bit offtopic but even then snapping halfshafts reminds me of the volkswagen/bombardier iltis, I don't have a good cite for this but I've heard a bit of that it was generally to be left in 4wd mode all the times except if you were on dry surface and needed to make very tight turns, as otherwise...

I could be wrong but I would suspect that using higher gears is more of an ice thing aka low-friction but grip-depleted condition that is, the rationale being that lower torque would induce less "overpower" slipping. even then some cars with selectable automatic transmission modes seem to...

last time I saw an actual 24v battery was from a site that restocked batteries for varying type of planes/helicopters (especially separate category for extra-rugged 'safety battery') but otherwise pretty much everyone else pretty much serial-wire two 12v's or four 6v's together to get the 24v...

this is the only similar photo I could find from the web now but the magazine mentioned that these sort of sets were common around california through the 1950's-1960's https://i.pinimg.com/236x/8b/de/f4/8bdef4423ec7d2b694c1693836df7eb5--cattle-trucks.jpg

with regarding to transferring trailer load to the truck itself .. its a different non-military topic as ever usual but I'll note that usa-wise there were actually quite a few cattle-purposebuilt trucks back then that were set up as a 3-axle straight body hauling a 1pony+2rear axles trailer ...

regarding that funky dump bed, the towbar and re roller roll in front of the bottom tells me that it maybe seem like it was previously a small rollon-rolloff bin that in some way got welded into a permanent mount atop the deuce's chassis rails instead at the moment? I could be wrong but yeah I...

@HoveringHMMWV what competition?? he's simply forking everyone else out of his way! (haha..I know..me being silly hm?)

I know some of you might have seen the one where a few jeeps were constantly bouncing over a "wavy test surface" (its at 0:34 in the video) but I never knew there were quite more to that as per this longer version I noticed this morning now: I have to say the first several seconds are too...

btw @msgjd its unrelated but either way I have known about this (theres several versions of this on youtube by now apparently especially with or without the embedded captioning) thats another case of the small one showing up the big one! (actually sad fact is that what we call a compact economy...

@msgjd I have never ever seen a drop-in dump kit or ever knew someone actually could do that either! I rather like it .. and haha to probably laughing back at the dump trucks when they can't get to where you had been to before hm?

@Migginsbros I know its not english but I had to chuckle when I thought I almost at first was reading "[a] old ruck [of a] motor[!]" off that dashboard there heh?

@m1010plowboy several good years ago I recall running into a website that had toronto-warehoused tatra cars (including that 'strange' 97 ones sitting next to his 613's!) for sale but otherwise I'm not sure where he might be anymore lately or that I haven't ever seen much mention of tatra trucks...

you're funny @Jbulach - took me a minute to realize what you did and I think you're nutty?! (now..to empty a radiator bone dry so we can technically say we filled 'that' motor with air hm?)

regarding no suspension..I guess that for forking, it makes sense as you want it to be the same front height/ride no matter whether its empty or lumping a extra-big full container knowing that its likely certain people get quite used to 'their' tractor to the point that eventually they could...

@MarkM maybe you'll like to try an ex-jet engine and see what it does (if it doesn't dry up your tiny fuel tank too quickly first) but..who knows!

he meant it in comical jest but a trucker humour book I have had the driver basically mentioned "whats this about air supply? I'm paid to go, not to stop! well ok..famous last words there.." but yeah to be honest I've heard a few small stories about any sort of vehicles (non-military car...

*snorts* will someone please fork @Migginsbros off to somewhere else out of my sight right now?? (I'm just joking but I sound like one of these corny 1980's tv show with being a frustrated human speaking at a sharp tone)

@kdaniels technically one also could simply leave the window/door open for "natural a/c" but that depends on both the climate and the vehicle altogether tho mind you. even then the landrover had dashboard "a/c" as long as the road was not too extra-dusty .. and although its hard to find them -...

thanks @Mogman it was night before (and after a bit of a long day) so yeah sorry about the initial title and which of I don't mean to be something for asking this but I sort of wonder what kind of transmission type these might have, probably a more 'basic' something as I can't think that the...

I did a quick search for 'sh405' and it doesn't seem to have ever been mentioned on this forum so I decided to make this new post for now.. enjoy this one small photo if you want to see something a bit different aka taking an unimog and throw away everything to do with the factory body but to...
