There are a couple of threads on installing one of these on a truck. The same techniques could easily be applied to a trailer. I plan on doing something similar to my 5 ton. I can't find the thread using search right now, but there are some pretty cool ideas from other members out there. Keep...

What's the nomenclature of the generator?

Welcome! Congrats on that 1031. I was eyeing that one too, but didnt bid. I was eyeing all those trucks that just went out of Fort Rich, I bid on a few of them, but they all went too high for me. The recovery driving one of those back to Fairbanks would have been fun.

The Army is not phasing out heavy armor. We've been reorganizing into a BDE centric force for awhile now, but heavy brigade combat teams, of which M1s are an integral part, are very much a part of our Army. The rumor still persists that Stryker mobile gun systems are replacing tanks, but that is...

Are they too short for a specific vehicle? My 101A2 chains are perfect length for towing behind my '10 Powerwagon with no modifications.

I picked up my 813 from Lima and took 75 to US23 to end up just south of Ann Arbor in December. The truck came from Wright Patterson and I picked it up from a guy that was helping me out. I planned the trip from WP along pretty much the same route you did but I didnt have to go quite that far...

Hmmm, first time I've heard reference to the small wires running to the battery. Is this standard? I had a couple of wire remnants when I got my 813, but only once end was hooked to ground and the other was frayed and cut. no terminal was on the other so I couldnt see where it went. By chance my...

I'd be happy to just get one of the boats! I know there are a few out there in private hands, but I havent seen but one for sale.

:shock: Sweet. I know multi fuels will run on most anything, but greasy rags? That's going too far. Skip the WVO, just feed it fries, or chicken wings, she'll burn it and shoot the bones out the exhaust.

Awesome! Man, does that look like fun. Did you import that one yourself?

Can you paint it?

There were about half a dozen in Anchorage this week that went for $10,000+. They were cherry looking M35A3C winch trucks, and AK is an odd market, but upwards of $13,000 from GL for an A3... :shock:

Great look on that 813! Without hub flipping is any other modification necessary to put HEMTT rims on an 809 truck? Someone mentioned new lug nuts? I'm looking to single out my 813 with 14s as well and I thought I needed the newer 5 ton rims to do it with no mods, just get the 14s put on some...

I want one for my 813 too. I havent seen one for sale since I've owned my truck, but I'm not giving up. :)

Bulldog, How many cans/gallons of primer did it take for you to cover your 813? How many cans of green? Your truck looks great! Any more tips? I have an 813 that is going to get a new paint job in May or June along with a bunch of other work and I'm stocking the supplies now. I'm debating doing...

Also, firing a projectile firearm/DD or not from a vehicle versus a static position can mean the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony, or between a lower class and a more severe class of felony. Check your state laws.

USSR, pics 38 & 40 look like actual photos, but to my knowledge no full size Ratte was ever produced. Are they mock ups, or faked photos? 40 looks doctored, but 38 is hard to tell. Whats the story?

What about Navy gray? I think a bunch of MV's working around a marina would look good in some haze gray. The gray trucks would look good compared next to the blue truck, you'd still be sticking with the military paint schemes, you could put Admiral's names on them (instead of Army Generals on AF...

The green one looks like it might be a J8. Wish those were more readily available too. Or at least a little cheaper.

Security thing. The anchor point varies with the type of vehicle, and sometimes unit mods are done that will vary the location even further. The point is to keep the steering wheel immobilized or obstructed enough to prevent someone from driving it, while allowing authorized drivers to have it...
