Wow I would of figured the tire would just tire apart. Very interesting.

Just to clarify, are you saying that you take the chain and run it through a tire so if the chain snaps the tire will stop or slow down the snapping force?

I always have horrible luck with tow straps. I am usually pulling out someone I don't know and they run over my tow straps and fray them badly or the tow straps just snap. But I have only used the 4'' inch or so wide straps. I see that alot of you guys are using 6'' inch wide straps and having...

You don't think a chain that has a minimum break force of: Grade 43 - 16,500 lbs Grade 70 - 18,500 lbs Is strong enough to use for pulling myself or others out? I don't use chain alot so I don't know what they will do, thats why I'm asking.

I often go out and play in the mud with my truck and although I do have a winch... its a pain in the butt to operate and rewind back once you are done. I have been looking locally for some tow chains and no one has anything bigger than 3/8'' thick. My question is which would you have more...

$1,700 for it was a great deal! Congratz!

Actually that's not true. You are entitled to new parts in a situation like this. This is something the insurance companies have been screwing people over with for years. Theoxman doesn't have a contract with that car owners insurance. Since he doesn't have a contract and didn't agree upon the...

GUYS! You are doing this all wrong! Go get a historical vehicle plate or special interest plate if your vehicle is not old enough. Then when you want to use it outside of the limits of the historical/special interest plates, go get a 4 day temp tag. Those cost $10 or so bucks and there is no...

Dont go through your insurance. Don't make a claim or even call your insurance. Only deal directly with his insurance company. Don't give your insurance policy number to that guy or his insurance company. I do this every time there is an accident and I am not at fault. It keeps your insurance...

I live in Oregon and recently purchased a M35 with only a bill of sale, and gov SF-97 form. Took it to DMV and it was extremely easy to get the title put in my name. About that truck you listed... $3K is high for it. There is a fellow member that is selling his in Oregon, check out his...

Great Job Ian and the Xtreme 4X4 crew! Interested to see what happens next!

well if any of you guys are interested in it and want to buy it, I can drive over to it and check it out for you. I'm not familiar about the early dueces but I do have a M35A2, so it can't be that different. I'm also a cert mechanic for gas motors so I can tell you if there is any issues.

I posted this in the Duece forum and noticed this forum afterward. It should of been placed in this forum to begin with but i didn't know if it was a m35 or what. Apparently its a M211. I live very close to this truck and found it locally on craigslist. It appears to be in great shape. Take a...

1953 Military G.M.C. 6X6 Found an M35? 1953 6x6 for sale close to where I live. Thought I would post it in case someone might be looking for one.

Ya I need one too. I don't want a tan one, it won't go with the truck. I need a green or camo top.

Congratz on getting the truck and welcome aboard!

I like how you think! :beer:

I just read the whole 24 pages. Do I get an award or something? My head hurts. I will add though, because there was some discussion about the winch on the M35 and its capabilities. I recently pulled 36,000lbs with it no sweat. One of those gravel dump trucks was trying to transfer the rear...

A 1985 AM General M35 is the same exact truck as a 1987 AM General M35 other than being 2 years newer. Heck all the M35A2s are the same truck. The only problem I had with insurance was that some of the other agents weren't able to find AM General as a manufacturer they covered. So they couldn't...
