Joe, PM James Reed (M1075). He is in OK and may be able to help.

Is anyone coming back through MD or even to NC near Winslow (Halifax, NC)? I am buying something from EXBROWN and would love to get it couriered north! I am willing to pay. Let me know if you can help.

I recommend you turn the sound down since the music sucks in my opinion...and I am not positive that this video has not been posted previously (although I don't recall seeing it on this site). This video shows what some Russian trucks can do. Other threads have shown Russian logging trucks.

Beautiful, Bjorn. Thanks for sharing!

I respectfully disagree. Russian cars have a terrible reputation, but I have never heard anything but great things about their trucks. If anything, I have heard the opposite...that Russian trucks are built so simply that they out perform under tough conditions. Just look at the CTIS on...

Is anyone attending the GA rally who is headed back towards MD (or at least NC near Winslow in Halifax, NC) who could haul something north for me? The item is fairly big...probably a bit larger than a medium towbar and slightly heavier. Please let me know. Thanks!

DAVEP, is that the same truck that is in both pictures? Did you remove the rear fenders? Very nice. I like the MERDC camo scheme a lot.

I realize you said you want to keep it. My suggestion...offer it in a trade for a new vinyl top. That way, someone who wants an insulated arctic top will have what they want and you get a new top. Win-win. I will say this...the best plan is definitely NOT to cut the insulation out.

Welcome aboard. There are a lot of other SteelSoldiers members in FL. I suggest trying to meet up with them to network. STONEPICKER, RECOVRY4X4, PCTRANS, DIRT71...and many, many others (including RAYZER, who just posted). I know I am leaving a lot of guys out, but those are the few that came...

Maybe you could pay DOCFARMALL (Jeff) to recover it. He lives in Rising Sun, IN. Anyway, he could probably go over it after he got it home and give you a good appraisal of the truck. I know he has helped out other members here, although I hate to speak for him. Send him a PM. Good luck.

DODGEMAIN, I love your dump. I wanted it back when Joe Naglich still had it. I wish I could have made you a reasonable offer on it when you offered it for sale.

If an agency can't start a truck, they often bypass it. This truck definitely has had parts removed. Right off the bat, that will scare most agencies away. They want turn-key trucks. Example: a friend was inspecting at Mechanicsburg when an agency was recovering one of the first rebuilt...

Here are a couple of pics of some of my trucks.

I disagree about the HEMTT wrecker repairs. If the motor and transmission are good, that truck will need about $25K in repairs/parts. I did not inspect it so I don't know what all is missing, but I went over the pics with a good friend who has built HEMTTs. He and I came to the same...

I agree with Jay on the Gillespie black. I almost always go with CARC. However, for touch ups, I use Krylon ultra flat black. It is almost a 100% match with fresh black CARC. I don't know if you can buy it by the gallon.

Beautiful MUTT!

WILDCHILD467 is correct. However, with canvas cab tops, four works better. The additional bow...if evenly spaced across the cab...prevents the canvas from sagging above the doors, which would prevent water from pooling. I assume you probably have a vinyl top, though, since canvas tops are...

Your shifting problem could be related to the shift modulator. I don't know that this is the problem for certain, but I had a truck once that would not shift out of second gear and it was the shift modulator. Once that was replaced and the shift points were set, the transmission shifted perfectly.

REB87, thanks for your response. I own an M917 and M916 and while both were rebuilt in 2007, neither have lockers. Thanks, again!

REB87, what's with the Detroit NO SPIN sticker? Does the M915a1 have lockers in it? I am wondering if many of the M915 series trucks have lockers.
