I've started rounding up parts to bob my M818. Dave at Eastern surplus has put together a "kit" with all the springs hangers plates shock mounts and stuff needed. http://www.easternsurplus.net/ You can contact him here. I havent decided on a bed configuration yet, weather or not I'm putting...

Ive searched all the threads I could find and HEMTT rims and combat rims are mentioned but nothing about the stock rims.

I've been thinking of a double tube setup or something to that effect.

I've always been more worried about roll overs! I've been thinking of somehow mounting a roll bar behind the cab thats tied to the frame. Just something other than my head to use as a pivot point when inverted.

A couple of quick questions; 1) How wide is the stock factory rim on the 5-ton? b. How big of a tire will fit on the factory rim? C} If you compress the sidewalls will a 16.00 x 20 XL fit on the stock rims? This ends the $50 questions. The $100 questions are next and they're a little bit...

If thats the one I'm thinking of it sold out of IN DRMO for $7k. The guy got several of them.

Well did ya get it home?

Great Idea having this sections for the 5tons! When will you start the 5ton "Hot Rodding" section?:twisted:

Paul, I shot you a PM. Also just curious, why the trans & transfer case change? Thx~Pappa-g

Was that van a 4x4? It had a winch. I see 8500 took more duces out of lansing today too.

Its located off of 696 at; 3111 W. St Joseph St Lansing, MI 48906 Its easy to get to and the guy there is ok but wont ever get the initiative box checked on his annual review. "These guys (guys inspecting trucks)climb over these things like they are made of gold, it's just more crap to sell...

Would the axle set back be the same for a M818?? Does anyone have any more pics of bobbed 5 tons?

There was a crew of 3 in a yellow van inspecting the trucks on the 11th. They went from truck to truck jump starting each one as they went. Sombody with alot of doe-ray-me! I wouldn't have paid that much for those trucks.

James, on the forward side of the injector pump below the fuel shut-off lever is a knurled knob. Turn this in or out I cant remember which, anyhow what this thing does is by turning it you override the shutoff solenoid there by allowing the truck to be tow started in the absence of a charged...

I see you looked at the fuel filter. Make sure the filter housing is full of fuel otherwise it takes forever to get it to run. I would turn the override out on the injector pump incase its not seeing battery power. Try switching tanks from left to right or vise versa. My left tank line draws air...

I believe the M818 frame length behind the cab is the correct size for a Duce bed. Hmmm :twisted:

Holy cow I didn't realize that it was 200 miles out. Thanks though:wink:

Pick me up a set of springs from Westfolk?

Does anyone have anny pics of this being done?

The prices of guns have almost doubled. A AR style rifle in .308 cal that sold for $900 three months ago is up around $2200 now and they are back ordered for 12 weeks. Ammo is drying up too. Makes me nervous:|
