    CB Antenna kits?

    Were CB's ever used by the military? Stupid question?

    Okay, should be able to load it then, may even be able to bring to VA. PM me with load-out details, perhaps we can trade some tires for the hauling. :-)

    Trip to Wayne Harris, GA

    Can you mount them on site? I have thousands of miles on the tires now on the deuce and trust them even with the extensive wear. Any replacement will have to be fresh and without any signs of aging. Would be good to know the date code. Thanks for the offer, may be the ticket.

    m135/m211 with crane

    From a Canadian dealer advertising in a past issue of MVM (at least 5 years ago). When I called, there was no answer. Looks like the tires may be singled out. Check the front wheel.

    Stark FL

    The best I could do would be to haul it to Wayne's place in GA, since I'm already pulling Bruce's laundry trailer from there. Stark, FL would mean about 300 extra miles. Do you know if it's trailerable? Tires good etc?

    Trip to Wayne Harris, GA

    Well, the tire auction is ending as we speak and a bit too rich for my taste, so I'm going with "plan B", 4 ea new 1100-20 NDCC's and siping. Anybody know a good deal on those tires between Western VA and Florida?

    How large of tires will fit

    Lots of questions: Who wrote the piece? Is there an actual test report? Weather conditions? What were the positives? Why tubeless? Why -2 multi? Were the trucks tested beyond the mil-spec requirements? How many regular M35's were used alongside as reference vehicles? What size tire? How do the...

    Mounted a Tire yesterday

    That's great! Do 4 or 5 tires and the tool is paid for. Wrap a chain around the tire when you air it up at first, I can see that ring go off sideways.

    Trip to Wayne Harris, GA

    I'm getting the deuce ready for the trip and will be in GA/FL on Monday or Tuesday. I will meet you at JAX NAS if you need a lift, tires or no tires and can adjust the schedule to suit you.

    How large of tires will fit

    The adapter ratio for 900-20 tires is 0.187:1 and for 1100-20 it's 0.200:1. With those numbers you can figure out the ratio for any tire diameter.

    Brackets and chocks

    Yes, I have them (Image #1). Images #2 and #3 below show your M756 bed when I first saw it while at Kenny's before he got it home last year.
