    Got my 16.5 rims from boyce equipment for my m37

    Trail Worthy Fab offers recentered HMMWV rims for both M37 and M715, you just have to call or email them as the patterns aren't listed on there spec sheet. They only offer flat plate centers, so we're stuck with one offset, but looks like there around $200 a wheel, more depending on the options...

    m1031 transmission swap ??

    Seems you'd have issues with belt alignment with the pto/generator as well. Id have to look again, but I believe you'd have to swap inputs in the tcase, as well as buy the correct splined coupler, and find an original adaptor, or buy AA's adaptor. If you use AA's adaptor, you either have to use...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Been wanting to wrench on mine, but the garage isn't tall enough, and the foot of snow we just got doesn't help motivate me either

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Yeah, had a cold front move threw wed night/thurs morning. Some areas had winds clocked at over 70mph. We had 50 at the house. Not much damage, alot of down trees. Guy was coming from the Upper Peninsula, and the Mighty Mac was closed to anything other than cars and empty pickups, so they turned...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Merry Christmas everybody. While most people were unwrapping there gifts this morning, I was loading up my gift to myself. Scored 11-9.00x20 NDT's on rims from Craigslist. We tried to exchange yesterday, but the weather and power outages shut us down. Most are 80% or better, a couple are alittle...

    Are exhaust stacks illegal on a pickup truck?

    Having run into the Michigan State Police a few times for exhaust tickets, ill toss in what I've been told. Your exhaust system is suppose to be factory or factory spec. Anything deviating from that they don't like. I'll agree that there are tons of people with stacks, and ill confess to having...

    Generator trailer tongue jack

    Here's what I did for a jack. Its a Bulldog brand from TSC. Has the pinned foot that you can adjust before cranking it up/down. I repurposed it from another build I had done. The jacks' welded to some 1/2" plate, which I trimmed and that's all welded to the 2x2-3/8" angle that's welded to the...

    Plugs

    If you have a decent auto supply house, like a large Napa or Carquest, they have a rack with all sorts of body plugs and fasteners, may check there. Also, check out LMC Truck. They just now started to carry parts for the '72-93 Dodge trucks, possible they might have something

    XM-778 2 1/2 ton Cargo Truck, W/W

    I believe the idea is to make a one piece wheel, still in the 20" size, to avoid split rims, but to also run surplus tires

    Secm Air Compressor Wiring, External Tap

    After looking around online, a 30amp, 110v single circuit transfer switch should be what I need to make this happen

    XM-778 2 1/2 ton Cargo Truck, W/W

    XM-778 2 1/2 ton Cargo Truck, W/W

    Doesn't Cranetruck's XM757 have an outboard brake setup? Those new shoes Ferro found for him look very close to the same size as well, I think they were 16-20's

    New M101A1 Trailer Questions

    Lane, any chance you still have the part number for them coil springs, my SECM trailer could use a set, the springs are pretty flat after setting that box an an A2 chassis

    Secm Air Compressor Wiring, External Tap

    Id like to wire a short pigtail, or a junction box into the SECM so I can power the air compressor either by the generator or by plugging it into a wall outlet. I've heard of guys doing this, however I'm not positive how they wired them without back feeding to the generator. There is a large...

    2 piece wheels

    If your dead set against beadlock, or stock HMMWV rims, go find a stock H1 or H2 and buy those wheels, there a one piece alloy rim, so your "tire" guy will gladly mount them for you
