Any idea where this came from?????

Was built off an xm211 i think?
Im going to build one out of a deuce, with a disk brake conversion.

You would have to be "well hung" to stop a deuce with your dick, but go right ahead.

I meant disk brake to make it a little more road worthy

It might be a bit cheaper to use 5 ton axles under the truck if you want more braking action. As a plus the 5 ton axles are a lot larger and Hemtt wheels can be used un-molested.

Can the 5 ton brakes run off the 2.5 ton Master cylinder.

Close, I would say that started out as a m135.

Chuck Norris can!!!!!

btw:
I hear that Chuck Norris isn't hung like a horse....horses are hung like Chuck Norris

Is there a major difference between a m135 and a m211 besides the dual rear wheel?

Please tell us your going to put a little more wheelbase in yours. As tall as that is I think it would flip over backwards going up my driveway.

Cool looking rig though.

Was going to go with a 4 door 4 seater configuration. something like this

that is one of the worst photo shops of one of the coolest concepts I have ever seen, don't get me wrong I am a photo shop retard but I really like the idea.

hmmmm...that looks shopped

Sorry was just trying to get a idea conveyed. I used ms paint by the way. I havent ever used the photochop.

lol no need to apologize...very few of us are PS or paint pros here...god knows I am not

It would be a neat project - go for it.

Ummm, back to the original subject... hate to spoil the fun but somewhere I remember a question going by about brakes.

The early M800 series trucks are air over hydraulic and the deuce brake booster stuff may work if you have enough master cylinder capacity.

The later M900 series are straight air and so the booster is of no value. But you'll need to convert to an E series brake valve and upgrade the air system with; compressor with enough output, a wet tank, air dryer, emergency (spring brake) valve, relay and quick release valves and the air line plumbing to make it all work properly.

I thought at one point that disc brakes on the baby HEMTT would be a nifty changeover but it seems that Rockwell military axle housings' have different backing plate flange bolt patterns than the civilian axle housings. So much for a bolt-in swap.
Having to make new brake caliper stands was the stopping point for me; although some cold rainy winter night I may dust off the idea.

The self-cleaning, ease of maintenance benefits are marginal as the military Rockwell drum brakes are more than sufficient to stop a fully loaded 5 ton.
A better conversion would be to "S" cam brakes from the original wedge brakes and parts for that swap are out there and cheap.

OK, back to your high jinks, you little scallywags.

I am also thinking aboit using a cutting brake like used in Rockcrawlers. going to a caliper on a pinion brake. Just for some type of a brake in case of a stocke brake failure

There are both drum and disc driveshaft brakes used as emergency/parking brakes. I'm pretty sure a lot of forklifts use the same set-up.

If you end up with the full air 5 ton Rockwells I guarantee you won't have to worry about brake failure. The spring brakes on the rear will apply whether you want them to or not, as soon as your air pressure drops below a certain point.
