Re: RE: Re: RE: Pictures of FMTV Tires :lol: M1075 was gonna check his rims for us (hint, hint). I think the consensus so far is that the rims won't center on the lugs correctly since the back-side isn't countersunk. If that's correct, then you'd have to flip your rear hubs and run the...

Maybe, but the USA6x6 guy has been persona non grata over there for a long time.

Re: RE: Is this really an M36? Bummer.

Re: RE: Has anyone shortened their truck You just have to drive it from ND to Philly and back :D

Was it loaded or unloaded at the time? Most of the incidents involving violent trailer wagging that I have seen, experienced or read about were because there was too much weight behind the axle center-line making the tongue weight too low.

Very crafty Kenny! I haven't seen that one done before.

Thanks to our most recent donors. You guys are great!

Bjorn, I've considered it, but I only had a few decent offers last time I listed so I may go with David Uhrig MV Broker instead. I am also considering respraying the whole truck myself. I have a good spray-gun setup now so if I can get a few hours here and there to do it, then I may go ahead...

Mighty kind of you! [thumbzup]

I bid early to watch the bidders. I was going to bid on the last day, but they went over my budget. I think they went for $8-10k, which is a good price, but a little higher than I wanted to go. Man they are huge!! Cdub, thanks. It is starting to come together real well cosmetically. If I...

Took a few new pics today. I repainted the bumper, the tailgate and the hood-sides. I put all my bows back together with the help of my bro-in-law. After that we hoisted my new 3-color cargo top in place to really make it look sharp, but... turns out the top was for a deuce. Sigh...

Are you speaking from experience? I was really doubtful about the auto in my 923, but after driving it to and from Aberdeen, I love it. I know from one of your other posts that you are anti- Cummins, but I assure you that the NHC 250 and 8.3 CTA are very stout engines.

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Pictures of FMTV Tires The CTIS doesn't weaken the rim. The wheel valve is secured to the clamp-ring studs. On the FMTV, one end of the air line comes through a hub stud and the other is secured to the regular wheel valve stem. So, the rim doesn't have any extra...

Here's a good break-down of the MK48: http://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/mk48.htm

Re: RE: Re: RE: Pictures of FMTV Tires How do they look any more complicated or fragile than any other two-piece rim?

I will take a look at my truck tonight and study the schematic to see if I can find any more potential problems. Sounds like something is back-feeding into the charging system. My truck had some terrible grounding issues when I got it. It's got to be something big though to keep cooking the alt.

Re: RE: Re: RE: Pictures of FMTV Tires You're right Clinto, it was Damon. Here's a pic I got from his eBay. Looks good. I'll have to search his threads to see how the hub flip went, unless you read this Damon and care to chime in here ;)

Re: RE: Pictures of FMTV Tires That thought crossed my mind tonight. Would that give you the same track width all the way back? I do like the look of the FMTV wheels all facing the same way. The supply of 939 2-piece rims is limited. There should be a lot more of the FMTV rims in the...

RE: Pictures of FMTV Tires Great shots David! Thanks. The close-up on the lug holes makes it look like they are beveled on the outside only. I wonder what would happen if they were flipped and run on the rear. If they are hub-centered, they should ride just fine, but if they are...

M931A2, sweet!!
