Thanks! I was just admiring your pics from the previous months and was thinkin the same about yours! LOL! I am looking forward to some snow wheeling this fall and winter. It was nice to see your rig with a bit of mud in its face from playing around. Thanks again!

Thanks for the pat on the back. I see some very nice MVs here in the threads even if they are "stock" for the most part. If I get any vote at all I am doing at least something right. My BOT is very much stock so nothing to shout about in the customization relm of things yet, but I have plans...

Question, I am planning on swapping my tires at some point which are mounted on HEMTT steel wheels (Pictured mounted on my rig below). I purchased a set of 8 tires on MRAP aluminum wheels (See Pic Below). I was told they have the run flat unit in them already. Question is will this run flat...

Superthermal removed his post for entry. Due to not understanding entry rules. Thanks for the likes.

Where can I buy the PM version you use? I dont see it offered at any sites I have visited. Thanks for the speedy reply.

Simp, Is the 80-140 OK to run in the 5 ton Rockwell? I was thinking to run Lucas 75-90 like I do in my Dodge Dana 60 and 70.

I am particularly interested in what causes the sprag to disengage. Is it simply when power is removed by an up-shift or downshift or simply letting off the gas? Or is it mechanical ratio when the front is able to keep all 6x6 moving at the same speed allowing the slightly higher geared front...

To expand this thread past basic engagement and to ensure that I don't blow up my M813's T138 case when I am in the middle of nowhere in a tight spot I have the following questions on operation of the T-138 in wheeling situations 1. Driving forward, rear tandems break free, Front sprag engages...

I was thinking to put Detroit Lockers in all three of my axles. Next to getting my winch operational, lockers are next on my list. USMC has used Detroit Lockers in the two tandem rears, but has anyone here has lockers in all three axles on a M809 series? Just looking ahead to...

Trying to get myself set up with tools for my M813 maintenance list. Thanks for any help or pointers. Did the 38mm socket fit the 1 1/2 (38.1mm) wheel nuts? I am guessing you purchased this part...

Flying for the first time.

Mounted a 10' gas pipe with stainless 1" ubolts to the front right bumper for the USA flag to mount for the upcoming July 4th parade. Tested the height... 11'6" to ensure safe visibility with my 3'x5' Stars and Stripes. Looks about right.

How do you look up the history with a VIN on a 5 TON. I am curious to see the history on mine. Is there a site you can enter the number by?

I am curious to know which type of paint sprayer you used. Air? Airless? Electric? I do not own a sprayer but am considering buying one I can paint the truck with but also the house project items. I am also considering painting the undercarriage black Rapco 911. Not sure how to prep all the...

Good to know! I hadn't anticipated that issue. I hope someone out there has a set they can part with without gouging me toooo bad. Thanks for helping me not buy something I didn't need. To be specific...all the winches are interchangeable..i.e. the mounting bolt holes are the same but the frames...

OK, I am going to think this through. I will try to find a M939 here locally and check out the brackets on the winch to see if I can adapt them to my frame , unless you know they are a bolt in.

Was this on an M809 series? Using the stock steering pump? The electric valves... I would rather not but I could install some air actuated valves to take their place. Maybe something like this: The browning chain, can you tell me more? You were able to find a sprocket that fit the input...

I now have the rig, without a winch. However, I splurged and purchased a rebuilt Garwood with the level-wind in OHIO and I also purchased from them just in case a new PTO box. If I was to try to do the stock setup I would need the linkage, drive shaft and frame rail extensions. If I go this...

The HEMTT wheels give the front axle about a 1ish to 2" wider track as far as I can tell. If it was much different I would start thinking of some kind of mod as track width match is helpful in mud and snow. I am just crossing my fingers the excellent owners in the past put beadlocks inside of...

Can anyone identify this wheel for me? The pics of the model numbers are from the rear wheel and I need to know if it is the same as the front wheel that is pictured. I will need to buy two of these wheels at some point.
