Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I like the three color camo paint job, it is more "serious official military" looking to me and will match my puny little Deuce's paint job. Besides, there was never a M125 series based wrecker anyhow, so I guess since I have a "quasi-official" truck any "quasi-official" paint scheme would work. But then again, semi gloss OD Green with white decal markings would be more period specific and a lot easier to do. Hmmm, you have me thinking....M1075 said:Why would you paint 3 color NATO? Were the 10 tons still in use when that came out?
If only I could find a set of 20" rims to fit it, 16:00-20 super singles would be SOOO bad. I'd need M1075's approval though, I don't think the 10 tons still in use when 16:00-20 super singles came out....(an attempt at humor, M1075!).joec said:Yes new color and "SUPER SINGLES" IT WILL BE WILD..!!!!!
Thanks for the compliment! I am going with a historical plate ($35 for 5 years) and historical insurance ($300/yr including collision and comprehensive coverage).madsam said:I had to get a weigh slip for my 816 so I can get it registered. I am missing a lot of equipment and had some stuff off it. I felt bad at 31,500 because I have to pay by weight. But 40k.. Nice looking truck.

If I went commercial, I would have to go with an "elected gross vehicle weight" (the weight of the vehicle plus the weight of the cargo and/or towed load). For my truck alone with an EGVW of 42,000 lbs the plate would cost $874.00 per year. If I were to go with a EGVW of 80,000 lbs (assuming I were to tow a truck about the weight of mine) the plate would cost $1660.00 per year. Wrecker insurance would run about $1000 per MONTH!
I'm working at it - single Dad, three pre-teen sons all very active in Cub and Boy Scouts, currently constructing a 32' x 64' x 14' garage to house my vehicles and give me a place to work - there just ain't enough hours in the day to get everything done! Already had to make one construction revision - change one of my 10'w x 12'h doors to 12' x 12' so I can get Da Beast in there!DanMartin said:Pics pics pics!!! I wanna see under the hood, under the frame...all of it!
C'mon man...you're killing us.
