...and don't wear a red shirt!

Same here, before I go off road gotta get me a proper wench

Not my rig but wow did not realize how much articulation our rigs have. 5 Ton Recovery

Would TM 9-2320-260-20 Section V. BATTERY SYSTEM MAINTENANCE help?

Took some Shine Juice to the old girl today, dang missed front end Friday by one day. This is a boiled linseed derivative produced by Vice Grip Garage.

$5000, in Massachusetts with Hagerty. Essentially it's what I bought it for. In fact they automatically renewed my policy last week, $205. It's not my daily driver, I store it in a tent and I've limited myself to 2500 miles/year

Page can't be found...pretty pictures of Dogs though.

Used an Engine hoist to hang the tailgate...twice!, yah I put it on backwards the first try, still worked though. Used 5/8 X 4.5 inch Hitch Pins from the hardware store. Still have to do some work to the tailgate itself and the drivers side bed mount which is buggered like a pretzel. My welding...

Burned all but one of the pins out of the hinges on the tailgate of my M813 until I ran out of gas. Only buggered one of the hinges, hey it was only my second time with a torch. One of the previous owners used the rig as a salt truck and pretty much never washed it. When I bought her the...

Replaced the windshields on my M813. Both had delaminated, one had a large chunk taken out right where the inspection sticker would have gone, pretty sure the inspectors would have caught that one... Removed scale with a wire brush. They came apart rather easy, that is once I figured out that...

How about the primer pump? Just rebuilt mine, before rebuild the piston just moved freely in the tube, after cleaning and new O-rings there's a noticeable vacuum in the tube.

So I don't have to worry about supporting the full weight of the rig?

Not my 5-Ton but Youtube Casey's Offroad Recovery posted a video showing him changing the tire on his rig. I'm putting together my tire changing kit, what size jack-stands should I be looking for?

With mallet, claw, a 2.5 ton chain fall and engine hoist I straightened out my rear end...and house to boot. Then foam cored the rotted out sections with rebar and scrap metal stiffening it up.

Not a Duce but I also had good luck with Hagerty for my M813, $250/year, 2500 miles per year, not a daily driver, no hauling or towing and stored in a tent, well most of it. All registry was interested in was the body type, 3 sides and a tailgate means it's a pickup. Found a local inspector...

Don't you hate it when you get a bug in your teeth.

Does that model have a primer pump? I just rebuilt the one on my M813 to address a similar, if not more pronounced issue.

Locktite Foaming Filler for Big Gaps Update; Success, this stuff works. Although it's sand-able and paint-able best practice is to skim coat with filler. The product is porous and absorbs sprayed paint, takes allot of paint to fill the pores. I'm currently experimenting with brushed on paint...

Did you say the pickup tube in the tank is new?

Began patching and rust remediation. Want to get this rig on the road ASAP so until my welding skills improve I'm experimenting with Loctite Tite Foam for big gaps. It's sandable and paintable but I'll likely have to skim coat it before the finish coat. Used cardboard to create a gap between the...
