    Weighed my bobbed Deuce this morning.......

    Wrong thread, but here is your answer. A 10,000 pound line pull means there is a "fuse" somewhere in the winch that will prevent it from pulling once that set amount is exceeded. Probably not down to the pound, but you can't pull 12,000 pounds with a 10,000 pound winch. There is a load sensor...

    Volvo Sugga Restoration underway

    Tried to fix links but it does not appear that it worked... Oh well, Sugga's are cool. I have only seen one in the states. Guess it fits right in there in Austin :D

    Extreme Unimog Video

    100% grade is 45 degrees. Up one foot and over one foot, up one foot and over one foot, etc. (points to make a 45* line) A 50% grade would consist of points on a line that ran like this: up one foot, over two feet, up one foot, over two feet. The slope is therefore more gradual at 22.5 degrees...

    M925-A2 RV conversion.

    Run waste oil, veggie oil or other alternative fuels or get something like this: http://www.rvmagonline.com/features/1107rv-2011-allegro-breeze = 13+ MPG big heavy trucks and trailers do not equal good fuel economy. Its just physics sir.

    M923A2 Engine Swap

    Did you ever make a decision on this? I would certainly keep the CTA motor and build it to your needs. Absolutely no reason to swap it out, certainly not with a Big Cam Cummins. The 8.3 can EASILY make 450-500 hp and 600-700 is not a stretch at all. Call some shops like Scheid Diesel, Garmons...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    Soni, While I can't say anything that hasn't already been said, I would like to offer you a case of your favourite beer for a job well done.:beer: I remember seeing your a Scorpion on a trail when you were still building them and they are still bad ass rigs IMO. The FEMTT is hands down the...

    Compatible transmissions for the M35a3 with the cat 3116

    just because those tires suck doesnt mean than you should drive 55 mph or that other tires cant go safely over that speed.... I don't know about A3 tires because I don't have one and never will. The "dont go over 55" crowd is not limited to this model or this thread by any means. They are...

    Compatible transmissions for the M35a3 with the cat 3116

    you guys are killing me with this thread, seriously.... ruining the MV hobby by traveling fast on a highway? tires only rated at 55 mph and a deuce is not "made" to go over 65 mph? Where does this **** come from? Maybe I spent too many years on pirate where people actually build all...

    H2duece

    I cannot speak about the strength of the deuce frame, but I do have body builders and upfitters guides for many of the Fuso trucks. They do not have a standard 34" frame rail until you get to the larger trucks like FM and new FK series. They are pretty beefy for a small truck in the FE/FG...

    Company making commercial LMTV Truck

    sorry to burst your bubble, but this is a long way from the perfect vehicle for commercial activities. It has been through several iterations as Stewart and Stevenson was bought and sold and merged, etc. It has a CAT motor in it (raging POS) and a complex of electronics that IMO are less than...

    My M1078 LMTV Project

    well, because its a Mac and they are just weird. Throw it and the iphone in the trash and go to Linux and an Android phone. Best decision I ever made. Otherwise, any decent image editor should allow you to rotate and resize images very easily. this took all of two minutes to type this message...

    more power out of a m35a3 ??

    ^^^ this, times 1000, that motor is a raging pile of ****, not to mention all the dumb ghey **** that CAT did to it to make it a PITA and $$$$ to work on... Yes, you can turn them up to probably 350 - 400 hp with some work (read $$$$), talk to a CAT dealer in your area. The intelligent choice...
