RE: chopped Nice chop-job Tom! Good to see you back on the SS forums!

Here's the 939A1/939A2 cargo variant:

Ouch, Mark. What did you run into? Or, what ran into you?

Sounds like a fun project Keith. Keep us posted :)

Well, it's Grant, but no, they're not going on the grocery getter or the stroller. :) He's going to have to wait a while before I build a truck for him!

I got a set of 4 12-bolt radial HMMWV rims and 36x12.50 tires and 2 20-bolt 5-ton rims with 395/85R20's (my avatar). I plan to use the 5-ton rims and sell the humvee rims. I just need to find 4 more FMTV rims.

Nice trailer DH. I have been watching the fuelers and I can't believe the prices!

Don't think so Joel. It is pipeline equipment, but not specific to the pipeline truck.

Even worse is with a tank 1/2 empty. I used to work for a oil service company and we were always hauling water and drip gas away from locations. It really gets interesting when you have 500 gallons in a 1000 gallon tank and it gets to sloshing. It can change the center of gravity in an instant.

Oh, come on David. I'll give you a file and a breaker bar for your trouble :) Jason, U-hauls are crazy expensive these days. I got an estimate just for giggles and for the smallest van from MO to VA it would be over $500. Plus the plane ticket, plus lost income for time off. So, Marcus...

Holy cow! That's a LOT of stuff!! Marcus, I owe you bigtime! No wonder the Ranger was squatting. Now, I need to figure out the best way to crate that stuff up for shipping it east. How much of that equipment actually fits in the box? That will go great with the 756 pipeline truck. My...

Craig, when you get a moment sometime, put a gauge on the clamp-ring studs. I'm curious to know what the difference is in the stud size, if there is one. My rims used 10 1-1/8" nuts to secure the clamp ring and used 2 15/16" nuts to secure the CTIS wheel valve to the same studs. The 1-1/8"...

Here's a few pics of my wheels and tires.

Mine were the A2 type, obviously. I did the first one myself. Once I was satisfied that I could do it, I took the next one to the tire shop and paid someone else to do it. Watching the tire guy do was much more satisfying that doing it myself :) The A2 o-rings come out looking like...

I'm about 50-60 minutes from Portsmouth. Time is rather limited right now with the baby and all, but I can get it for you in a pinch. Keep me posted.

I cut mine out the same week I got it and replaced it with a Furd starter solenoid mounted on the inner fender. It worked for 10 years plus without a hitch.

Only 45% interest compounded daily :)

Tapping foot impatiently..... :D

Mark, if you just would have hit that lotto! Ted, thanks. He's gonna need a truck-load of Pampers before he's done ;) David, he'll definitely be getting his first MV at a young age. Whenever he's old enough to hold a wrench! Mike, sure, what do you need, like 4 or 5?

Alright! It'll be good to get it home! It'll make your freebie feel less alone ;)
