I prefer local businesses and Zippo is still based in Bradford PA. They...

    Simp's M920 build thread

    This is rare to see, glad I'm not the only one. An old family friend taught me body work and he hated to use bondo I watched him drill holes into a piece he couldn't access the other side and use a hardened steel L shaped rod with a T handle to pull it out from the inside. He then filled the...

    Looking at buying M927 or FMTV

    I agree with that I love working with metal, and a vehicle is where you can really show off skills like welding and forming. Sent from my SM-A102U using Tapatalk

    Looking at buying M927 or FMTV

    I have found several pictures of the containerized housing units, however I can't find anything on the AAR does AAR stand for after action review in this case or am I using the wrong terms? I'm mostly only familiar with the equipment used by petroleum handling units and comms. Sent from my...

    Looking at buying M927 or FMTV

    Looking at buying M927 or FMTV

    To get RV plates you need cold storage, cooking facilities, a table and a bed installed that would bypass CDL granted if I had the room in the cab I could get that in a day with parts I already have. Sent from my SM-A102U using Tapatalk

    Looking at buying M927 or FMTV

    I didn't think of the tractor units, does anyone know if you need a CDL to drive a 5th wheel with no trailer? It falls well under the GVWR for my state. Sent from my SM-A102U using Tapatalk

    Looking at buying M927 or FMTV

    This is my first post so go easy on me and please move if this is the wrong section for this. I'm a military brat so I've been eyeing the green iron since I was very young but couldn't join due to my health issues. I am now looking at the 5 ton long frames for a camper. I know that I want a...
