I "think" the front is a D60, but the tires make it look small. I hope its a D60 anyway...

Most of my trips are in the Cascade mountain range in southern Washington State. I do almost all of my wheeling trips in the winter so snow is all this truck really sees. In fact it has developed over the years into quite a capable mountain rig. The snow here in the Cascades has a tendency to get very deep as the season progresses. It is not unusual to "float" on top of 5 to 6 feet of snow on forest roads at or above 4000 feet. The roads tend to be wide and are bordered by 100 foot tall fir trees. On a clear day from the top of the mountains you can see for miles, viewing other distant peaks as you plan ahead for next weeks outing into the unknown. However, those are definitely not my favorite days; I love a good old fashion blizzard. Wind howling down the peaks with impressive force and then gusting even stronger. Snow falling at a rate of 6" an hour that covers your tracks so fast that the rigs behind me have to ca ll up on the CB to see which way I went at the crossroads because my tracks have already filled with new snow. It's really the challenge that drives me; not knowing if I'll be sleeping in my soft bed at home or in the not so soft sleeping bag in the back of the Suburban. This rig is equipped to handle the roughest terrain the Cascades can dish out, and gets used hard each snow season.

Here is my new baby. 6" Skyjacker Suspension and 35's.

What tires are those?

They look like goodyear wranglers

they are the 36" military OZ wranglers (found on hummers, and the chevy 1 ton cucv's)...

37" Found on Hummvees only. Not on the CUCV's. Sorry.

This is a military hummer. I know what you are saying you can also get a 37" hummer tire

36" (what I have on my truck)

these are the 37's you are speaking of. A little less agressive, but a bigger tire.

I happened to be in the military, and rode in hummers with both different sets of tires. Maybe next time I am on base I will stop and take pictures of dozens of them with both different applications on them.

HOWEVER, you may be right about the CUCV's. they may have just been put on in different units (may not have came with them).

Lots of units have swapped the hummer tires onto CUCV's. One good way to get around the 4.56 gears.

Here is my 84 SB

Heres my hot rod ,not much to look at but still the square bodystyle.

This may be the wrong spot but I want to find a stock 4x4 dually to build into a offroad wrecker to save guys that get stuck in mud holes.:lol: I know some of you never get stuck but I have too many kids around here that honestly have no idea what they are doing. I would like to find one close to Louisiana and having a 4 speed manual would be great. Motor does not matter. Dead or alive, I just want to find one.
Thanks
Brad

I found these one on the web today!! I want one, with tall skinny tires, with a lift and hub-caps!!

Thanks I like that wrecker but I want to find something a little closer to Louisiana. I honestly do not even need a lift or big tires just 4x4 and duals. I have a bed to just on it. All I need is a chassis.
Thanks
Brad
