First off great tire choice. Where did you get them from and how much? Are they retreads? I have no idea as to why the rim/bead-lock combo are not working together as I haven't my own rig yet and am still in the informational stage in learning so I could have easily run into this issue...

https://www.power-sonic.com/blog/lithium-cranking-amps/ I was looking into making my own Lithium battery set that would be mounted under the seats in the cab (For several reasons I will not go into here), but when I came across this from a Lithium battery manufacturer I decided Lithium is not...

Kickin Project! Where do all of you guys score your rides from! Seems I dont have a good feed to locate rigs as they come up for sale... like a friend of a friends second cousins brother in-laws co-worker ... had this for sale and...now its mine... LOL Looks like you have a lot to do on this...

Which is the best off-road tire? Snow, Mud. Longest lasting on-road? Any of these have fatal flaws like cupping, seperation issues etc... that need to be looked out for? Did I miss one that is an off-road specific tire?

Thanks for the quick reply, I do like the M800 series rides. Fuzzytoaster has an M814 he is working on to sell sometime in the future. I am patient and not looking to just buy anything but who knows. Maybe that is the rig I will buy. If so my dream rig is an M813/14 with a Big Cam 400 an 8LL...

This M813 is Exactly what I am looking to build or buy. The M35 is also spot on and runner up. You have excellent taste.

I would be driving back to Utah so that is perfect! Can you send me a few more pics of the M923A2 when you have time? SIMP feels I should be buying one of the 5 tons with the removable hump in the floor of the cab to make a Big cam 400 swap with a manual trans a bit of an easier ordeal. I...

Are the XZL tires that crappy in mud? Do they make a 16.00 XML? I have seen a listing of a 475/80R20 XML Fuzzytoaster I would love to buy one of these units. How much did they pick it up from you for? Let me know as I have been looking for a while for something like this. I did notice you...

How much did you sell the M923A2 for?

Hello ALL, Looking to purchase a decent M923A2 need some upfront advice. What are the top 5 things I should be checking to ensure I am not out too much $$$ if a particular system is in poor needing replacement condition I know I will be spending money on this but I would prefer not to be...

I noticed you had no reply here, I am a bit new here and am looking for a rig. I noted on one of your posts you had listed you had an 813 and the next it showed a 814. I have been looking to do a Big Cam 400 swap on whichever rig I buy which is also what you were looking for. How did that turn...

Note to self: Add air bags to keep the front front axle from smashing the nice Big Cam pan. Any pics or part numbers? This obviously limits the suspension somewhat are there any additional benefits or drawbacks?

One reason I like the 8LL is the three revers gear ratio choices (six in all) to be able to rock the rig back and forth as needed. Again I haven't used one of these transmissions and don't know the "feel" of a 21,000 lb rig and what power/ratio makes the ideal scenario for throwing mud off your...

SIMP Thanks again on the reply. Looking for info on failure mode on the "eating" parts. Was this in low range out in the mud or pulling your heavy loads in high T-case range but lower gears on your 7155? Was this on the intermediate shaft between the Trans to T-case or the T-case to the rear...

This is the big cam 400 at 3200 lbs vs the nhc 250 at ??? lbs? Is anyone here making a motor mount kit to ease the pain? If this goes into a M813 or M923 is there some hood modifications needed?

Hello all! I haven't been able to locate any info on the specification for the Rockwell 5 ton input torque rating. Looking at engine torque to transmission gearing to transfer case gearing and the end torque that could be placed onto one axle input. Anyone know this? I know they are incredibly...

Cool! Thanks SIMP! OK I made it back with some measurements that I did take rapidly on the way with the family to the movies so dont sell the house they are exact but they should be close enough for our estimation here :) Measuerment made from the stock M923A2: Rear driveshaft length 31" from...

SIMP, you are correct again on the 30000 unit and if I used it a different trans w a .7ish OD would be mandatory. The only reason I am considering it at all is if it is smaller shaft to shaft to eliminate loss of ground clearance and moving the bed around. I would rather add an overdrive...

SIMP, you are correct in all of these points LOL and YES absolutely I overthink everything LOL! It looks like you too are a tinkerer of all things so I feel at home here, and thanks for the 34" detail. Still mixing the parts in my mind. I like the smaller military units and the 916/920 are...

Has this ever been done? All of us metal heads here has anyone made this mode to see if it actually will work?
