    This site is like CRACK! So, I bought a 5 ton....

    Can't say I know what CRACK is all about but if ya sand off enough of that CARC paint stuff and snort it you will be really sorry you did it, I bet. :-) I wish I had an ISO bed and a place up the middle, from the rear, to store the side panels in when not in use. Balz Out but beware...

    M939 Air Condtioner

    The Red Dot R-9777 unit would be my first choice once your compressor situation is squared away. I believe it has a built in condenser and it is Heat and A/C. There is enough real estate on top of a hardtop, weight is an issue. That can be handled by a cantilevered mount off of some M66 gun...

    Artisan's M916

    If I eluded to it being expensive, excuse me, I felt it was $100 shy of what he should have charged. I didn't argue the point!

    Artisan's M916

    I have known for a while my front driveshaft needed service. You could feel the slightest of vibrations at freeway speeds and if you physically yanked on it you can feel/see just a wee bit of play. There was the smallest of play between the male and female telescoping splines. I found the...

    M939 Air tank help

    I think I can SuperSize that; What happened when you did your C.O.L.A.S. test before you drove it for the first time? :tank:

    I have joined the Goat herd

    If you go w/ LED and if you are in snow and ice country, remember LEDs rarely get hot enough to shed snow which can be a real issue. Truck-Lite does make a heated LED, auto-thermostat if I remember correctly. Check your voltage and wiring config and start w/ a Truck-Lite #07496 or NSN...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I have the same seats, I put two in my M916 and I have two more for my M925A1. Did you use a pedestal or did you bolt it right to the floor? Do you wish you had used a pedestal? Looks like a long ways from the bottom of the steering wheel to the top of the seat. If you pump it FULL of air...

    M928A2 from Fort Riley KS to Los Angeles CA

    How about flying SS member 98G out there and having him drive it home to his place in Az perhaps? I am just assuming he would do this but worth-a shot.

    5 ton Bobsled, Recovery assistance near Berkeley Springs WV

    I have some 12 pairs of matching snow chains for 1400 tires left that will make that beast crawl out of that hole in 30 seconds I bet w/o any help. Yea, you will need to install them first. Not a big deal for a couple men and some hot totties. They ship USPS flat rate, one chain per box. PM...

    ir armored lights

    Right or wrong I used a m939 series heater switch w/ a diode. There is a thread on this. Please don't ask me to find it. Do an advanced search with "Artisan" as the poster and for key words try "switch diode IR lights" . I "think" it was in the 5 ton area. In a nutshell I have high and low...

    Schutt Industries 1CSL0-SLC-T-1000 Self Loading Trailer

    Yes, I have considered it, but the weight kills it for me. You could weld in more cross members for support and you could deck it w/ up to 7/16" thickness of whatnot I do believe. If you want to just drive on and off you can do this just where the tires hit the floor and not deck the whole...

    GL has raised Buyer's Premium to 12.5!

    It makes a purchase less desirable. GL lost the ROLLING STOCK deal to GP and they want to try to recoup funds. I have definitely stopped many buys over this. 2.5% sounds like not much. GUESS WHAT...................
