It is worth having a set just for this trip, even if you sell them afterwards. It could be the difference between a tow bill in the thousands, and a buddy coming and hooking up. I have a trip to AZ prior to Feb. I'll work on finding you a set of medium towbars. All I have at the present time...

His engine is designed for JP8. It is the optimum fuel for it.

Do you own a towbar?

My opinion - the polarization of the culture war is only going to get more pronounced. Those places that are left leaning are going to go much harder left. Those places that aren't left, are become even less restrictive and less intrusive. CO has chosen sides, dragged over to the left by...

I should be in Midland TX at that time. I'll have basic tools and a 1ton truck.

This is the strainer - Comes loose where I'm pointing in pic 2. Pic 3 shows strainer omitted.

A tire shop unable to differentiate a 2piece modern combat rim from the widowmakers of decades ago is a tire shop extremely unlikely to have the equipment to deal with a 16.00 and a one piece rim. The problem isn't the wheel, it's the tire shop. Solution is to find one willing and able. As...

Two large strap wrenches. On to stabilize the strainer ("basket") and the other to remove the cap. This is most easily done off the truck. The strainer can be omitted afterwards if desired. Removing the strainer as a unit with the cap should not pose any additional risk of contamination, but...

It's worth checking with @fuzzytoaster as he may have something that woukd be a better starting point for a bobber project.

I think you want 6 hemtt rims. I have 2 hemtt rims in KS. One has a decent 16.00 XZL, and the other has a shredded AT3. @silverstate55 has hemtt rims in UT. I'll send you a PM.

It's a late airforce truck with the dual circuit brakes and dropside bed. The previous owner added the super singles and MRAP rims in 2017 iirc, and we painted it then. I acquired it last spring and drove it from NM to KS. Currently it's hiding from yucky roads, happily sitting on a 24v...

I have this one sort of for sale, but I'd hate to see it cut up.

1)If you're swapping engines at some point anyway, why pay a heavy premium for an A2 with the 8.3? 2) 809series trucks are substantially less expensive than 939series. I've owned both. My preference is for the 939series due to the full airbrakes. 3) RRAD rebuilds are the least desirable of...

Like you, I suspect it's just due to cold ambient temps and lots of airflow.

Everything simp said x2. I towed a loaded semi trailer from Freeport IL to Mountainair NM no problem. Like Wes, I've had both. Strong preference for the AT3.

That is not how I understand it.

And I have a whole pallet of them for sale. Please buy from me instead of ebay....

Do we not have anyone on steel soldiers selling slave cable ends? I'm sure we do....

I did the same kind of acrobatics getting it off with the forks on the tractor. Except I didn't have an extra pair of hands. I was terrified I was going to drop it and damage it the whole time. I've put them on by hand in the past with two people. My wrecker is now wearing a soft top, torn...
