I have not posted for some time. Partly due to covid the other due to moves. 3 times in 2 years. Sold the house, 2 shops and the 2 acres. So, with this said I am pleased to hear about this new Munitions Forum. Several years ago I acquired a 50 Cal. ring mount with complete gun carriage w/ ammo...

Typical poor quality rebuilds. New have a nearly polished bore. Rebuilds use course stones which allows fluid to leak by.

Several months ago Pep Boys had them offered for around $400.

I have a 454 with M1028 running gear in my 85 M1009. It also has a painless wiring system. My 90 blazer has a cummins 4BT with 700R. The 6.2 just did not have the guts to pull something up the mountain. I am putting a cummins 6BT in my M1028. I do miss the 24 volt system for my deuces and 5...

There is not much expense involved on the conversion. There is more labor involved than money. Unfortunately I did not take blow by blow photos of the conversion like I am on the cummins in a M1028. Most of the articles on this conversion are missing most small detail photos and explanations...

Bobber Do not remember if I posted up photos of my bobber, so here goes. Electric wipers, lockout hubs, detroit locker, MRAP seats, muffler, receiver hitch, upgraded oil filter system. It started life as an M109A3 with a machine shop inside, geared towards gunsmithing. The M105 trailer bed was...

This is probably my first post in 2 yr. I am in the process of lifting my 1028 4" and replacing the 6.2 with a 5.9 12 valve cummins. I am using mostly ORD parts and RSS for the rear disc brake conversion. I did some research on tires on the 4X4 sites and I agree with their findings regarding...

An alternative to the expensive aftermarket brand names is www.generalspringkc.com. They are located in Olathe, KS. I believe you will find everything you require with them. I bought rear spings for my 1968 GMC 4X4 suburban to give me an extra 2". I would like to raise my M1009 about 2". Any...

I am new to bead locks. My question: is it possible to break down the bead on the tire without taking the thing to a tire shop? I have 5 ton bead locks with 1400s.

Thanks for the info. Was unable to locate any info regarding changing to rockwells. My buddy has a nice 211 body wise and have not attempted to start the engine. Previous owner stated it ran but would not shift. Considering my buddy physical condition as a result of Desert Storm he has problems...

M 211 with rockwells modifications I have used advanced search and am unable to locate a thread on rockwell differentials under a M 211. Any one have or know of the process or if it is feasible?

Need assistance with inspection and possible assistance in transportation. This inspection at an individuals residence regarding an M715.

Here I am speaking from personal experience regarding "bustin heavys" which in translation means changing tires. In Nam we would flip the tire over with the lock ring towards the ground and sit on the inside of the rim to air the tire. Just do not get your cheeks over the edge of the rim.:-o Now...

Let me put this info to the drivers. While in Viet Nam and driving deuces when getting up to speed was essential, I/we would place our left arm through the steering wheel and shift the transmission and shift the transfer case with the right just as fast as possible. In an attempt to be a...

I use chains frequently here on the mountain. From experience the bungee thing does not work. If the tire spins very much the chains will come off the tire. Not fun to crawl under a truck and unwind the chains from a rear end or front end, especially on a hill. I use real chain tensioners which...
