    M998 from Yermo CA to Sierra Vista AZ

    I think I sent you a PM, if not, send me one. I'm on my phone and this mobile site isn't the smoothest......

    M998 from Yermo CA to Sierra Vista AZ

    Finally got EUC approval on my 998 up in Yermo. Just wondering if anyone knows who offers the best prices around or if someone happens to be making a trip along that route or close and wants to make some extra $. Veritread has a company willing to do it for $729, so it'll have to be less than...

    Singling out stock wheel advice please

    Good to know and thanks for the heads up. Hub flipping was definitely the best and easiest way to go overall, especially not having a mill to modify the adapters. But if I ever wanted to go even wider tracked, dish out plus hubs flip sounds cool ;-)

    5 ton Pintle to 2" hitch conversion?

    Agreed on the ride height issue. If can get a hitch receiver onto it, I'll definitely put an adjustable drop hitch on it. And thanks for the info on the bolt placement and size 👍

    Pickup and temporarily hold a 923 from Fort Hood TX

    I recently bought a M923 5 ton from Fort Hood, TX. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I can't make it there to pick it up before they start charging me ridiculous fees. Just need someone local to pick it up and hold it for me, no more than 2 weeks. Please let me know if you can help and how much...

    Medium tow bar pin size?

    I've searched and searched and can't seem to find what size the pins in the actual leg are on a standard Medium tow bar. I know about the 3/4" VS 1" feet ends where it hooks onto the truck in tow, but what size pin are in the end of the leg where it accepts the feet? Thanks in advance

    5 ton Pintle to 2" hitch conversion?

    I have an 88 M923 to go pick up. My plan is to drive there in my car with a little tow dolly in tow, then tow my car back. Obviously the issue is the pintle hitch on the truck VS the 2" ball on the tow dolly. How do y'all suggest adapting the truck to tow the trailer? Are there any standard 2"...

    M35a2 Hub Flip Tips and Lessons Learned

    No real need to bend 2 tabs other than to be extra sure it's not going anywhere. 2 were bent when I pulled it open, so I bent 2 again. Good point on the oil degrading the grease. I never really thought about it in that order, just the grease seeping into the axle once it's hot and oily on its own.

    M35a2 Hub Flip Tips and Lessons Learned

    Luckily, the years of seapage around the hubs kept the studs pretty oily, so driving them out wasn't bad at all, especially with that old wheel face as an anvil and with a 24oz hammer. Driving them back in was a breeze. Using that wheel face you can just drive them right on through.

    Singling out stock wheel advice please

    UPDATE: You can't run the rims dish out. At least not with the aluminum MRAP wheels I have. You could MAYBE get away with it if you have the 50/50 offset style or some of the steel models with long outturned valve stems, but with the standard offset aluminum MRAP wheels with the short valves...

    M35a2 Hub Flip Tips and Lessons Learned

    I got the first 2 of my hubs flipped on the Deuce today and thought I'd throw together some quick pointers and lessons learned in the process: 1. This is NOT "only a 4 hour job" like I've heard repeatedly. I'm a very competent mechanic with quite an array of tools and it's taking me about 2-2.5...

    HORRIBLE Tire Vender -Alphatread Tucson AZ

    Hahaha! Go for it! Unfortunately, I've got wayyy too much to lose with my government job these days, so my options were limited. Had I been 10 years younger..... felonies may have been committed ;-)

    HORRIBLE Tire Vender -Alphatread Tucson AZ

    Yep. PLEASE save yourself the hassle and deal with someone reputable. Besides that, their prices aren't even that great! Their gotcha prices listed seem good, then you realize that for their "70%" tires. 80+90% go up SUBSTANTIALLY. But good luck even getting them to give you the right tread...

    HORRIBLE Tire Vender -Alphatread Tucson AZ

    You're telling me! I was beyond pissed and in shock this place is in business! Then to find this bad tire later on just refueled the rage. It's 3 hour round trip there and back! Of the 6 tires I bought, only 2 were even close to the "80% tread" they sold me, but the price was good enough I was...

    HORRIBLE Tire Vender -Alphatread Tucson AZ

    First, these guys have their own website, Alphatreadtires.com. but they also do business on eBay under the name trlrcy. They're located in Tucson. They started by giving me a fair price on some 80% tread 395 Michelins. Upon arrival, they gave me a decent price on some steel Mrap wheels they had...
