    Where to find a M923?

    Other options - an m931/M932 truck tractor variant with a cut down cargo bed. The shorter wheelbase adds a lot of maneuverability, similar to a bobbed truck, except you get to keep the 6x6 functionality.

    6x6 axle question

    Question for you - if tilting the rear axle upward is an obvious improvement in the design , why would the engineers not design it that way in the first place? Sometimes it's easy to see why things are made the way they were - optimizing one aspect at the expense of another, or blatant cost...

    6x6 axle question

    Obviously he thinks so, or why else would he foot the bill for the repairs? GP is a crapshoot, absolutely. They consider these trucks as scrap metal and will treat them accordingly rigjt upto the day you pick it up. But they won't misrepresent it, and they won't implement ill conceived and...

    Where to find a M923?

    The lockers are Detroit lockers, always on. Some marine trucks, but not all marine trucks have them. Marine trucks tend to be really really rough. If the locker is a must-have, you may consider pulling it out of a marine truck and putting it into a more pristine example...

    6x6 axle question

    Predicting this outcome was like predicting the sun coming up. And yeah, kudos to the seller. Very few modifications are a clear improvement. Most of tje "good" modifications are just a matter of selecting a different set of compromises than the engineers did originally (sacrificing longevity...

    Need Advice

    The full airbrakes of the 939series 5ton trucks combined with the lower acquisition cost makes them the clear choice in today's market. Deuces are bringing premium prices due to the supply dwindling and the multifuel niche market. If you go with a deuce, get a later truck with the dual...

    Overturned HMMWV in NJ, stay safe folks

    Every aspect of design is a compromise. Your proposed change would make the hmmwv a safer interstate passenger vehicle, at the cost of ruining the approach angle and making it less capable in rough terrain.
