I have used quite a lot of Behr. I prefer the Ultra not Marquee, myself, but I'm still rolling and brushing. Lately I have been using the Rustoleum camo colors in rattle cans. They seem to match better than they used to and the black is really flat. I've bought gallons of the Rustoleum...

Yea, bobbing is best use and you rebuild as you go. I moved my rear front axle back and am thinking about using the rear rear as a trailer for off road (driven). Here is another idea....use the four bottom dogbones and their axle mounts as a four link. They would fit across from each other...

What is busted on the trunion? I just removed mine from my A3 4x4 project. Of course bobbing makes that a mute issue. And yes, you are posting pictures now.

Maybe in heavier use than I use it there would be a more optimum tire and wheel than the 395 Michelin XZL on combat rims, but I don't have enough 000'S in my bank account to afford them. The Goodyear AT-2 that came on it had problems and may have led to a failure....about 20x more likely than...

Does it use the 2057 bulb? The 2057 is a high output (brake and turn) and low output (running) in one bulb. I got mine from superbrightleds.com, part number 1157-A51-PT. I like them because they are more visible from the side and have a protective cover. Available in amber and red (and...

No, I have not had issues when loaded and I don't worry about a blow out. Tires that are about to give up usually give some warning and have more age than these do. The Goodyear AT-2 14.00's that were on it before were egg shaped and stating to give warning signs of potential failure, but not...

The 395's are noticeably shorter and lower your top speed. They are my recommendation as well. Here they are on my M929. Definitely repaint the seal areas, new o-rings and valve stem seal. Load rating on the 14.00 AT-2 GY is about 9700 and the rating on the 395 Michelins is around 12.500.

Like already said, the brakes will not be a problem unless you charge the system with air via the emergency side. Just don't hook any air to it at all (on recovery). Sure, you have no trailer brakes but if you are using a mil truck for recovery, you should be fine. Ray, the emergency line...

No, not yet. I got interested in a front end lengthening project (using an 809 series hood) and am holding back on the lights for now.... have to get other parts of it together....like on it's wheels, drive train, new tranny, bed, seats, top, drivers door, +, +. I just got LED's for all...

I think I was still spot repairing rust so you might see a bit of red.

It better not or I'll have an axle that won't stay where it should. At that place the steel is 1/2" thick (two thicknesses of 1/4"). The frame is 11" deep right there. As I drilled out of the hole the bits catch, so easily broken. Going through one plate into the other, one can tell the...

VR....Thanks for posting up. Lots of people use Behr house paint over red primer. I'd consider the Rustoleum camo rattle cans to work on smaller areas and is an oil base. I prefer an oil based paint to seal the primer. I notice eventually the acrylic latex shows rust getting going. Maybe...

Not a trailer, but this is the wrong place to drill.

I wish they sold the camo colors in gallons. I take it you used RO flat black. Looks good.

Cheap (now LED) lights but work nice. Fixture $2 and led $7. I'm gluing in aluminum foil for better reflection.

Need an M105 bed (not entire trailer) brought from Fargo ND to N Indiana. Last bed I used a u-haul car trailer and bales of straw.

Would it have been possible to use the HMMWV wheels on the front or some non-bud wheels (I have some older trailer rims that are 16.5)? Looks good.

Hydraulic surge brake works well to 20k.

I think you will like the 5 ton better than you would a deuce. Congratulations. I like the 250 Cummins. Have you read about Behr paint yet? Enjoy....and let the wife drive it too.

Do they make it in quarts or gallons? I do like the oil based paints but found there is a difference in the flat black and the camo.
