Better than a little head pressure from hitting the windshield when the latch doesn't hold. Hopefully you were trying to take the windshield out.

My biggest concern is wet pavement. Most of my driving will be on road so I'd like to have as much rubber in contact (without hydroplaning of course) as possible. NDT said the mud boggers down here all love the XMLs so I shouldn't have too much problem getting rid of the extras.

The more I thought about it the less I wanted to run the XMLs all the time so put a couple of bids on some NEW tires out of Hooks. Was hoping for 1 pallet and wound up with 3 so I'm going to have some spares :)

The front battery is behind the headlights on the passenger side then the rear battery is next to the firewall underneath the buss bar.

Going off what 98G said regarding modifications - this is a prime example of why you shouldn't buy someone else's nightmare. Yes, kudos to the seller for paying for the transfer but my recommendation is never buy something someone else screwed with and then decides to sell. It's one thing to...

I just added my welcome in the auction thread. Lots of SS members in the San Antonio area.

It turns out that Premier doesn't have much in the way of tires left either. I got there and he only had 5 Goodyear MV/Ts and they were junk. He felt pretty bad about it so gave me a GREAT deal on some decent Michelin XMLs. I didn't' really want them but that's what's on the truck now and I...

We're back in Texas now so needs to be something local. Whataburger Express? Nah. I'm afraid whatever the food theme named truck is called that it won't be ready by Temple.

Already planned to happen.

He picked an appropriate username since Suprman swooped in and saved the day! It's even green and not tan.

I like keeping my eyes on the road but prefer it not to be the spot right in front of the bumper.

Looks good! At least all of your tires match. I've got a brand new Goodyear for a spare but well used Michelin XMLs on the ground. What's the bracket behind the passenger door?

Well it looks like the hydraulic leak might be related to the cab latch being completely MISSING.

Thanks for the heads up. If they're all bad guess I can check Genesco. EDIT: My reading comprehension skills are slipping (so much for that English degree). The tires I'm looking at are at Premier Metal in Brenham not Torres in Navasota.

Hey I've had the M37 for 9 years and the deuce for 8. I just tend to put all the work and money into others and pass them on for the good of the hobby.

The tires are priced right enough that I shouldn't have any trouble getting my money back plus extra to cover the trip.

See post #3. I knew I had read about it somewhere but couldn't remember who did the post. I like the way yours looked though and is why I bought the GT Mat.

NDT gave me a run down on the condition of the truck. At this point the cab can't be lifted as the pump needs rebuilt but from what he could see underneath it doesn't look like anything was scavenged from it. The cargo cover is toast and the troop seats are broken. The left front tire has...

I know I've said it before but I'd like to think this one is a keeper. The 5 ton was supposed to be if I'd been able to get a license for it (I really loved that truck) and that's why I turned to the LMTV. If it runs and drives I'm going to hang on to it. If it doesn't then you'll be the 1st...

The auction had it listed as a Non-Runner with a "blown hydraulic line." The consensus was that the hydraulic pump had blown the seal like so many of them do. NDT is going to take a look at it and determine what needs done and whether it's a runner or not. At that point, if it runs and...
