Grand total of $8400 for the set of 6 tires. And the tire dealer would be laughing all the way to the bank that day.... We're Steel Soldiers. We buy things surplus, retail is for the OTHER guy.

Wow, another use for a S-250 that I didn't think of. That's just too cool! Well, hot, warm, whatever.

There will be a lot of wrench-turning to get that sucker looking good, but you know, it will be worth it in the end. Nothing beats having a tank full of cold water on a hot day, out in the field...

Absolutely not. Here is what it should look like, concept picture courtesy of some modeler guy on the internet.

He's not doing hungover correctly - he can still stand upright. Tell him add another 12 beers and try again. Great job on the recovery!

There is no metal plate on mine, might have been removed. Also, as far as the spare tire, it might be one of those things that the manual says is included, but in the real world isn't. Doesn't matter really, I don't have any spare wheels/tires to put on this anyways. Thanks for the info...

I got this comment a lot, but always it is a woman saying it. :D Just kidding.... Anyways, yeah, I know they are out there, I have a M200 manual on this end that mentions the super singles. This is just the only one I have seen get surplussed out, all the other genset trailers I have seen...

Picked this up from dm22630 last winter, had plans to put a genset on it, but I sold the genset by itself. Anyways, this is an M200A1, that has been singled out with 22.5" truck tires by the military, similar fashion as the newer M105A3 trailers have done with them. I haven't seen another M200...

Looks great! Now you can run the HMMWV tires on it without cutting holes in the fenders for steering clearance.

Worst case scenario, if you can't find a used fuel tank, drain the tank, let it air out REAL WELL for about a week in a dry, warm environment, and then do the metal repair yourself. If you are lucky enough to find a used tank, however, I'd recommend getting the tank cleaned and the inside...

Interesting. Looks like it's been in a fire, but that's just me. Upside is it will never rust! Good build....

I thought with the type of person you are you would've started the red tartan plaid convoy. :D

Might be coming with my deuce and a secondary truck, I am close to purchasing a M715 Kaiser in my area. It's fire engine red now, but I will sand and paint it green prior to the trip.

Tank trailers are everywhere - this one was turned into a water fountain at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

BTW - I will be going back the Monday before Aberdeen, May 17th. If anyone needs anything picked up there that I can bring to Aberdeen, or wants me to pull a couple parts from there, let me know ASAP.

And Ferroequinologist has been on the warehouse terrorist list ever since. :)

Hey Jones, any more updates on the baby HEMTT? I know you're nearing the end of the battle, we just are excited to see any updates on your ride....

Okay, some funny answers, but thanks for the pointers. Will NOT use wood stain as a fuel.

My dad was in Southeast Asia from 1963-1967, various places. Told me that the deuces over there early in the war were mostly gassers, the diesels came a little later. While I don't doubt him, he drove everything in SE Asia, from jeeps to 10-tons and heavy equipment as a combat engineer, the...

The local building thrift store has gallons of wood stain in various shades for 50 cents to $1 a gallon. I know wood stain and other wood prep products are flammable, I was wondering, besides the obvious staining of the fuel filters, is there anything against using wood stain as a fuel in the...
