    24.5 or 22.5 wheels on M818

    I am looking to put either 22.5 or 24.5 wheels on my M818, at least on the front for now. I have searched for days and cant seem to get a set answer. What size in 22.5 or 24.5 would match up to the 11x20 NDTs in the back. Im just looking for a tire and wheel combo that is just easier to come by...

    Are 14.5 x 20's a crappy tire?

    I have a set on my m35a2 they seem ok to me. They wear really nice compared to the ndts. They have really decent traction. But they usually are not cheap new.

    My M818 recovery

    Someone added a pump in between the filter and the IP. I found a leak in the hose running from the pump and IP. Also my starter seems to be stuck engaged several seconds after the engine starts.

    My M818 recovery

    I went and picked up a M818 this afternoon. I traded a 1951 Plymouth rust bucket and $2500 for it. They threw in 2 new batteries, it has decent tires, and a hard top. Now the bad, it has a fueling problem. Once up to speed it runs fine to me, but it idles really rough. When you accelerate from a...
