    Crane Spreader (M108A2)

    In a previous thread someone (DH) asked a question about a spreader used to lift a bed. Rather than further hijack the OP's thread I figured I would post it here. The first pic is what piqued DH interest. Well, what it was originally is some type of home made tow sling device that was on...

    M1010 gpfu

    I've done my fair share of research here and on the Goreweb but can't find definitive info. Does anyone know if the Gov't strips out the Gas Particulate Filter Unit from all M1010s before they are surplussed? I've looked at lots of pics online and not seen any GPFU stuff in the back.

    M101A1 Build

    SO several years ago I ended up with a super useful M101A3. From that point on, the M101A1 was largely ignored. I even went as far as to install a steel topper off of a pickup truck and use it for storage. After a while I got tired of seeing it (as usually happens) and hitched up and hauled...

    Armor Headlight Issue

    So quite some time ago I installed some armor headlights on the back and sides of my deuce. Today I wired the side lights in with the back lights. All 4 lights are powered from the same wire. My problem is the left side light is blowing bulbs within about 10 seconds. Can't be getting more...

    M101 Project

    So I went for a visit to Devilman96s shop. He is working on an M101 he obtained a few years back. Apparently he has learned that with his Oh-9 you need a trailer for truck duties. He has already cut the welds and removed th fender wells. Each will be reinstalled 4" farther out giving him 53"...

    Driveability on Convoy Update

    While convoying to the GA Rally I had a problem develop on my M1008. The first leg of the convoy I was following Stonepicker1 up the turnpike for 200 miles. I ran the M1008 right at 65 the whole way. No issues noted. While doing the remaining leg of the convoy it started stumbling at 55...

    Onboard Air?

    Since I will be driving my M1008 to the GA Rally, I figured I better get some type of air system in place. I've toyed with portable, underhood, tank and tankless. After much consideration I've decided to go with a Puma 12V unit from www.buzzardgulch.com The website is a little odd but the...

    OKC to GA Rally

    Greetings folks. Warthog, has stepped up and offered me the back 10% of an 80s Suburban. Basically what this is, is the back part of the burb with the panel doors. If anyone is passing through OKC and can get this to the GA Rally or to someone going to the GA Rally, I would greatly...

    My 700R4 Story (so far)

    I will try to be brief but I'm kinda tickled today. So back in March of 2004 I won an Oh-9 from GL. It was a $500 boned out truck missing a door and some parts. I managed to get a good deal on a running K5 and stripped the door and tailgate off of that. The engine went back to the...

    New Crewcab Idea

    Just had a brainstorm of epic proportions. A cat 5 or better on the Saffir Simpson or an F6 tornado. As many know, the 900 series cab is wider than the standard cab. I'm wondering what the odds are of mating the pair to have a factory looking type cab?

    3/4" Towbar Pins

    Need some thoughts here. I have an extra towbar and the only feet I have for it are 3/4". I can cut some bushings and bush up the center of the pins to 1". Is there a strength consideration here? The way I'm looking at it is that the length adjusting pins are 3/4 so would.there be any...
