    Bought an M123A1C today

    Click link. Start reading. You will find it is a super-truck...but has some quirks mainly around the transmission. They get into a lot of description and usage details and extreme overloads. It's a great read! VanNatta Big Trucks - The big 6x6 Mack M123A1C

    Identify this truck---M35 Variant?

    It was able to drag trailer through more crap because of the front drive axle...THAT is probably what it was. Shame it's not closer...pull that out with the Mog. :mrgreen:

    Interest 2.5 ton to 5 ton wheel adapters

    How are those last adapters staying centered? Deuce wheels are lug centric so you would think the adapter should be too. I know that the hub should be dead on but if it is off and you're centering it, you're adapter will be off since it is thru-bolted on. Or are they pressed studs and the...

    powerstroke in a Deuce

    Would it fit? Heck yes. Cripes...the 1160/3208 CAT I have in my crane truck is bigger than the 7.3 like a Big Block Chevy compared to a Small Block Chevy. AND you'll have PLENTY of room to move the radiator back and slap in an intercooler if you would like too. That's a super huge bonus of...

    Bobber 20K PTO Rear Winch

    With the roller fairlead on the big winch, why not keep the rear crossmember and pintle hook? The two angled braces for the rear cross member just about mimic the angle of the sides of the fairleads. I actually have a 20K Garwood under the rear of my crane truck just not powered. Mounting...

    I've been running a 24 volt one wire dealie for about 6 years now. Was about $200 but it's new and should out last a lot of other stuff.

    No title HMMWV

    I'd put PA against AZ. :) Heck, even NY is easier than PA. I'd look into it anyway. If the VIN comes back okay then it's just the hassle of paperwork. Big deal...you'll get through it and have a cool ride at the end. Scrap: funny post!

    Side exit exhaust

    I've had dual stacks on mine for 6 or 7 years now...but I have a dual row of pistons so I just HAD to. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

    FNG from Long Island

    Good luck. Town councils in LI can be a bit quirky. Definately helps to know someone...and do yourself a favor and try to NOT have to tag it as a commercial truck. That may help with parking...

    Chambersburg directions

    81S to Scottland exit. Turn right off the ramp. Follow that to an intersection with a gas station on your right...should be at RT 11. Cross that and the next light will put you across from the gate. Once on the base, procede straight, cross railroad track and up a hill to a stop light. Turn...

    Fall 2011 Rausch Creek MV Rally

    There should be no body damage if you can drive...at all. Matt took his giant 5 ton tractor through the woods last time as trail leader and deuces followed. You CUCV guys shouldn't worry as they'll be a big enough path. :mrgreen:

    Deuce road tractor conversion

    If anyone wants to replicate this build, I'm considering parting with the spare tire rack, 5th wheel plate and trailer ramps off the back of my M932A2 tractor as one package deal as seen in an ealier post.
