Well I told ya so doesnt work for me. I heard that the 2.5 ton rockwells are weak when running bigger tires, but this is crazy. I was at a jeep run "tierra del sol", and while crawling the notches (a gathering place for idiots) i managed to break either spider gears or a axle shaft on the middle...
I am just waiting on a shipment of 1" bolts. Then I will be putting on my new rims and tires.
So I articulated the rear suspension today, checking how far from the bed the tires get.
With stock 9.00 ndt tires, I have about 1 1/2 inches of clearance before the tire rubs the bottom of the bed. So...
Anyone planning on goin to Azusa canyon this weekend for the corva event? I was thinkin about driving my deuce there Sunday. I have never been there yet.
I'm going this weekend to check out a m105a2.
As of now I do not know what the contents are in the trailer. The owner sent me pictures of what appears to be some sort of generator, pump or compressor. The owner does not know what it is, but claims it is military. Here are some pics, I'm very...
I didn't want to post this but after searching and asking people and not getting a for sure answer....
Does anyone know if the 818 rear leaf springs are different from the rear spring packs on a m813 cargo?
I have a m818 with a shortened deuce bed and still on 11.00 stock tires. The truck has a...
Just thought I'd share my trip to rasor rd for veterans weekend. Pretty Easy 150 miles each way. I did have my j pipe snap off of the muffler and the exhaust stack fell over onto the hood. Darn California potholes! I only snapped a couple pics because it was very windy.
The temp got down to...
I know mv's are getting more popular in california. Lets see some input on you california guys. Is there a growing demand for mv's in ca? Would there be any market in a so cal mv scrap yard open to the public? From what im seeing, we are pretty limited for scrap parts.
I pulled my truck in to the shop today to start working on the airpack rebuild, and check/ adjust all the brakes. I pulled the front tires off the truck, the pass front brakes are dragging so much, i can hardly spin with the wheel on the truck. Now i read up on the tm for adj. the brakes, and...
Hopefully theres not a 5 ton thread like this already. I tried search, and did not find anything. I just changed my 1st flat on one of the rear inner duals, on my 818. What a workout! Now back to rebuilding the airpack!
Gonna be spending new years out in the desert camping. Leaving menifee this afternoon, hopefully arriving in ocotillo ca before midnite. Lots of excited friends and family waiting to ride in the 818! Pics to come.
On the 818 there is a control lever on the right side of the steering column. Couldnt find any description in the tm. Seems like a trailer brake actuator? :confused:
