    Working on the M37

    Wow your work is certainly coming along nicely and because of the rust you have your hands pretty full! As you start to move forward other areas that have the potential to have a lot of rot in them are going to be cab corners and the front fenders just ahead of where the headlights attach to...

    How long is too long to let sit!

    I live in ND and all my trucks sit over the winter with no starting, every one has a 24 volt battery tender on it and if the trucks are going to sit over the summer unused I make sure to dump a anti-biological growth additive in the tank and run the truck before its actually done. We are cold...

    I have been eyeing a 419 for a long time now and still have not pulled the trigger on one and since I am a true blue UNIMOG lover they fit right in with my other Unimog. OK back to the subject, it sounds like you have work that needs to get done ie. septic system dug, thats cool but that is...

    Radiator cover

    When I ran my truck in the winter the cover went on in early November and was on till Spring it made I bet a 20 degree difference in the cab at 0 degrees. The engine heats up a lot faster and they are easy to put on and take off, also protects the front of the truck.

    What state law is the best for Former MV's?

    I currently have 7 MV vehicles titled and licensed in North Dakota and they are treated as any other vehicle including the Heavy Use Tax on my M920 and my M977 HEMTT. My 5 tons are licensed as Farm trucks and the only limitation there is I can only be no more than 300 miles from the farm, never...

    Tatra813 keep your eyes open because I have seen a couple BV206s for sale over the last couple years and once of them looked pretty decent it had the Mercedes diesel engine in it and the seller claimed the tracks were all good no rot and I think it sold for under 50K

    what cordless tool are you using to get your lug nuts off

    If this is a repeat sorry but a buddy just got a new Milwaukee Cordless its like 36 volts or more and can generate 1800 ft pounds of torque. The battery life was very good for this type of performance and it retails for 1K$ Milwaukee is marketing it in the Industrial sector, not for trucks!

    Hard top dents and warping

    For some reason everybody though the cab roof was for standing on I think the vast majority of them were dented etc. in this manner. If its a big deal (which it was to me) there is heating and shrinking methods in which you can actually get the dents to stay popped OUT. I took my cab top off...
