Give me free access to any brand new tires and I would take the Michelin XML's. The Goodyear MVT's are decent but, are rock pickers. I like the Michelin XZL's better. I would not intentionally buy Michelin XL's. I currently have trucks equipped with all the tires in my post.

Off road only trucks. Not the way I would do it. That second truck is the one I thought you were planning to buy, remember! It was first posted by you. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?76168-Lift-blocks&highlight=

Real nice work Ken. Looking forward to see the finished product. PS, know anyone that wants to buy a boat? Lol......;)

A couple pics of the MT643's. First one set up for hydraulic winch from a Canadian deuce and second one set up for pto operation.

The editor of Chevy High Performance magazine wrote a buildup of 390/410 hp smallblock on 87 octane back in 2001. The article was called "Agent 87". Something like 25mpg in a car. The 267 V8's I've used are original equipment from Impala and Caprice 2/4 door full size cars. They have good...

For off road use only these guys make these tires work.

Well, you posted in the CUCV forum without being specific so here's my take on it. If I needed to change out the 6.2 in a M1009, I would consider a 4.3 V6. Plenty of power, cheap and easy to maintain. I have installed a few 267 V8's which are great motors for an economical power plant,(only GM...

The cable is yours!

I went to a garage sale Saturday morning and bought an M114.....tow cable along with 4 water cans and a couple other items such as pioneer tools.

My 14.5's do not hit anything loaded or empty. I can even stow the rear gate on the side.

I have 14.5's on one of my trailers.

Mine have been $125 if they already had a tube length for my need in stock. $200 if they did not have the correct tube length I needed in stock.

Go to Johnson's Stainless Exhaust in Fredonia, PA. You aren't far from there. They will build you a complete stainless setup with lifetime warranty for the cost of the auto part store setup.

The original post did not mention wanting to change the transmission or doing a lift for big tires. The poll should reflect what he was asking. That said I would do the 3.73 swap. Still plenty of power and more highway friendly. I run 255/85's which are taller than my 285/75's on my M1008 and...

Some more pics!

Might be looking for something like this.

I found most of that stuff closer to you than to me. There was another guy east of this location that has some mounted 1400-20 NDT's off a bridge truck for sale.

I scored on my most recent garage sale adventure.

Very nice work there! Not really unthinkable. This trailer came through GL back in 2010. There have been others also.
