    There is a search function on this site, for questions like this that are asked a few bazzilion times, But to be honest the best reason for using it is you will get enough answers to fine tune questions and just learn a ton more, good luck.

    The A-frame kit (hoist) for M35-let's talk about it

    A few guys were saying a chain hoist would be good, Well when I had mine I used a chain hoist for a few reasons instead of the winch, easier and more controllable operation, I liked being right there doing the work as i lifted things, It was fine and worked well.

    Whats a kit? Is it packeged from uncle Sam ? A crate? Or is it a set put together or sale by a vendor or individual? It does say its a 14ft cover ?

    Actually no there does not need any leyway for what you asked, Actually just because you submerged a toyota and it has not siezed yet, Does not mean there is not water in there,There is. It does make sense that the shorter the time and distance under water the less that gets in, that is just...

    Anyone have any videos of 900 series trucks mudding?

    Did you notice the vid GHall sent, very very cool, but first thing was when he was in there deep, very noticeable the tires were packed with mud like slicks. If he aired down to like 15 he probably would have walked right thru that, also when he got out one could see the tires were so full of...

There is one series of vehicles i know of that has...

    Thanks for the update, It is a shame how slow an air up and down is with all those tires even for 6, But i don't think that would have helped one bit :) Nice job though, and glad to hear you are enjoying that truck !!! I would also love to come down and spend some 6 wheel time :)

    Road Speed 900 Series Truck?

    Don't speed, its just not as cool as some guys think, in fact it is bad for the whole hobby... If you are, and sometimes it sure is hard not to, Hit the brakes hard at a decent clip in a big parking lot, and see what it feels like, So you don;t join the few hundred soldiers that bounced off the...
