    16.00 on M929A2, pros and cons

    That truck is an '84 or '85. "A0"... 16.00's would be just fine in your application. 395's would also be fine. 5th wheel camper doesn't really qualify as "heavy" in the context of these trucks. Those hills on I 25 are going to slow you down no matter what, 395s later than the 16.00's but...

    Will M813 fit in a standard 40‘ shipping container?

    I'm thinking you may also need to remove the top, the exhaust stack, and fold the windshield.

    Initial shake down trip of a new-to-me XM818

    I got the truck at auction as a dead truck quite some time ago and towbarred it to KS. I just recently got the time to go through it and make it roadworthy. Batteries, fluids, and above all brakes. No pedal at all. Right to the floor. New batteries and a bit of wiring got it running. Filled...

    New to me m998 what year is it

    My opinions - 1) no worries about police departments not being able to sell them. You got a title so you're covered. Worst case, fedgov demands it back from the PD at which point you have clear legal recourse to get compensation from the PD. It'll go to court. They'll lose. 2) You have a title...

    Same serial number on both titles? The truck you got is a 1990.

    Post up those Point of View hood shots!

    And one more for good measure. This one is point of view from inside the truck, and includes a hood.... but what it is is looking out the back at the 2nd truck on towbars.

    Post up those Point of View hood shots!

    A couple of pics on the way to the ranch in AZ. And one from the trip to go to MN and pick up a 2nd XM818.

    14.5 up front

    To run them up front you're going to need 5ton combat rims, LMTV rims, or HEMTT rims. And the bead isn't the same, but it'll seal. Personally, I'd leave the 14.5's for the M35A3 crowd.

    14.5 up front

    I believe the lock ring wheels are too narrow for 14.5's (I'm presuming a 939series truck with 11.00R20 tires currently on it)

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I got it out under its own power. After it was out, I hooked to it with the M925 and got an assist through the soft stuff.

    forwarding some thing in kansas

    MWMules goes to Ft Riley fairly frequently. You may hit him up. I'm an hour away from Ft Riley also. I haven't been watching the auctions, but I could make a dedicated trip for you in a pinch if it'll fit in a HMMWV.

    Hauling or towing new-to-me trailer

    FYI - those plugs are 208v 3phase 100 amp plugs. This information may be useful when looking for compatible equipment/cables/etc.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I buried my XM818 to the axles today. On the plus side, I know the sprag works properly as they were all 10 turning, spinning in the mud digging trenches.
