Nice to have the right toys when you need a little help. I can't get my brothers to think that way. Oneof these days one of them will get hurt useing tractors to lift stuff around with. My self I like to be able see what i'm doing. Have more control with the 816.

Nice truck! I was thinking of the same idea. Why don't you remove the back winch and put a small shelter or extend the cab with a sleeper?

Can you say motel 6. Just going to use it for recovery and at the mud bog to carry kids. If I wanted a camper I would use on of the outher motor pool trucks.

Too bad your so far away, I'd be interested in your original tires and wheels.

I hate to dig up this old thread again, but we were talking about this truck in the new chatroom and I was wondering if we could get some more photos and a good video of it running/driving if you get time. It's just incredible and I'm still shocked at the shear size.
Thanks,

I have some photos. (Cell phone only, I had brought my camera for the event, only to realize the battery was flat dead) I went with Floridianson to pick up a M817 out of Albany, GA. About 400 miles for the round trip. Went quick by military vehicle standards. The 920 absolutely didn't care there was an extra 10 tons on the back.

What rpm were you at for the 64 mph?
And man, what a way to make a m817 look small!

Pictures are in order, so we didn't do 64 while flat towing. Don't think we went over 60. Kept forgetting something was back there!
I can't remember what RPM we were at, topped out near 70 though!

With the 16's and the cat 7155, what is rpm difference between those top gears, around 300 rpm, or more?
Sure do like the looks of those trucks with the 16's on them!
