    m35a3 tire fit

    I also believe you need to research the bead style that the A3 rims are designed for . The A3 tires have a different bead then the tire you want to use . I know guys are doing it , but then some guys say not to .

    Gillespie paint ratio

    I talked to Rapco about the hardener . I was told that the use of hardener would increase the gloss level to high for a MV . Even without the hardener it is not as flat as carc . What I would call satin or eggshell gloss level . I sprayed a cabplate reinforcement without reducing it at all...

I have seen alot of the group buy stuff on gun forums...

    IL DMV tells me M35A3 OFF ROAD USE ONLY

    I agree , I do not blame it on the clerk , he was a nice guy and just trying to do his job and felt bad that he brought it to the attention of his supervisor . In the end it was the supervisor that made the decision . The 20 Year old blonde superviser probally could not pick out my truck if...

    IL DMV tells me M35A3 OFF ROAD USE ONLY

    I think the reason you did not run into the problem with the serial # is the guy told me it does apply to vehicles before 1985 . All the A3'S serial #'s start at 500001 and go to 505500 range . Mine is 1840 of 5500 trucks . No prefix . I told the guy to just add some 0's before the serial # to...

    I go to get the AZ tittle from GL transferred into my name today . The guy at the desk noticed a "problem" the serial number has fewer digits then it should . I guess newer vehicles are required to have a 17 digit # the A3 has 6 digits . He went and talked to his superviser about it ...

    M105A2 trailer box

    I have seen them sell in pairs for less then 600 . You will have more than 500 in one trying to build from junkyard parts . You need to bid when their are several trailers , The smaller the number of trailers, the higher they go .

    M35A3 info needed?

    The brakes on my A3 are just as you described . My A2's seem to stop with much less pressure on the pedal . I just figured that the A3 brakes may need servicing . I have not had time to take a look at them yet . Another possibility is the larger tires just take more to get stopped .

The Cat also has a muffler .This all helps with noise . The engine and drivetrain seem pretty smooth and quiet . BUT them tires SCREAM . My...
