Really you need a degree to understand that a weakness is a flaw? I thought that was just simple lexical issue? ****... first I learn that the US never lost the Vietnam War. And now I'm learning that Flaw is some how a super technical term like "superposition or entanglement".... But good to...
1800 or so years ago Hannibal won all of his battles in the Second Punic War against Roman. In fact in one day he killed more Romans than anybody in History... He still lost the Second Punic War.
Winning the battles is only important if they help you achieve your overall objective. After...
I'm not going to be baited into this argument. What ever you want. The US Always Wins... The Trucks are just brilliant in design. I know nothing. I'm just a trouble maker... All of you are so much better...
1) I knew two of my ARB's would come on Thursday because well Seven Springs Complete was nice enough to send me the UPS tracking information. So I was able track my packages delivery times from the moment they sent them out the door in Iowa from their warehouse until it reached my front door...
That's not politics... He asked did the M35A2 serve in a war that we lost-- well technically speaking the Vietnam Conflict was the first time out for the M35's and we lost it. So, yes, we lost a conflict in which the M35 served. I am simply stating a fact. I don't care about the reasons for the...
I have some problems with your statements given the design of the truck itself. But sure I'll bite it isn't an off road truck. So what than are 2.5 ton trucks doing with things like winches, extreme fording capability, extreme suspension travel, ground clearance and 6wd? These aren't features...
Well read the specs at Tatra.A.s...
And the Tatra design has been around since like 1923.... The basic central tube and swinging independent half-shafts. They've used this design on trucks since the 1930's up to today.
These trucks can work in areas with a full load that would amaze you.
Actually, the Tatra T-815 or T-813 trucks do everything that M35A2 does: fuel tankers, recovery trucks, cargo, personal carriers, and so on and so forth. They run in 6x6, 8x8, 10x10 or 12x12 configurations. The point I'm making is simply this, the Tatra Trucks were designed to operate well both...
Yeah, well I would disagree with this statement: "... conclusions would have passed a cost/benefit analysis." After all every one of our competitors use air-lockers in their trucks-- how expensive can it be. The facts are simple if you want a truck that works well off-road use Lockers. If you...
Aren't the Lockers on the Unimog 406 series selectable? That is you can turn them on and off? I've driven a Civilian Series Unimog from the 1970's and it had a dial that you turned on to put air pressure to the unimogs' air lockers.
Lockers do reduce turning radius- however, the lockers I...

There is no skill level in developing traction-- you either have it or you don't. Now matter the skill level if your vehicle is canted too much or with axles off the ground open differentials will level you stuck. The harder the terrain the greater the need for traction.
If you actually...
You just cut and pasted the Wikipedia entry about Eudaimonia... I didn't really see the humor in it. I was originally going to call myself Rolling_Eudaimonia_Machine but I think it was too long. The idea was that my welling being in some part is derived by the operating of my big fool truck...
Well true: when the all the differentials are all locked up (all three of them) it will be hard to turn. However, I will be setting it up as two separate circuits. Circuit A will be the front differential. Circuit B will be the rear tandems. So I will be able to select either front only, rear...
GImpyrobb-- there is no argument-- your premises are wrong, you conclusions are false and arguments you guys put forth are invalid. The video of you trying to climb a simple hill is priceless proof the basic design flaws of the M35A2 that my new ARB's will correct nicely... So calling people...
Where is the canal in Cape Cod??? I've not been to Cape Cod in 12 years I don't remember Canals out to the tip. But yeah a Canal would make it an island.
