Of course!

Hmm, picked up my XM818, and hopefully should have some new HEMTT rims to mount up those pretty 16.00r20 XZLs I have sitting. If all that goes well, and I can flush the fuel tanks out, I will also be bringing the 818 on 1600s!

I first had my deuce insured as commercial, with limited mileage, but unlimited usage. State Farm was $209/6 months. Not bad really. Registration is between $500 to $900 a year, depending on how you list the GVWR.

This motor was put in, and left there. Plate on the motor says 87. Stock bore, stock bearings for rods/mains, etc. Looks like a Toole rebuild at that time. In the last 2-3 years, it has had 3, count them THREE miles put on it. Air valve behind the dash is bad. So it was constantly bleeding off...

Oh yeah, I passed by someone driving a M820, south bound on I-5 in southern CA yesterday. Was that anyone here? They waived, and I honked.

Well, after a year of bidding and searching, I finally got a 5 ton. XM818, hard top, NEW NHC-250! 11r20 XLs (soon to be 16r20s, thanks 100dollarman!). Maiden voyage was 700 miles home. What a very LONG day at 50 - 52 mph..... Wife took this picture in the evening. Too funny.

Not yet, this Wednesday I should get it. Sounds like you picked up a good one. Comdiver, please post pics when you get it.

Keep it, you never know when you will need something like that. I will end up building my own (I have all the parts now, I think). But to start off with a commercial version is much easier, and almost cheaper in the long run.

Don't lift the tires up onto the truck's hub. Lower the trucks hub until you can wiggle the tires onto it, while the tire still sits on the ground. This goes a lot faster with two people, but I have put on a good number of these tires using this method by myself. Funny thing about working with...

Trying to get some of these rims out to the west coast without spending a fortune on shipping. I am in northern CA, near the Oregon border. I can travel to Reno NV if that is the closest someone might be coming. Also have a friend that might be able to pick them up in WA, if that would be a good...

I pulled my 16+ ton bulldozer with one of my deuces. Part of it was up a slight incline, on DIRT. The hard part was getting that bugger moving! Once it was moving though, it wasn't all too bad. I definitely didn't have enough weight on the back of the deuce to make this easy. If you can add a...

Uhm, the bigger tires already HAVE the higher load ratings. My 16r20s have 14.5k weight ratings! The smaller ones are around 9.4k I think, or close to that.

Two times that I did it, I used opposite approaches. First time was "it was built for the military, it MUST meet those standards" Second time "It was for the military, it was exempt from those standards". Both lines worked, but even the CHP officers were a little stumped. Ok, so what lines...

I was going to offer that I will be going down real close to Hundy if you wanted me to grab some tires for you. Or anyone in the PNW actually.

I didn't turn up the fuel on it Jesse, the NG unit did it. I haven't found a seat that will fit with enough room left over for the steering wheel. I think I will take the air bag/spring replacement route as well. Btw, I would think it should be very easy to MAKE a suspension seat setup for the...

grounded, I was planning on running the pin about 1-2" forward of the axles center line. I still need a crank handle for my trailer's landing leg. It is blastedly HEAVY to do it by hand. How did Andy mount his? Even centered over the axle should work just fine. You don't really NEED much tongue...

About to do the M200 trailer with the 5 ton 5th wheel setup. Seeing pictures of Andy's with the fenders on it still make me want to keep the fenders on my M200 trailer.

It will dump more often with the lower pressure. Set the pressure to 120 psi. It should dump less often, and you will have maximum assist for braking. Plus the extra reserve pressure if you have to use the brakes, or other air items, that often.

Yes and no. The main use is still the desulfation. But with two of them, you just doubled the amount of amperage going into the system. Add to that, the 12v versions are easily had in 2 to 6 watt versions. And while that is only 250mah to 1,000 mah, it is actually enough to SLOWLY charge a...

Oh, and I was one of those people who talked with the people at Solargizer about using two 12v setups rather then a single 24v.
