Can’t remember where we got the springs. But we put the 53” tires on there for speed and durability. Will go out tomorrow and measure the 2nd and third axle
wheelbase. I‘m guessing that a spring manufacture place can set you up.
and I will measure the width and thickness of the springs also...
Yea ours is the same way, makes me nervous when any engine I’m behind isn’t showing 30 psi or better at idle. But some are just fine for many miles like that.

Marvel mystery oil is basically two parts low flash point solvent and one part atf. Just look up the
MSDS and there it is. I have never been a fan of putting solvent in my engines.

We bought an A3 5-6 years ago, yes it’s nice to put ‘12 2X4s in the back and we can put 3 four wheelres in the back when we go ride.
we modified it with a aluminum top, stretched the rear axles to put the “53 tires

Sorry, just got back home from being on the road for a while. “.032 is easy to

Yes we are very happy that we went metal, over canvas.
going thru brush and tree limbs,rain etc.
and really isn’t that hard to make.
We put an “14 electric fan on top of the standard radiator. More or less
a “helper fan” in traffic or off roading. if the gage starts coming up past
205 hit the switch. yes summer in traffic or out in the sand the engine fan
wI’ll cycle but a lot less after the electric install.
We have to be in Arizona for a few days the first week of
march, at this time don’t know if we can make it.
But if we do can someone drop a pin, or lat long where
this is?
Ok, I apologize to everyone beforehand.
Some of the very owners of “military type vehicles or equipment “ are their own
worst enemy (and ours). When we read a post that says “it’s dangerous to drive
that over 50mph (or 60,70 or whatever). For some reason people think that if
its on the...
