Re: ID Lockers The axle spacing is definitely greater (at least on the M812/M821/M945). It is 56" versus the normal 54" spacing on 5 tons. Check your data plates or manuals to see. The spring pack is different as it has more leafs (3 more I believe). Torque rods are also different. In the...

I posted some info on adapters here... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=3224&highlight=adapters

Damn, those are shiny. They look great. I've never done a hub flip on the 5 ton, but the track should be the same front and rear.

Singles are the best offroad. The Army now runs singles on all (virtually) tactical vehicles. Tire design matters too. If you are still running NDCC, ditch those and get some Michelins XL or XZL.

Re: RE: What I don't know what you are referring to here. On the rims I have, the oring lies in a groove and is compressed when the bolts are tightened. What do you mean "ease the outer rim edge over it?"

RE: What Here is what I do, the manual may provide better insight. Insert beadlock. Make sure the rim is clear of debris and smooth. Make sure tire bead is smooth and clean and use a little tire bead goo. Set rim on a small block to eleveate from the ground a few inches. Lay tire over base...

Hey luapmonn, thank you! Those are the ones. I think $6000 is very reasonable. Rmgill you think too much or too little?

Anybody know about early 80s White cabovers used by the military for carrying 20' ISO containers and command centers? I remember seeing 2 or 3 up on GL recently (Alabama?). Anyone have a link or pictures to that?

Re: RE: 8x8 for Ron l Hey Jones- Who's got the PLS? I need someone to troubleshoot with.

With a bridge truck, I would consider 1600s only because the axle spacing is 56". There could be issues up front though.

Steve, got any pics of the bridge truck with 15.5s?

Elwenil- That's looks super cool. What are the tires, Michelin XL?

Outstanding, I love it (and the trailer too)! What is the market price on those wreckers now?

RE: 11.00 20 Yep, that is ideal. They can *fit* on a stock rim, but I wouldn't recommend it.

RE: 11.00 20 395mm or 15.5" (at the sidewall)

RE: Bridge Trucks Hey H20, can you post or send me a picture of your truck? I'd like to see it.

RE: 11.00 20 I think 1600s are too big for a deuce. I prefer the 395s. Neither one should be used with a stock rim, although it is possible to mount them. You could run dual 1100s on stock rims. I don't think I have seen that done on a bobbed deuce. I have seen dual 900s.

Yes, unless you plan to run down the highway all the time. 4.56 gearing in the M1008.

Here are some tables that have helped me keep things straight.

RE: Tanker That sounds like a cool truck. Can you post some pictures of that water truck (or have you already)?
