    M931A2 with LMTV bed.

    I bought an LMTV bed for my M35A3 to have side access at the GL sale this week. My M35 bed, with fixed sides is becoming a dump trailer. I've thought of it with my 931A2 but can't bring myself to make such major work on a vehicle I'll probably sell (2012 rebuild). If the LMTV bed is clear...

    So, what's the one thing you'd change?

    How about getting rid of and editing classified ads? Am I missing something obvious?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I'll have to live with the 14.5 singles until I can work out the 11.00's. I come up short both wheels and tires to change to duals. I'll start collecting to eventually go to the 11.00's on the rear. Part of the reason I wanted to change was not having side access to the bed. The rigid sides...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    An update to show fitting the canopy on the 929. I had 3 bows and decided I needed more headroom, but not too much sticking above the cab protector. I had a troop seat, frame and canopy from an A3 sold and found I could use the uprights to go higher and two of the arched cross-members cut...

    M1101/02 trailers: I need to change the wheels and need the exact size

    Probably by weight or let out the air and see if it collapses down. I can use the take offs for a trailer, but not flush with money. PM me with the bottom line price.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    LOL...Who has some new cheap budd rims Chris? Maybe trade for a couple of good A3 with 14.5's. Edit....need 8 or 9 rims + 11.00 tires....have some A3 wheels.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    The great looks of your truck has helped me change plans. I'm thinking of doing 11.00 on my A3 rear and don't have rims, but have a friend with some tires I could get reasonable. I was going to make the deuce into a 4x4 and use 395's on it, but the 11.00 would be a great alternative, leaving...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Mainsail, Don't leave us hanging, tell us the rest of the encounter. It has to be as funny as the first half.

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Plus you're not carrying the weight of the paint reservoir...and great price on the unit. Did the nozzle seem right to you, clogging and such?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Yes it is....and the 11.00's are perfect.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Put an ad in the parts wanted to see if there are any close to you and offer some camo netting in trade. You might get lucky.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    The older ones are wood and the newer bows are (thin) steel across the top and fiberglass uprights. Older troop seats are wood and the newer troop seats are fiberglass (plus the metal frame parts).

    Deuce runs fine then dies. (Fixed)

    I like the 11.00's also, but with the 14.5 r 20 up front (on A3 wheels). They are the same revolutions per mile, same diameter but with less offset rim and a flotation/wider tire. One of my first 5 tons was made into a 4X4 quad cab (using 395's) and there were some really nice Goodyear G177...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    It would be interesting to see the difference (or not) from Deep Forest Green FS 34086.

    Deuce runs fine then dies. (Fixed)

    Sweet...nice looking truck. Good you found the problem. If those are 11.00's, I have a set of 365's for the front.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    What is the FS number on that? Is it 34086? It looks Olive drab.

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Sweet! What FS number? Did you use the black 37030 on the wheels, they look glossy?

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I've been trying different brands of exterior flat and none are as good as the Behr in the Ultra Premium Plus or Marquee. Personally I like a little Floetrol to slow it down. I bought the FS 37030 Black from Ace (yes Ace can mix to FS numbers) and can tell the difference, even on rough but...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Yes absolutely!! The quality of our work is in the details. They accumulate... as does the lack of detail.
