    M934A2 Expandable Off-Road capabilities

    My concern with a trailer offroad is not going forward, it's when having to back up. The bumperettes limit how tight the trailer can turn so it's easy to get it in a bind. That being said if you would rather not deal with a trailer and you want more than 12ft of length for a camper, then a...

    M934A2 Expandable Off-Road capabilities

    If you are leaving the trailer at camp then for offroad capability m932, m923, m1079, m934 in order from best-worst. The range trucks would get about 300-500 miles a year on the highway, spent most of their time offroad. The LMTV's got more highway miles because when it would break down...

    M934A2 Expandable Off-Road capabilities

    In order of offroad capability: m923 with s-280 best, m934 2nd, with all the others performing similar 3rd place offroad because of the trailer. For reliability I will NEVER trust a LMTV based on my experience with them while active duty. We had many vehicles on the demolition range and the LMTV...

    M934A2 Expandable Off-Road capabilities

    I'm wondering if the fuel pump or the transmission was not setup right on that m934a1. My m816 has gone up 4% grades with a m51a2 w/w on the hook at 25mph, 60-65k pounds and 395's for the tires. Couldn't get past the hole between 3rd/4th so stayed in 3rd. Fuel was turned up on my m816, pretty...

    M934A2 Expandable Off-Road capabilities

    My wrecker has the 5 speed manual with the cummins NHC250 engine. 1st gear is 6:1 in the trans and despite the 38,000+ pounds it does well offroad so long as I stay away from mud. Slow speed crawling it will go just about anywhere. My truck is from the older m809 series. Problem with the canvas...

    M934A2 Expandable Off-Road capabilities

    Those dirt berms are what, about 2ft high? Wouldn't be worried about getting over them with any of the setups. The truck is more offroad capable than you will be initially comfortable with. Mostly have to figure out how much space do you want/need, does it need to be indoors, and are you...

    M934A2 Expandable Off-Road capabilities

    For the best offroad performance with a 5 ton camper go for a tractor like 98G mentioned. If you want the camper always attached to the truck then pick up either the box from a M109 or a s280 shelter and secure it to the frame. Both of those are 12ft long, the s280 is a few inches narrower than...
