    Finally got the M925A1 done

    Is that an A1 or A2? The motor is an NHC250, which would mean it is an A1, but the rims have CTIS on them. If you installed CTIS, you will need the counter-weights on the front rims. Nice.

    HEMTT Hook lift pics.

    IMO, the PLS is a cooler toy/tool than the crane. You can get a fuel body for it, a cargo pallet, a dump body...all of which I've seen for sale. That would be one bad mo-fo.

    TAN vs GREEN paint...

    Tan should be a bit cooler, but, as BARRMAN says, the difference will be minimal. I recommend tan just because there are fewer tan trucks out there.

    Do they sale M978 A2

    Are you referring to a HEMTT fueler? All it takes is luck in finding one and wads of cash. Ted Hils in AL has an M978...not an A2, though. Prepare to spend over $60K.

    Best Trailer Manufacturer?

    I agree with STEELANDCANVAS and FRODO...they should all be the same.

    Found an M543 (I think)

    Grab it...and I vote to keep it as a gasser. Gassers are getting more and more rare. If you do convert it to a multifuel, you will still be fine as the military did this all the time. Still, I'd rather have it as a gasser. I agree with those posters above...$2K is a great deal if it is...

    M800 series with air brakes

    The driver's side running board is definitely off of an M939 series truck. The axles appear to be from an M939A2 series truck. The fenders are from an M809 series truck. There are air valves behind the access panel on that box that is on the driver's side running board. Perhaps, they came as...

    M800 series with air brakes

    I am not sure. The more I look, the more I see M809 series features, too...like the air tanks under the driver's side cab. However, on an M809, there should be a toolbox in front of the air tanks (where that box with the access panel is located).

    M800 series with air brakes

    Those are definitely M809 series fenders. The diffs and the box on the driver's side running board are throwing me off. Could they have taken an M923A2 and mounted some sheet metal off of an M809? Not sure why the would do that. I am stumped.

    M800 series with air brakes

    That looks like it could be an M923A2. The box on the driver's side running board is definitely an A2 part and the diffs are flat on the bottom...another tell-tale sign of an A2. I will say that the fender in the first pic does look like an M809 series fender. With all the damage, it is...

    The driver looks like Sean, the bagpipe player! :)

    thanks to Pete at Winslow's

    John Winslow and Pete are an underutilized resource. I have been singing their praises for the last decade. They do fine work and are easy to deal with. I am attaching some pics of their paint work.

    M149A2 Recovery From Camp Lejeune

    Beautiful trailer and nice score. A word on the age (for the SF97). The tank on the trailer might be from 2000, but the chassis is early 80s at the newest. You can tell by the tie-down points on the rear corners and the front A-frame. I am attaching pics of my trailer to see the difference...

    Just purchaced my first truck M944a1

    My suggestion...get it shipped. If, as with most everyone else who drives a truck out, you are trying to save some coin, at least invest in getting the truck shipped to a location off-base where someone can do a good inspection and either you or that person can do a full servicing on the truck...

    M108 crane parts

    Forget price when looking for M108 specific items and just be happy IF you can find what you need.

    Tire life expectancy

    My expectation is that the tires will dry rot, or you will sell the truck, before you wear them out. Are you planning on putting thousands of miles on your truck? If not, and you can protect the tires from the sun as best you can, they should last you a long time. Bjorn (CRANETRUCK) has...

    hour meter questions

    I think Bjorn covered this in a previous post. I can't remember the topic, but you might try searching under CRANETRUCK for his previous posts...or PM him.
