If that's the case, there's no way you're going to be satisfied with the 6.5.

The thing about MIG welding is that with some practice you can get nice pretty welds that look great. Getting welds that penetrate is a bit harder. Especially with 120V machines. And the only way to know if your welds are penetrating is to have them destructively tested, until you *know*...

With military issue towbars being cheap and plentiful, I would be extremely reluctant to fab one just from the standpoint of liability if things go sideways. When I do fab something that will be used on the road, I try to make sure that the part I fab won't be the first thing that breaks if...

I speculate, and that's all it is, that it runs a risk of gumming things up.

Howes diesel treatment. Most bar oil I've seen has additives to promote adhesion and prevent it from slinging off. It woukd not be my first choice.

Originally a dual axle tractor.

The thing about the wreckers is they're already heavy and slow. The truck tractors are the most nimble and maneuverable and woukd be my first choice for towing a heavy trailer.

These are the same in all the HMMWV variants? Thanks

4x8' sheet of 3/8" steel plate is 500lbs or so. You've said you want to armor substantially more than double this amount of surface area. Therefore the 1000lb limit is incompatible with the use of 3/8" AR500. Ballistic glass is UV sensitive and not only becomes opaque, but also loses its...

Charge them 1 at a time with a 12v charger for best results. That said, I've used a pulse tech charger through the slave port at 24v.

Not so much rare as real-world usable.

If that were my truck, I'd put 395's on LMTV rims on it and leave it 6x6. Put a good paint job on it and call it done. If you're not planning to use it loaded, 16.00s on hemtt rims are the choice, but they take quite a bit away from the bottom end. I'd not consider bobbing a dump truck. If...

16.00s on HEMTT rims. I second the horror at cutting up a dump truck.
