That is a great story. I just recently went from a bobbed deuce to a 5 ton. So I geuss I to can welcome you to the 5 ton club. I think next you owe your wife a Pinzgauer. It like the mini van of military vehicles.

Hahaha that's great!

And I like redhead and blondes.

Yeah! That is just what I want to do. There is a ton of room there, might aswell use it up. The fold down step is a good idea. The front bumper on my 813 must not be the right bumper. it is just a straight piece of "C" channel. That was why I was talking about tapering it back toword the fenders.

I'm thinking of wedge cutting the winch bumper on my M-813 a few inches outward of the frame (probably right in line with the side of the grill) and then bending it back toward the fender by a foot or so. I'll weld onto the length of the bumper to bring it back to the stock width. then using the...

I don't know if anybody in the area needs parts off those early duece looking trucks with the gas job, auto tranny, ant eater nose and the waffle axles.(yeah those are all the technical terms). Never the less I know where there are 2 of these in a junk yard. One has a winch. The owner said they...

So HEMTT's have less back spacing then 5 ton combats? Anyone out there have specs on the track with difference? has any one run HEMTT's on the front to gain the clearance but run 5 ton combat on the rear to make not look so odd.

Postman does have a fair price on his 5 ton rims. I just want to weight all my options. the only thing that has me thinking leaning toward the HEMTT rims is that I might be able to get a set locally for $50 a rim. I love your point about the rims being 4x overkill. my plain for this truck is to...

Is the back spacing the same between 5 ton and HEMTT rims? Does either one have any advantages? Does one have stronger stud? Better construction? Better o-rings? Ect...

I most certainly will. nothing beats a good day of junkyarding the old iron. hard to find any now thanks to high scrap price and "cash for clunkers"

My goal is to super single my new M-813 on 16.00/20. I'm looking for info on what is the best rim set up. I seeing talk about HEMTT rims will fit if you machine out the center of the rims to fit the hubs on the front axle. Is there any bennifit to running the HEMTT rims? What rim combo has the...

Looking for any salvage yards in the New England area that might have 800 series 5 ton parts. I love junkyarding but can't seem to find any green trucks in New Hampshire. I was told about a guy in Revere Mass that cuts up big green truck all the time but I'm not sure of his exact location. Any...

Thanks guys, This is all great food for thought. I think I will buy two group 31's and if I fell the need get to more. That makes perfect sense.

Thank you Karl. We do see some cold winters in NH. Not this year yet. No snow yet and it was 60% out yesterday. So you are saying that the 4 battery system is stronger. But over kill in most situation. Is there any issue with to much power on the 4 battery set up? And what kind of batteries are...

I just picked up an M-813. It needs battery's. Just looking for a little advise on what is the best battery setup. Two of those big 6d what ever?? what ever?? Type or 4 of the regular truck size? what is your brand of choose. I would like to eventually do a solargizer and run 12v...
