Glad you made it back safe! I have heard many times that double towing short trailers is a no-no. Longer ones seem to work a lot better. Did you have the option to stack them when you picked them up?

That is one of most idiotic comments I have seen on here in a long time. :cookoo:

15.5s or 395s can rub the underside of the bed on a deuce if you carry enough weight and flex it out enough. I know, I have done it. For most applications you should not have a problem.

To my knowledge the most common miltary use for the is the m1076 trailer. I believe the max speed for the pls is 56mph so I would feel really comfortable up to or about that speed. I think michelin rates them for about that speed too. Above that speed, I would rather be on radials than old...

They are only 46.6" tall, same as 395-85r20.

Many guys run 15.5s on their deuce, myself included. I just haven't driven it for extended distances at high speeds.

That is a tachograph, common on M818 and larger trucks too

Those firestones look great, but I would expect a difference of 5/8" - 1" as well. From the comparison pic, it does look like there is more visible space between the bumper and the axles. A tape measure would tell us for sure how much bigger the firestones are!

15.5R20 is the largest tire that will fit (of those that are found in reasonable quantities as surplus in the US)

I have never seen 14R20 on a stock deuce. 14.5R20 will work though.

319, sorry I missed you call.

I did this a few years back and posted pics and other relevant info. I expect a search would turn up some good results. If you can't fint it, let me know and I will look.

Bruce, your trucks are absolutely awesome! :drool:

14.00x20 is too big

Ooops, sorry about that. Yes, I have an extra lift axle. I'll send you a PM.

I'll give my input. 1. I think the 16 speed cat tranny is really cool. I would use it if you can. 2. The M919 chassis is rated for 75,000 GVW so it will handle the weight a lot better than a 5 ton. Would you use the 5 ton cab or the M919? 3. A low range transfer is not needed as the...

I think you could have had your choice for under $10K.

I would stay away from trying to get the Porsche in the duece. You will be better off with a trailer. There was some recent discussion on toy haulers. Check out this post: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/conversations/32129-question-about-m911.html#post344748

Wow, what a beautiful truck! There was a post in the last few days about this conversion. Search M931A1 for more details.

HEMTT wheels will work as well.
