I was on my way up to Line Mountain race track, and as usual my route takes me through Millersburg. My list is long, but my cash is short, so I decided on some 383 green paint because shipping that stuff is always a deal breaker. Well Saturn dosent sell paint no more...... now I know. But...
I saw this remnant of a truck a couple months ago, and finally remembered the camera. Its huge! Dirt71's truck has 1400-24 tires. This thing has 1800-29 tires. Looks to be the back half only. The Garwood winch is just sitting there.
Its time for new tires on the M1008. It currently has the stock tires and wheels the truck came with from GL , Cooper 235/85R16 load range E. They looked good when I got the truck ,but they wore out fast on the front.
I would like to go a little wider, not taller, since taller tires rob...

I was on my way home from the Maple Grove swap meet with a pocket full of money on Saturday. Sold a bunch of truck parts. We were gonna go by a junk yard that I have been in many times and we decided to stop in. They never have military stuff, just civi. Whell....never say never.
Finally after years of looking and bidding and surfing and driving all over the tristate area to look at trucks ....i won a M1008 from GL.[thumbzup]
Its a 1984 M1008 with 89k on the clock. Looked like it was running from the Bordentown NJ pics. It had mud flung all over it in the GL pictures ...
FYI

I bought a OTC 2 9/16 8 POINT spindle nut socket from NAPA for $25.12
OTC part number 1905. It is 3/4 drive. Made in good ol USA.
A 6 point 2 9/16 socket will not work. Don't ask me how i know this:oops:.
I was headed up to the Line Mountain Race track last week for some off road racin, and since i go right thru Millersburg, i had to stop at colemans for some shopping. The girls shop at the mall....I shop at the junkyard. I was looking for another tool box for my M116 generator trailer and some...

I wanted to publicly say thanks to Lance Robson for his help with my MEP-002A genset. He picked it up in Ft. Drum and brought it to his house in a ice storm. Lance then called me and said "Don't send me any money till i check it out and get it running." At that point he's my intrest free bank...

I had to do a transmission install at a friends house this past weekend, and as i was going there it dawned on me that my route was going to take me past a very old junk yard. This junkyard is very old. Started in 1955. And they never scraped in all these years. There are fields and fields of...
