    Fmtv vs unimog

    I agree about reasons for not comparing , and it is apples to oranges as far as my opinion goes. , I do know Unimog guys are well, freaks for there trucks, and that's cool, But an outside point of view and having 4 wheeled with some and other info, I am not the Unimog fan. There are exact...

    Go LOW and you can't go back!

    This was a problem that was caused by thousands of drivers driving without proper instruction to the TACTICAL vehicle they were driving, and was all but gone when driving techinics changed, mostly do not use low in reverse, Why, in my OPINION it is a way to keep inexperienced and experienced...

    True or not

    madddog308 is correct. You can speculate as much as you want, even today the amount of vehicles brought back and forth and the amount left are staggering. Many units keep there vehicles, even then. Many do not, even then. For every article of an expert who knows all, and show a pic of a few...

    How stuck have you gotten your Deuce PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN

    It looks like you pulled it deeper into the mud wall with the winch cable out in front , I do not know if you tried it the way it went in, but that would sure have been a ton easier and less broken parts. But very cool shots :) Always glad to see trucks get stuck and no wimping out :):):)

    New M923, battery issues. . .

    the large batts need a charge rate of 13.6 at least to bring them up. especially true on hawkers. A maintainer desulphater after bringing them up for a few days will do the most repair you can get. Smart chargers are important becuae they have different levels of charge for the batts needs...

    LOL :) An over inflated tire bounces more ") max tire pressure is stated on tire, and for a max load. factory settings are the best for most uses. Tire professionals at tire stores will never understand what those of us who run different tire pressures want and need . Sometimes I forget but...

    Front tires not spinning

    Far from junk as so correctly said above , They work well, these trucks are old and very few know how to drive them. The less one knows about them the more you hear they don't work. Yes the air shift is an upgrade. Yes the sprags served well for many many years. It reminds me of the posts "...

    What's the going price for a set of hawker batteries?

    Yes. used batts are not worth much at all, No one knows whether they were kept fully charged or left to sit and sulphate, severely shortening there life, the hawker batts are only stated by the manufacturer for a 3 year life, We all know they will go longer, but used batts are a crap shoot even...
