Yep. Daniel, Fastnova, got it done. Super fast, friendly, and no issues.

I think I sent you a PM, if not, send me one. I'm on my phone and this mobile site isn't the smoothest......

Finally got EUC approval on my 998 up in Yermo. Just wondering if anyone knows who offers the best prices around or if someone happens to be making a trip along that route or close and wants to make some extra $. Veritread has a company willing to do it for $729, so it'll have to be less than...

Good to know and thanks for the heads up. Hub flipping was definitely the best and easiest way to go overall, especially not having a mill to modify the adapters. But if I ever wanted to go even wider tracked, dish out plus hubs flip sounds cool ;-)

Thanks. That post was a wealth of information! I'll keep it for the next go a with these clowns.

That's what I was hoping. What storage place did you use?

Agreed on the ride height issue. If can get a hitch receiver onto it, I'll definitely put an adjustable drop hitch on it. And thanks for the info on the bolt placement and size 👍

98G lives there now. Look him up on here.

I recently bought a M923 5 ton from Fort Hood, TX. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I can't make it there to pick it up before they start charging me ridiculous fees. Just need someone local to pick it up and hold it for me, no more than 2 weeks. Please let me know if you can help and how much...

Perfect. Thanks!

I've searched and searched and can't seem to find what size the pins in the actual leg are on a standard Medium tow bar. I know about the 3/4" VS 1" feet ends where it hooks onto the truck in tow, but what size pin are in the end of the leg where it accepts the feet? Thanks in advance

I have an 88 M923 to go pick up. My plan is to drive there in my car with a little tow dolly in tow, then tow my car back. Obviously the issue is the pintle hitch on the truck VS the 2" ball on the tow dolly. How do y'all suggest adapting the truck to tow the trailer? Are there any standard 2"...

No real need to bend 2 tabs other than to be extra sure it's not going anywhere. 2 were bent when I pulled it open, so I bent 2 again. Good point on the oil degrading the grease. I never really thought about it in that order, just the grease seeping into the axle once it's hot and oily on its own.

Luckily, the years of seapage around the hubs kept the studs pretty oily, so driving them out wasn't bad at all, especially with that old wheel face as an anvil and with a 24oz hammer. Driving them back in was a breeze. Using that wheel face you can just drive them right on through.

UPDATE: You can't run the rims dish out. At least not with the aluminum MRAP wheels I have. You could MAYBE get away with it if you have the 50/50 offset style or some of the steel models with long outturned valve stems, but with the standard offset aluminum MRAP wheels with the short valves...
