    Superthermal's M813 Build, THE BOT

    I don't have any detail to add. I remember thinking at the time that it needed to be uniform pressure, and to not drag. It has been a decade ago... Since then we put a new transmission in @RGS20inophir 's deuce and I may be conflating some of what happened during that. Time flies when...

    So my company car is now a Jeep Sahara: My thoughts on an FMTV vs a Jeep of today and yesterday

    Me, deaf ears? Only literally. I'll change my mind on any topic, in any direction, given more and better data... The Jeep compass is a seriously capable offroad vehicle?

    You see the pic of the compass wearing it. Do you believe that's a capable off road vehicle?

    Best Battery Opinions

    I had Hawkers that went >12 years. At 17 below, the vehicle equipped with them was the only thing that started. I have no experience with the Odyssey.

    Best Battery Opinions

    Hawkers. You said "best" , not "best value" or "best for the money" or "good enough".

    Another ill conceived and poorly executed trip by 98G

    Uneventful. Home and scrubbing it out. Contemplating a repaint. SF97 says 1994. Data plate says 1957. Obviously the latter is correct. It's in surprisingly good shape.

    Standard size = 9.00R20. Consider 11.00R20 as well if you're replacing all of them. I got nothing...

    I don't see any differences between the major manufacturers. What do you use for a DD?

    Given a large enough sample size, you can find something to support any position.

    I don't really think the badge means anything if the Jeep Compass wears it...

    So my company car is now a Jeep Sahara: My thoughts on an FMTV vs a Jeep of today and yesterday

    We've got a 2021 Gladiator. It feels enough like the HMMWV while driving it (and vice versa) that I've reached for controls in the wrong place while driving each of them. The Gladiator has about twice the power and twice the tow rating. A higher reasonable cruising speed. It's LOUD, with a...

    Another ill conceived and poorly executed trip by 98G

    Impulse bid in the neighboring state... i didn't recognize the city, but how far away could it be? Now I know... It's ~500 miles each way. Redtruck is down with an oil leak and a slipping clutch. So I loaded a spare and some tools and jumped in the gladiator yesterday afternoon and made a mad...

    Thinking about buying a 5 ton -- need advice please!

    The Macks are generally considered rare and exotic and are more highly prized than their multifuel counterparts. If you and Dennis end up making a deal that involves driving it from AZ to MO, let me know....Maybe I could provide a ride there and a chase vehicle back.
