I would like to buy a cool "mud truck" to play in mud pits, pull stuck friends out, and other off road adventures. I want something different than the Jeeps and Pickups you see all the time and always loved the look of military trucks.
Would a 5 ton make a good mudder? I was looking at an M817 ( a dump truck ) with the 250 Cummins. How are the regular tires, if I got a set of mud tires how would it do?
Anyone buy their truck for the purpose of being a mudder?
Also will the mud mess up the hydraulic ram if it becomes submerged?
Also, I would also be interested in using it as a Hauler for another vehicle. I have heard a jeep (CJ) will fit in the dump bed, but I was hoping to build a K5 on big tires (maybe a diesel CUCV) and put that in the back. Anyone know the width of the dump bed?
Thanks, I look forward to any replies!
