Thanks, Bill. I look forward to meeting you. You are welcome to ride with me or there might even be another truck that needs a driver. Let's wait and see.

This thread is the official sign up, so WYSIWYG. Hopefully, more participation to come.

Yes, please join us! More information will be posted when we get a better idea of participation. I'll send you a PM with my cell phone number too. Thanks for your interest.

I thought Steelsoldiers was the one and only? :-D Seriously, I did post a link on www.g503.com . I would appreciate you posting a link to here on any other MV forums you frequent. Everyone is welcome. Thanks.

Vehicle: M1009 Passengers: None

We are organizing an Oklahoma City Area Convoy for December 20, 2008. All military vehicles are welcome and encouraged to participate. Hopefully, this will be the first event of many for the OKC area members. Other convoys, parades, rallies, and community service projects may follow. Tentative...

Ross, no kingpin changes necessary.

The author of the thread bought it.

Yep, OKC will be one of the national off-base warehouses, about 400,000 SF. They are hiring 30+ workers right now. Warehouse will be for indoor, palletized stuff only. No trucks/vehicles.

I have towed tandem a few times. It can be done, but that is a big load when using the same sized tow vehicle. I prefer to have a larger vehicle to tow with. When I had 2 bridge trucks to tow, I pulled them 300 miles with a M911 no problem. If you do it, be sure to hook up the brakes. It...

Welcome to Steelsoldiers. The M1009 is a fun MV to have. I use mine for all the time. Good luck with a purchase. You might want to contact a local member to look those over for you because I'm not sure you will get one for under $1500. Could be a wasted trip to Missouri. Also remember 10%...

Oops. Pics here

Those are awesome looking wheels and you are going to really like those tires on your 5 ton. Here are pics of mine.

You might also look for a M917/M918 dump if you want a 6x6(can't remember the #). If you are ambitious, try a M911 with Crysteel PLS Dump Bed. :-D

Yes, Yes, Yes

They are for different eras. One is WWII and one is Vietnam

Sounds like a new project truck in the works. :-D Better trade off that M818 real soon too!

With your elevation in C Springs, maybe the turbo on the M926A2 would be even more beneficial? I know Madsam has reported about significant power loss on the NHC-250 up in those Rockies.

The M936A2 is clearly a superior choice over the M816. But you might need to consider your intended application for the wrecker. Most of the time, my M816 is used around the yard as a crane. I could use a M543 multifuel wrecker and be happy. I have towed vehicles up to 60,000# with my M816...
