    Are 16.5” rubbers really that bad?

    Basically someday i want 40’s on my humvee and I’m just pondering the correct path to get there. You provoked me to go read and learn. The conclusions I drew were that if I were going to change wheels, or use tires sourced from somewhere besides milsurp, I'd go with something besides 16.5"...

    Are 16.5” rubbers really that bad?

    My understanding is that all the x.5" sizes are heavier duty than their x.0" size counterparts.

    M105; Questions about my first recovery

    I've done it by myself, without tools. A far better option is a farm jack.

    M105 on a M1028, has anyone one done that?

    M105 bed weight is 800-1000lbs. I've seen the deuce bed on a pickup. It was at the Phoenix show a couple of years ago. If I remember correctly it was cut down to about 9'. Looked reasonably proportionate.

    M105 on a M1028, has anyone one done that?

    I literally just dragged this nice one from AZ to OK three days ago. I screamed it for sale for months and no takers. I would have happily made that trade.... I have four new in the crate 105 beds in OKC. Transport probably kills it.... I like the idea of the 105 bed on a pickup. As to the...

    WMO in CUCV

    And a lot of the abrasive grit in WMO is smaller than 2 micron. This leads me to conclude that filtration is insufficient and WMO would need to be centrifuged to be safely usable. Hardly seems worth the effort for small scale....

    Newly purchased an M35A2 - trailer/towbar? Houston Area

    This is NOT ok, except for emergency or just moving it around a field.

    Newly purchased an M35A2 - trailer/towbar? Houston Area

    Emphasis added - your pickup truck will pull it fine, but won't even begin to stop it. Put it on a gooseneck trailer with brakes and you'd be fine. Attempt to tow it with a towbar and what will happen when you hit the brakes is the ABS will activate, but almost no braking force will be applied...

    So just bought a M818

    I really like the tractor wheelbase with the short cargo bed. It makes more of a difference than you'd think it would. Closer in maneuverability to a one ton pickup than to a 5ton cargo variant.

    M35a2 Cab top

    I've seen them with a metal insert and hole cut. I have one of the inserts I'm going to use as a template for cutting a soft top to go with my LWS. Im in AZ and it's in KS. I have pics somewhere with a tape measure. I'll post them if I can find them.

    GL and SF97 issues

    I suspect that they blanketed every email they had with a form letter. That's what mine was - one size fits all "hey we plan to close our titling office". It doesn't surprise me not everyone got it.

    Pretty sure my air packs shot.......

    I had similar problems on an air pack on a truck I was selling recently. I went with new, mostly due to timeline. There shouldn't be a big difference.

    I'm confused on tire sizes.

    You can't mix 395s and 14.00's.
