    Rusty, Recovry and Panzerwillie's Wrecker Builds

    Finally making some headway. Ended up having to buy a tractor to lift the bed and a miller bobcat 250 to do the repairs with. Quick pic while test fitting. Brett

    Rusty, Recovry and Panzerwillie's Wrecker Builds

    We bought a tractor with a loader. Now I will be able to make some progress. Still haven't touched the bed anymore since being blasted and primed. With the loaded, I'll be able to build the subframe and move it around. Not making the progress I was hoping for but it's almost time to park the...

    CUCV m1008 bed conversion

    Sounds like a great conversion. Would it be possible to do this with a 1101 trailer too? brett

    M1008 rear differential

    If I remember correctly it's a 1/2 drive or 3/8 drive socket. Maybe use a small extension so it'll reach easier. Brett

    ARTILLERY ROAD, CLARKSVILLE TENN GL SITE What is it like ? cow pasture? Any GL help?

    Supposedly there is supposed to be a symbol that dictates scrap and it wasn't present on this auction. Hopefully everyone that won can get a title if they'd like. Brett

    ARTILLERY ROAD, CLARKSVILLE TENN GL SITE What is it like ? cow pasture? Any GL help?

    My buddy called GL and they told him it was a scrap auction. He is less than thrilled. He's trying to figure out what to do next. No where did it say that. If it was scrap why list the mileage and payload? Brett

    Rusty, Recovry and Panzerwillie's Wrecker Builds

    Yes. It has a 2" against the drum, wheel, spacer, wheel. Not ideal but will work till I get the rear converted to disc. The wheel is to small for the drum without the spacer. One thing I'm seeing is the need to get my brake lines installed sooner than later. That are tight as can be. I've been...

    Rusty, Recovry and Panzerwillie's Wrecker Builds

    Still working away. Going to do some welding and mods to the wrecker bed. It's currently standing on its front for ease of access. Cut the mufflers off tonight. Exhaust was rotted behind them. Sounds great now. Brett

    12-Bolt Beadlock questions

    I didn't balance mine and it drives ok. I'm running Dually front wheels with 37s and my m1102 take offs until I can get my wrecker bed installed and then it'll have all Dually wheels on the rear with 37s. None of them are balanced. I drive it 35 miles one way to work when I don't want to unhook...

    Just won Hyster E40XL-MIL on GL

    What about charging each battery independently until you can get a correct charger? Just single them out and trickle charge each one for a day or so with a regular automotive charger. Most new ones can handle 6v or 12v batteries now. Brett

    M1009 6" lift

    I removed my TC drop and my tick noise went away. I also pulled off the cross member and cut out the piece interfering with the front driveshaft. Everything is great now! brett
