    37" Hummer Tires & Wheels on M1008

    This is something I will definitely do if I can pull the trigger on a 1008.

    So if a decent cow goes 4-500 pounds, you get 300 out of that? Ok. We did process both of those bulls (although I won't do more than one at a time again). One was a 5x5 and the other a slightly larger 5x6. Pulling more than 50% net from a carcass? Hhhhmmmm? Here is a study by the WY...

    A really big bull might get you 3-350. Our last two bulls netted us about 225 a piece in meat (all boned and processed). By comparison my last WT in IN dressed at 165 and got me about 70 from the processor. We hunt wilderness, so unless a elk gets stupid and walks through camp we generally...

    SGT, what is the deal with the switch? Is it just getting the wheels recentered? I know there is a thread in here and I will look, just being lazy :)

    Skinny, I am open to the pickup variants as well. I think that if I can get 36"-ers on there I would be G2G. The blazer would only give the obvious passenger + up but the off road business is the most important. MOR, Carson is great. Having 4th ID here is a pain but since I don't play with...

    WH, thanks a for the start. I am no real wrench turner (more of a wood guy) but am fairly mech inclined and don't shirk the work. Rust doesn't bother me (as long as it is not a structural issue) as this will be a hunting truck foremeost and being "pretty" won't last long where we go :) I will...

    Hello to all, SFC B here is stationed at Carson and a brand-newbie to private M1008/9 ownership. Drove them quite a lot when I first enlisted and always thought them useful. Recently a guy in my unit bought a 1009 from the GovLiq auction and brought it back from Sparta. WI. I am interested...
