Sweet Truck! Having built my own MV / RV I know just how much work went in to yours! I really like the idea with the ladder on the door.....does it have some assist to lift or is it light enough to just push up and latch? Soni

Good guess! It is a 10 ton M123a1 with a Hanson 5 ton hydraulic crane mounted on the back. I will take some pics and post them when i get a chance.... Soni

The problem is that if your state requires the vehicle to have a toilet and bed in order to be an RV, if you ever get pulled in to the scales or a DOT check, they will have your BUTT! The way the federal law reed is that on a privat, non commercial passenger car or motor vehicle, including...

Thanks guys....I'm painting it today....I will post pics of the result.... Soni

Ross, the 920 has a 3.5" diameter king-pin versus the standard 2'' most tractors and trailers use. I looked at that option when I got my 920 but was worried about the same thing. I opted for putting a 2" Holland top plate on the existing Holland oszilator carrage the 920 uses. That way you can...

Well....I am working on overhauling my M870a1 lowboy trailer. Since this trailer is very versatile and i use it all the time I wanted to make it even better. So besides fixing some broken or worn stuff I wanted some ramps on the back so high ground clearance vehicles could be loaded from the...

Hammer, you're right, probably two to three bags a tire! That stuff is pretty awsome though.....in my 920 tires at almost 80 Mph you can not feel the slightest vibration from the tires. Before I used the Equal I spent $30.00 a tire to get them balanced dynamicaly and they would still shake a...

Hammer, yeah I would have loved to keep the 16.00R20s, they looked awesome! After swaping back to the 46" tall tires it made the truck look sort of like a shopping cart for about a week, until I finally got used to the "barbie" wheels again.... LOL At the time I had not tried "Equal" yet and...

Hammer, as the crazy person that drives his M920A1 all over the country with al kinds of different trailers, I might give you some answers. As far as the ride goes the switch to super singles made a big difference. The rest was fixed with two Bostron air ride seats. I did install A/C and...

I got the Red Dot R-9727 rooftop unit off of ebay about eight years back. It is a real heavy duty unit for construction and mining service. It has an all metal housing and a piggyback mounted freshair intake filter so it keeps the cab slightly pressurized. This helps to keep the dust out on dirt...

Thanks gimpyrobb! I wish I would have time on this trip to take the detour and meet you. Maybe next time...... Soni

SW and Chris, thanks for the heads-up on Wright Pat. I talked to Andrew and made my appointment with him. He seems easy to deal with (unlike GL at Fort Carson CO) I will be picking my 1098 trailer up at 8am on Thursday. It would be nice to meet you guys if you can brake away. Here is my...

You need Armor! I saw that you are asking about Armored Vehicles in a different thread.....I assume that you needing armor now, is a direct result of your GF finding out about you asking other SS members for advice on this issue and she "made you" show her the answers......better get some...

Haul from Wright Patterson Hi swbradley1 I have a M1098 tank trailer that I have 2 pick up at Wright Patterson next week. I have never picked up from there, so how hard are the GL people to deal with at that base? Any tips? Thanks Soni

Sweet Van! Is this what they consider "Flower-Power-Camo"?

Here are sum pics of my favored "Mystery Jeep" I love taking it to an MV ralley or event because evrybody always tries to figure out what year or model it is....lol Enjoy.... Soni

Oh and one more thing to look out for: The Transfercase holds very little oil for it's size and you have to make sure it is to the fill level or you burn up the bearings. Also it has a little oil pump mounted on top, across from the input shaft that pumps oil to the top of the T-case. This...

Andy, yeah.....5th or 6th is as low as you want to go when you are empty or bobtailing. Once rolling the shifter will let you skip gears up to 10th gear....so if you start in 5th....it will let you go: 5th...7th...9th...11th...12th...13th...14th...15th...16th (which btw is overdrive) If you...

Hi Andy, Congrats on your new M920 truck! As you know....it has the CAT 7155 "slap-shift" transmission in it and it is actually quite diffrent to drive than any other tranny out there. When I first got mine, I thought that it was like a manual valve body equiped automatic..... Well, that...

I might be able to help. I got to run down to San Antonio empty in a week to a week and a half. I live about 300 miles south of Black Hawk so i would have to run up there and back but i could do that and deliver it to San Antonio for about $1400.00 I'm not for hire so I'm just charging you for...
