    Hi guys. New 1970 M35A2 owner... need guidance.

    You can run MRAP rims and tires without modification to the truck. As mentioned, all you need are adapter plates. The MRAP tires (395/85R20) fit without modification to the dogbones...m

    M105A2 from Fayetteville, NC to OKC

    First off, make sure your trailer is really in Fayetteville and not at Camp Lejeune. GP has been listing them at the wrong site... I bought 3 listed as Fayetteville, but one of them was actually at Lejeune which only does loadouts on Thursdays. Of course I find this out after I drove there from...

    M923a2 Tucson to Payson

    No docks available. GP Tammy is good people to work with. I suggest a chase vehicle and a 2nd person. A 2nd pair of hands to help, and a vehicle capable of fetching parts. A chase vehicle that can read your mind and do things like open lane space for you as you go through phoenix will be a big...

    Driving a M925A2 Back From Auction

    I suggest you figure proximity as AT LEAST $1 per mile, meaning an identical truck 1000miles closer is worth $1000 more....

    Driving a M925A2 Back From Auction

    The longest one I've done was an M931A2 from Indianapolis to Phoenix by way of Columbus OH, Waco Tx, and Ft Campbell Ky. I had over 4000miles in the trip. It was a fresh rebuild. The charging system failed and I charged batteries every night in the hotel rooms. I've done bunches of 1500 mile...

    Combat wheels, FMTV wheels, HEMTT wheels

    Ke5eua went through this with his 818. The short version is that MRAP rims won't work. I've used 16s with 5ton combat rims on 939trucks, and hemtt rims with 16's on an 818 and 939 series trucks. The 16s rubbed left front with 5ton combat rims on an M923. No issues with hemtt rims. My...

    MK48 wheels

    It would have vastly simplified logistics to have the hemtt platform and the LVS use the same wheels and tires. The fact that they are intentionally incompatible speaks volumes... performance levels must be far enough apart that using one for the other would be disastrous.

    Fayetteville Late fees?

    How vigorous is the GP site in Fayetteville abut collecting late fees? Thanks

    Find myself in an interesting quandary.... (re: XM818 )

    This auction looked to be from a private individual. It's "premodded". Looks like someone pulled the 5th wheel and put an m109 box on it. My suspicion is there was a problem with the 6x6 so they called it 6x4.

    Hi from another new guy with M931A1

    I used to live in Grizzly Flat.... Your truck should have ABS. Got an ABS light present on the dash?

    Another M931A2 with a 923 Bed

    2 people, 2 days, with a forklift to move things around and the 5th wheel already removed. I really like the truck tractors with short beds. ..
