    Those are sweet tires. Especially in dual form. Or you can run 395's as singles.

    100dollarman's 1st bobbed M35a3!

    His Bikini model is Hawt. I'm just sayin'. That's what happens when you are a cool guy like Mark. Mark get's some super clean trucks in his yard. This A-3 will be interesting to see. Any thoughts on prices yet or is it too early to tell? I have a friend that is interested in a bobbed deuce...

    my first gl win!!

    The CDL is a trickey question to answer and also up for interpretation by LEO's. It has Air over hydraulic brakes. It is not a full air brake system. The GVW being over 26,001 lbs. is the issue that brings the most pro and con debate. Anything 26,001 lbs and over GVW is supposed to require a...

    M35a2 with M1101, what do you think?

    It is a fresh way to look at it. I still like the old with the old but........I wonder what it would look like all tarped out......Those trailers are wider than the 105 right? I know you photo chopped it but maybe someone needs to do this to see how it looks at all angles. Just sayin'.:grin:

    404 Unimog Radio Box on a Bobbed M35

    Interesting idea. Tell us more when you get moving on it. Anyone else do this yet? Here recently I've seen pictures of a russian box on a 5 ton in the UK. It fit real nice.

    my first gl win!!

    Chief I can totally appreciate your opinion and you are entitled to it but I disagree with the general premis you are presenting. According to what you are saying and if we extrapolate your logic to the everyday situation it would then be unsafe and irresponsible to drive these trucks, ever...

    my first gl win!!

    OK. I drove my M-817 home to Denver from French Camp CA. Did not know if it ran or not. Had it towed out of Frnch Camp as I ran out of time with GL and did not want to forfiet the truck. Put batteries in, Checked fluids, Fired it up, Checked brakes, Checked tires, Left tow yard. Was it a gamble...

    Another way to Bob a Deuce!

    Hundy......You are da man. I'm glad business is strong for you. Keep on truckin'. And when I need more tires I'll just have to come out and see y'all and what's new at the yard. Oh darn. That M-818 you have is a super clean truck. I remember that one when I came over last spring with my...

    Extreme Trucking

    I know the Mule was the original UTV but we can't take them more than 300 feet off of the trail according to the US Forrest Circus......I mean Service. After we get the hot tub in the M-332 trailer and the satelite with flatscreen we may not come home till they kick us out. :D Or we run out...

    moose hunt /MV get together 2010

    Nice fish. We caught some small Brook Trout but that's all there is around where we hunt anymore. We saw a lot of animals but had a hard time getting the right shooter with the right animal. Like you said. Hotter and dryer than any of us remember. Walking around was like walking on Rice...

    moose hunt /MV get together 2010

    Awesome pics guys. Congrats on your harvest. We have a very tough time getting moose tags here. We have contemplated the Moose and possibly Grizzly up North there. Like the other guys I need to come and see Alaska. Having those spoons on the front of the truck are just too cool. Sweet!!!!

    Just a thought for the Ultimate 5 ton

    Then dual up the front wheels and add the tracs to that. They also do the trac band for single wheels so it is like tire chains only easier and more floatation but not as much as dualing the front.

    Towbar stowage

    I feel your pain. We have a medium towbar stowed under the box on my Dad's M-220 shop van truck. There was a ladder box somone built between the frame and the box. We put a board in the bottom so the towbar does not fall out. It works great. On a cargo truck I don't think there is that gap at...

    Extreme Trucking

    Yeah. Windy point is pretty scarry to drive past. I think the drop is more like 1500 feet or more to the bottom. And the road gets real narrow right there. I don't know how the road just stays there without being washed away every year. There is a bypass for bikes and snowmobiles but four...

    Thanks to moderators

    We both know that's not true.:D You're just better at sayin' what needs to be said. IMO.

    Extreme Trucking

    No Elk for the second year in a row other than the shed wired to my grille. He was like scrappy doo with most of his antlers broken off. A real fighter but I think the big dog just finally wore him down. Don't know if he got shot or died from competing for the ladies. I tend to think he got tore...
