What impact would changing the generator to an alternator have during offroading, specifically if the deuce goes in the drink up to the alternator. The stock generator and regulator is sealed, so as long as the engine has air coming in and exhaust going out, no problems. Just worried a dip in...
I wouldn't worry about ugliness - it's a spare tire carrier and will be covered by the tire most of the time.
Keep the ideas coming, the more ideas you come up with the more your brain gets an exercise. That and we'll keep joshing you. :)
Can't wait for this event, we've done this for a few years and it gets better every time. This is open to all vehicle types, jeeps to large MVs, there are some new trails this year that will allow the large trucks to offroad in the woods along with everyone else. This year, WATER permitting...
Yes Matt, that was Saturday.
The trucks that showed up at the breakfast. Two deuces and a 818 tractor. Not the showing from wintertime, but the weather is beautiful, so we guessed a lot of folks are out on the lake, with the family, or doing honey-do lists.

Note:
1. no safety chains hooked up
2. no air hoses hooked up
3. pintle hitch almost wide open
4. only secondary hookup is the electrical cable (!)...
If it's perfect condition, maybe between $12K and $15K. One would think they'd be worth more, but their mileage sucks, they are overwidth for road use, so it's of limited utility for most drivers.
Is there perhaps a commercial replacement for the 7155 that would give it the same speed, but in a 100% automatic package like the Allison?
Another question: with the 6x6 and 8x6 capability in the M916/M920, is the transfer case in each of these trucks divorced or non-divorced from the tranny...
