    6x6 super single I saw at FT Carson GL lot

    I am not a big fan of the A3 either. Not that they are a bad truck and not that you don't get value for $4000-$8000 cause you sure do. I just like how the A2 looks better. I like the straight pipe whistler turbo. I'm just sayin' that's what I prefer. The only A3 that I have seen that I like is...

    Over 50 MVCC Units at Denver Airshow

    Thanks Johnathan. We just try and contribute the best we can and figure the rest will fall into place. I am very happy that the "hobby" and participation in the MVCC gives me time with my Dad, Mom and Tracie doing things we enjoy. It is also wonderful to find like minded people that enjoy life...

    Tubes required for super singles?

    You can run your stock 9.00 20 tubes. I have for a year cause I did not want to spend the $35 per 14.00R tube. However I am starting to repace the 9.00 tubes with 11.00/13.80R tubes and 14.00R tubes when I get a flat. Why the mix of tubes? Cause I could not get enough of either size to get all...

    Deuce Tire Wear

    I have to say that once a tire starts to cup you need to rotate it to the back. You should always check to see if you have a part that is worn or bad but front tires on anything will cup. Once the tires get cupped they will pull or steer funny and enhance the cupping/wear problem. Tire rotation...

    6x6 super single I saw at FT Carson GL lot

    I have trucks both ways. Singles and duals. I think they both do their jobs very well. A lot of that depends on YOUR personal preference. I have a M-35A2C that I put 395's on the stock rims and I would not go back on that truck. It now runs 65 MPH on the highway (flat ground) at 6000 feet. It...

    installing turbo on 818 with jakes

    I want to do something similar to my 818 so i can run the 49 inch tires and get some down the road speed but not compromise on the mountain climbing ability. Nice job.

    roll call of EXISTING Vietnam gun trucks

    By the way. I thank you for your service to our country and for putting yourself in harms way. You may hear that from time to time but I don't think it is said enough. I try and say it as often as I can when I get the chance.

    roll call of EXISTING Vietnam gun trucks

    So I guess rather than a replica we would be doing a tribute truck. I had the two mixed up I think....... We just want to build a truck that represents what a period truck would look like but not an actual truck like "Sunshine Superman". I use that "real" truck as an example because we want to...

    How much is this LARC worth?

    There were a pair of LARC V's operating from the beach in Mazatlan Mexico to an island offshore when I was there in 1988. Cool then and cool now. Hopefully someone will put this one back to work. They always look happier when they have a purpose. Please let us know if you guys can get a deal...

    roll call of EXISTING Vietnam gun trucks

    My Dad and I have been kicking around the thought of building a 5 ton gun truck but did not want to step on any toes with regard to real vs. replica. I guess there are several replica type trucks out there so hopefully it would not ruffle any feathers. Especially since we were not going to claim...

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    So since this older post got brought back up.......Are there any updates to the longevity of the motor and or if you need to run the IP off of the turbo motor and such? I ask because I have an 818 and an 817 I would like to turbo and put on bigger tires for more road speed. 65 MPH would be...

    Tubes required for super singles?

    I really like my 395's. Had them on a year now. BTW akonitony. If you had no problem taking the tires off of your 16.5 inch rims it was because they have no saftey beads in the rim. Most tubeless rims have a saftey bead in the rim that the bead of the tire has to pop over to be seated...

    M35A3 Prices at Auction these days??

    They were not bad looking trucks. I expected them to be around $8000 considering what stuff normally goes for in our back yard. Somebody got them for a good price. I did not get the M-101 I wanted but then again.....I'm cheap too.
