Hello everyone. My name is Rusty and I'm happy to say I just entered the 6x6 world. After looking for around 3 years I finally pulled the trigger and picked up a 2003 Buffalo truck. It is in excellent condition needing nothing but regular maintenance. I'm very interested in getting it ready for winter with a plow, cab, and some sort of heater. I am very interested in some of the posts I've read about a blower pulling heat from the engine. Has anyone ever tried a heat exchanger on the exhaust? I have always been interested in the unusual and in my parts the buffalo definitely draws a crowd.

Hi RFULLON and welcome to the forum. As to your question about pulling heat from the exhaust: be careful! Having worked on airplanes, I sort of know about this process. You have to constantly inspect the exhaust for tightness and make sure that there are no leaks. Carbon monoxide is not to be taken lightly. Even drawing just heat from the engine compartment is a concern as fuel, oil, and other fumes abound. Enjoy your new friend. Also think about updating your profile to include your location. Again, welcome.

Looks like it is going to be a lot of work but I love tinkering. been reading a lot of treads there is a lot of very good info on here and years of experience and knowledge. Looking forward to picking your brains and keeping you up to date on my progress.

New to the group. Looking for installation instructions for installing a max iv rollbar and also the seatbelts. Have a kit with no installation instructions. Thanks

Hi 1bighouse, welcome to the group. I don't recall seeing instructions for the rollbar and seatbelts anywhere. I haven't gone back to check the Max manuals section though. You may want to start there if you haven't already. You can get to the manuals section via the link at the very bottom of every page. If that doesn't help, you can always check out some of the photos on the forum. Here are a couple from my Max IV roll cage:



For the seatbelts, on mine, they were installed through the lower tub with large fender washers on each side. I removed them when I modified my Max and I filled in the holes with more plastic but you can still see the remnants of one of the holes in this photo. If you look at the three rivets on the left that hold the brown body to the black tub, find the middle rivet and look below and slightly to the right on the black tub and you can see the hole:

Howdy all!

I am Sid and I have been lurking a while.
Not many 6x6 or 8x8 machines here in Arkansas, but i plan on getting a used one and fixin it up. I totally want TRACKS.
The Max Buffalo has me intrigued. I am an aircraft inspector/mechanic by trade. Look forward to some day meeting you at
some trail some day.

Howdy Da Duke, welcome to the forum.

Hi all, owner of a mid/early eighties Argo 8x8 with Kohler KT17 engine. Bought as a project, currently awaiting a replacement carb and coil/leads to see how she runs.
Any advice on engines that could easily replace the KT17 should it be a scrapper greatfully received.
