    1st post from Franklin, TN

    Welcome to the site from Dayton, Ohio. Isn't Franklin, TN the home of Darrell Waltrip? I have heard him tell great stories about his early encounters with law enforcement there.

    M1009 roll bar fabrication

    S&W Racecars makes them. Roll bar, cage, and "family cage" kits available. When I first bought mine, they did not offer the family option, just the bars that went straight down to the floor. Couldn't be used to support a bikini top, and the rear seat had to be left out. I was looking to modify...

    Possibility of using the winch hydraulics to run bed hoist.

    This could be done. Yes, the psi and the gpm are all within the parameters required for a hoist. However, a larger capacity hydraulic tank would have to be added. With a winch or spreader, the fluid constantly returns to the pump and stays in the closed loop of the system. With a hoist (esp...

    Installing front receiver hitch for Surf Fishing

    Perhaps you could have a bracket made which would attach the cargo carrier to the shackle mounts. It would definitely be far stronger than using a receiver tube.

    TornagdGT's M931A2 "Miss Ava Lynn" Mods and Repairs

    That truck sure looks good. Conversions of 939 tractors are getting very popular. I like them short and sweet. Excellent job! If you are wanting to get rid of the take-off tool box, shoot me a pm. Thanks.

    Air Actuated Brake Controller

    939 series trucks do have full air brakes. The air actuated brake controller facilitates the use of a trailer with electric brakes.

    I finally had a chance to cut the locks of my tool boxes, and......

    Sounds like a flashback to Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone's vault. There wasn't anything there either. When I got my 932 from Wright Patterson, there was nothing in either of the boxes, not even a lock.

    Forklift assistance

    WM- I am not sure, but try this- M483. Clark GPX 25E. TM's 10-3930-671-10 10-3930-671-24 Doesn't look like all-terrain, but all I could find under Clark.

    Show your 5 tons in the snow.

    Artisan- It appears that you are you using magnets to secure the winter cover. If so, does it stay in place? I recently installed a winter cover on my 932 and didn't really likee drilling the 50+ holes, but it seemed like there were few options. I also don't particularly like the cheesy way the...

    It will be great to see it up and running. If nothing else, just to prove you can stuff a bear inside a duck and drive it around!

    Quick question on intake removal

    Soaking with Kroil is good. Using a 50/50 mix of acetone/automatic transmission fluid is far better. Try it, you'll like it!!!

    Found this little guy out in the woods behind my house, 1943 M3A4!!!

    Eyes on the ground are usually better than eyes in the seat. Nice save!!! Looks like it would make a good "Deuce" hauler.

    TM Operation Manual question

    I would not consider 20 to 30 minutes or even an hour to be considered extended. Now overnight, that may be a different story.

    amber headlights

    It wasn't only the gun trucks that had yellow markings. I read that different units had every vehicle "marked" for easier identification. There are threads out there. Some of the amber headlights were clear to begin with, then fitted with amber film or even painted.
