RE: Re: RE: Size difference betweem 1100 20 and 900 20 NDCC Sounds good to me!

What rims are you using now? If they work for 14.00s they should work for 395s.

I think a mulifuel could work as long as you kept the towed load under 30,000#, didn't expect many hills, and didn't plan on going anywhere fast.

There have been several M872s coming out of Fort Riley. They are usually stripped of all accessories. Has anyone ever seen any with side boards like these?

I believe max height allowed without permits is 13'6". With most 2.5 & 5 tons in the 9-10' range, you would close with a 40" deck height.

Nice looking setup you have there. The M108 doesn't look too high. What is the total height? 13-14'?

Yeah, go for it! Got any pics of the PLS setup you found? Did you end up buying it? Is it part of the poor mans HEMTT?

Yeah, that truck does get around. Kansas City was quite the trip. It convinced me I needed a bigger truck & trailer. :lol:

I need (want) a good trailer to haul around a couple of MVs. I haven't found any military trailer that is well suited for the application, but commercial ones are always so expensive. I saw this one on ebay recently and got outbid. I think it is perfect setup for hauling just about anything...

Once you upgrade to 11.00s, you will never want to go back. 9.00s start to look small after a while......

I was going through some old pictures and I found this one taken at a rest area along the interstate. It is good shot that gives some perspective. Compare the M812 to the 4 door, 1 ton 4x4 dually behind it or the semi truck in the pic. The bed on a bridge truck is about 6 feet in the air...

Keep up the good work. Your finished product is going to be awesome. Not many members in the HEMTT club afterall.

RE: Re: RE: jumpstart I heard you can get $9 per core now. You might be tripping over a gold mine!

I-35

Anyone need a wrecker? I found this M543A2 for sale in Northern Oklahoma. Pros: Starts right up Towbar, wiffle tree, field spades (2 sets), oxy & acy bottles included Cons: Multifuel, not cummins Clutch needs some work, front winch lead needs replaced (included) $9000

Can you post pics of the water distributor?

RE: Re: 2.5T, 5T, what do I need? BTW, ditto on the trailer idea. Assuming you want something to haul your "offroad jeep" down the road, a military truck might not be your best option. Why not just a pickup and car trailer?

If you want a cummins, then you will be looking for an M809 series 5 ton. The XLWB model is M814. If you single the tires, you should go 14R20 not 14.5R20. The M814 is not a real common model so you might have to look hard to get a good one. If you can settle for a mutlifuel with less...

I do believe there are different towing procedures (according to the -10) depending on whether you have a sprag or air-shift transfer.
