I'd plan that as a 6 day trip... Let me know your timeline and route. I'm going Omaha NE to Flagstaff AZ at the end of the month. If it lines up I can provide a chase vehicle for part of the drive.

So far so good! This is the first real trip since I got my M925 onto 16's. I've taken a few little 40 mile trips to shake things loose and adjust the new seat and retorque lugnuts, but this is really first extended drive. Driving about 200 miles each way. KS and NE back roads, speeds 50-60...

Looks to me like a $7k-$9k truck. That's what I'd expect to get for it if I were selling it.

Not to derail, but good top of the line 6/4 cable is under $3/ft... An MEP803 seems like the choice....

So, will they sell them to us intact,or will they shred them? (And what should they do? ) My hmmwv is infested with them. ....

Tire count for me - 6 on the truck, 2 on the trailer, 1 spare I the bed of the truck. (What they lack in numbers, they make up for in size and weight....)

Two main locations. Yes, this pretty much kills it if you're a little guy. And they're auctioning things one item at a time to get full retail for it. Example - auction. For a single cargo bow -

I've been driving it topless! I like it.... But weather forcast says thunderstorms in Atlantic IA on Saturday . I guess I better at least bring a soft top with me just in case. 154 cans in the back.... three pallets, one is a layer short..

It's getting close! The truck is almost ready....

Wash it! I've been driving my 5ton topless and got caught in a very impressive thunderstorm. A towel on the gauges to prevent spotting. All is well.

It took literally a minute or two using a tapered punch. I like the idea of using a pin with a handle and hairpin type retainer for ease of flipping it frequently. I'll probably implement this next time I am at tractor supply.

I flipped the lunette on my GETT generator trailer. It's essentially an M1102. Less than an hour start to finish. A slot has to be cut so that the top and bottom are the same. 4 1/2" grinder with a cutoff wheel and a grinding wheel. Now I can flip the lunette to be level behind either the M925...

As cajadao said, the white x could be anything, but it certainly means something and bears a closer examination. Losing a hub at speed will almost certainly result in rollover and fatality. Not that we're worried about you, but it'll generate bad publicity for the hobby (I'm kidding in case...

And postman915, and fuzzy, and tornadogt..... I'll be referencing this thread shortly for mine. I figure do it in two pieces and weld instead of attempt a bend. 3/8" AR500....

I see some cardboard assisted design in your future.... (I'll be doing the same)

My guess says it'll be luck of the draw depending in which customs officer looks at it at arrival in Houston. Anything from no problem, to impounded with storage fees in th hundreds of dollars per day. Talking to customs beforehand is like talking to DMV prior - the answers you receive today...

I put it on a leash and took it for a walk....

F350 is generally quite a bit heavier than a hmmwv. My Ram 3500 crosses the scales at just short of 9k empty. Although the military calls these things a 1 1/4 ton truck, the more realistic comparison is a civvy half ton. Or a Jeep Wrangler JKU. A quick search yields the following weights -...

I think you'd be giving up more than you'd get in return. I don't think you'd see a noticeable improvement. Even if you did manage to add power, things will start breaking.... JMHO. There are platforms on which it's reasonable to tinker. The 6.2 isn't one of them.
