I have a similar idea but using a Unimog 404 drop-side bed on an M-818.

Looks like there's a lot of road salt on that truck. Hope they hose it down as soon as it's delivered.

:cookoo::cookoo::cookoo::cookoo::cookoo:^^^^^^^

I don't like creating webwars, but I feel I must respond to this slander. Although some bartering occured, no agreement was ever confirmed on my end. There was an offer to ship the winch at a quoted rate per mile, but I felt the rate was rather high. Before I had a chance to dispute the...

I'm interested in a pair.

Thanks Bkubu. It's an M818. I will contact Dave.

What are some good sources for finding a winch for a 5-ton? I assume anything smaller than 20,000 lbs won't really cut it. Does it need to be PTO-driven or would hydraulic suffice?

You're nuts. I think that's the first I've ever heard someone say they want to move NORTH when they retire.:mrgreen:

What's funny is I can ride 30-70mph all day long on a snowmobile at -30 degrees, barely protected from the wind by a too-low windshield. Yet if there's no heat in an enclosed vehicle I become a baby.:roll:

This is an interesting point.^^^ Propane is a "wet" heat. I've been thinking of borrowing a friend's gas generator and strapping it down behind the cab. I have one of those box-type electric room heaters with a fan and I can sit that in the cab, and run a cord out to the generator. Any...

It will be at least a couple weeks I'm sure until all the paperwork is finalized, so it looks like I will dodge that bullet. Would have made for a fun trip though - after-all that's what these trucks were made for. Do you guys have much snow on the ground in Fargo right now? There's very...

Thanks for the offer to help. I will be hitching a ride down with a friend who frequently travels to Minneapolis. I'll still check out Cabela's though if I have time - those stores are awesome and we don't have them here. Do you know Andy @ Army6x6 in Owatonna? He's been great to deal...

Pics as requested. Keep in mind I have acquired a set of 16.00 x 20 Michelin XZLs that will be on the truck before I pick it up. Is there a market for a good set of stock rims and tires??

Wow!!! Way more replies than I thought I'd get on this question. Thanks for all the great suggestion guys. Thankfully there's no definite timeline to move the rig so I'm going to try and pick a weekend where the temperatures look favorable. This past weekend would have been ideal as the...

I will soon be driving the M818 I just purchased from Owatonna, Minnesota to my home just north of Winnipeg. The drive should take me around ten hours, although I'll probably stop halfway in Fargo, North Dakota to rest. I also want to avoid night driving until I get it home and go through it...

Thanks Mike. Army6x6 is who I just bought my truck from. I'll check out Andy's website for the TM.

LOL...... that's HP your thinking about.

Alright, I tried to find it in the Vehicle Specifications section under resources at the top of this webpage but couldn't find it. I googled "Cummins 250 torque" and found a couple other discussion forums talking about this engine - but the discussions weren't specific to the military 6x6 800...

I like your way of thinking.:-D

Thanks for this ^^^^^^
