Those black wheel chocks are most always missing. I don't want to hijack the OP's thread, but does anyone have a picture of how the wheel chocks are retained? I know they are stowed under the cab under the passenger side door. There is a hole on top of the wheel chock from what I have seen so...

A friend who is a fellow SteelSoldier and a retired Marine (motor-t) told me that they would run the truck up onto the two black wheel chocks placed back to back (to form a platform). The truck would be jacked up and the wheel removed. Then, they would chain up the axle. He said this was done...

Does anyone have a cell # for Eric that you could PM me? Thanks!

Can you research anything that shows that, if a vehicle is purchased outside of TX, the tax is paid when the vehicle is registered within the state? If you can find something like that, then you could show that to GP. This is how it works in Maryland. I showed documentation of this to...

As you have surmised, the truck is probably fine. But, I'd either make sure they get it running or you get a good deal on the truck because you would be taking a risk. At a minimum, I'd insist on being able to make sure the engine is free. The others who have stated that the soft top is the...

Considering the truck will require a detach or similar trailer, your $4K quote is pretty good (possibly on the low side). Speciality trailers cost more. If the truck could fit on a step deck (it can't unless you remove the cab top, windshield, exhaust, etc.), you could get it moved for around...

FUZZYTOASTER posted about a few turbos that he is offering for sale...both C and D turbos.

Perfect. Thanks!

Is it just a plug and play part or does it require any adaptation? I have one to replace, too. Thanks!

I once had a USMC M998 that had multiple bullet holes through the floor board...from the inside out! Well, that is what I suspected based upon the size and look of the exit hole. No real way for me to be sure. I also had an M1045 that had holes going into the door right above the supplemental...

I bought some black plastic rear composites from Midwest Military. They were manufactured by one of the OEM manufacturers. I don't recall the manufacturer, although I believe it is Truck Lite. I went with black because the camo right around the light is black. You could always paint whatever...

My recommendation would be to have it towed. It is the safer plan. I have used a towbar to tow vehicles before, although not that far. If I had to tow something over like 20 miles, I'd get it towed or hauled. Personally, I'd rather spend the extra money for peace of mind. I wish you the...

I bought my wiper blades off of eBay from C&C Surplus. I am using them on the same truck and they work fine.

Impressive. Thanks for sharing, Howard!

Welcome! Please share pictures of your truck. We would love to see it!

I don’t disagree, but if it’s an issue in your state, you’ve got to argue it with your DMV.

I have no doubt you are correct in your post (entire post, but specifically the part about not needing additional lubrication), but I add conditioner for other reasons...mainly to remove water that accumulates throughout the year and to prevent fuel gelling in the cold. Whether it works or not...

I add a good diesel conditioner (usually either Power Service or Howes) with every fueling.

Awesome! It reminds me of the time I took an M35A2 onto Ft. Meade for 4th of July festivities. It was crowded as hell. I'm driving around looking for a place to park when some Private directed me into a small parking lot. After off-loading the family (and friends), the officer in charge...

That is a nice truck. I know Nate (SWATMod). He is a good guy.
