All of the tank haulers are awesome, whether it be the M123, M911, M1070, etc. When I was picking some things up from GL, I was fortunate enough to see a fleet of new M1070s arriving on base. I talked with supervisor of the lot and the next thing you know, he is letting me drive a BRAND NEW...

Edit: Wheels and tires are sold.

Looking good! [thumbzup]

No rear winch on the M819. It has the 5th wheel plate instead. Unless of course you consider the crane hoist a winch. :? Full rotation available on the boom. See pics posted recently of fellow member installing front winch using the crane to lift it over the cab.

There are plenty of these rims available. All the former HEMTT rims were replaced with the newer and safer beadlock style. If Sermis runs out of these, let me know and I can get you hundreds.

Therer is a big difference between the M911 and commercial OTR tractors. The M911 is a larger truck, automatic, 6 wheel drive, and maxes out between 45-50 mph. GVWR is probably a lot higher too. Fuel milieage is dismal. Perfect for hauling tanks and large equipment off road, not so perfect...

I found a guy on craigslist that has 2 wreckers for sale. One is a M816 and one is a M819. Anybody on the west coast need one? http://slo.craigslist.org/car/371700911.html http://slo.craigslist.org/car/371695384.html

There was a good looking bridge truck pallet (flat bed) sitting on a trailer. Any idea on what he would want for that? Pic 100_3138 (Small).jpg

RE: Can someone explain the difference in these HEMTT grills That door on the front of the PLS is to access the hyudraulic pump. No airflow is required through the grill as the radiator is on top of the PLS, behind the cab. It has a hyrdaulic powered fan which brings the air in.

Great, story I love it. Even though you haven't provided the pics, I have a good mental picture of the ordeal, including you going back to fix the lawn!

Now that answer is a perfect example of knowledge sharing on the forum. Nice work Jeff.

Frank, if the truck is multifuel, it sounds like it could be a M543 or M246. The M246 tractor wrecker is a little more versatile than the M543 and is a lot more rare. The M246 is easy to distinguish because it will have a 5th wheel on the back and the M543 will have a winch on the back...

Welcome back!

Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting with some fellow Steelsoldiers members to swap goodies and stories. I have yet to meet a member of this site that I didn't like, although I'm not sure that goes both ways! This road trip posed two challenges: 1) Unload a 10,000# PLS type trailer and...

Partial complement of tools & equipment

Sweet looking HMMWV. Got any pics from the front?

Great, thanks. That is kind of answer I was looking for. I guess I will just have to buy the truck and put the lockers in myself. I have a couple lockers sitting on the shelf looking for a home!

I think I confused some and should have worded it differently. My apologies. Let's try two seperate, but related questions. Question 1: Do paper clips indicate a former USMC vehicle? Question 2: Do USMC M809 series 5 tons have lockers? If yes to both, deductive reasoning indicates vehicles...

Thanks, David. Your input is always appreciated.

RE: Another thing you can do with A/W crane mounted on a m81 Sweet pics! Thanks for sharing.
