    Non Winch Offroad Recovery

    It's doubtful the ground there would have held anything. It was an abandoned cement plant. The ground and piles were sand/dust/powder/granulated slag like more than anything else. Going forward at that point would have been far worse than going out the way it went in. It wasn't very muddy but...

    Do the Gov Liq vehicle ratings mean anything?

    I bought an H7 and after checking it over, new batteries, filters, and fixing some air leaks drove it home 2700 miles pulling a trailer. I've driven several home and had some hauled. It's not a perfect science. Codes are not reliable.

    Non Winch Offroad Recovery

    M342a2 factory dump truck is now home

    Here are some pics of different M342 side boards. Most of the military installations I've seen the motorpool used super heavy/strong sign post for the standards. They were a tight fit for the bed pockets and were driven in. Pic #5 troop seat posts were being used. Some trucks use a pair of...

    Another tire question

    I run 11R20 tubes in my 11R20 tires. The right way to go! He likely does not have 11's and wants to sell what he has. The 10's might be "old" stock also. Tire guy is a salesman.

    Just flop an aired up 900-20 on the slab hub facing up. Measure the distance from slab to outside of hub x2 and add to the width of a M105.
