    Spare tire?

    That's really strange. Neither of those wheel types ever had 14''s on them in the military. Obviously 14's will fit on the wheel. But 14's won't fit on a 6x6 deuce. To find two separate instances of where someone changed tires from stock to 14''s is a low probability event. Both had to be on...

    Spare tire?

    The wheel will bolt on. The issue is that the tire size is probably 14.5R20 and you probably have 395''s or larger on your truck currently. The first picture is an M35A3 wheel. The second picture is an MRAP wheel with an adapter plate. Both will bolt up to a deuce, except the tire sizes are...

    4th annual BA-DA BA-DA BING BANG RALLY 5/19/18 Atlantic, IA

    Looks like I may be within driving distance of this thing come May 19th ... Having never been, what do we do at these things? Do we sell ammo cans and other things? Do we shanghai extra hands for installing an LWS on an M925? (You never know what some people consider recreation....) I just...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Yeah, that's an issue. I'm going to compress the springer base to lower the total assembly.

    The towbars made it to storage in KS. They still need a ride to NY if you make it to KS....

    M813 Batteries / Charging

    That's bizarre. It's not plausible that Steve put a 12v alternator in it.... Edit - PM sent

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Passive booby traps are a felony most places, including California for sure. Although generally speaking if you catch them in the act there's not much limit to what you can do. It just can't be self activated.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Today's project is the resolution of the seating issue. Pictures of the problem, and the solution. Now to fab brackets.... I'm just going to mount the MRAP seat onto the springer base. I'm going to retain the original seatbelt that's part of the springer base.

    Any info on states issuing titles for hmmwvs?

    Apparently NE DMV is now saying no to all MV's, and has stated they plan to revoke titles - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?178427-Licensing-M915-s&p=2128751#post2128751

    Any info on states issuing titles for hmmwvs?

    Interesting. Personally I would want to reward that company by giving them the other vehicles as well, even if higher $. By the same token, if i had to go to another company for my MV's, I'd move everything there including the house. The message I want to send is "being MV friendly brings...

    53 michelin xzl tires

    My poor truck has been on blocks for almost two years. I had a chance to sell the G177's off it (THANKS CLINT!), with the intent of replacing them with 395's within just a couple of weeks. Life got in the way and it didn't' happen. Meanwhile the blocks sank into the ground, and what I have...

    53 michelin xzl tires

    Funny you should mention that. Today I'm mounting some onto my M925. It's a workout.... for me and the redtruck. Pull the front mudflaps before you start. And I highly recommend these offset lugnuts. You'l need them on the front axle anyway on an 809series truck.

    electric winch on deuce

    You'd think the belt would slip with any serious pull. Obviously it doesn't or it wouldn't be made that way. Very interesting.
