    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I finished the air cleaner modification and took her out on a decent run. She seems to have a lot more power on hills and when you floor the throttle at 1800 RPM you can feel a surge and hear the turbo spool up. I went to two diesel shops today trying to find someone to turn the fuel up...

    Nice to see her being worked like a rented mule.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I'm getting the M927A2 ready for the GA Rally. Drove it to a antique truck show yesterday (50 mile round trip) to shake the cobwebs out. Got a lot of compliments on it. Today I straight piped it and tomorrow I'll do an air filter conversion so it can breath even better. I'm also going to try...

    Louisana to Georgia rally

    I'll call you from Exit 199 in Alabama to see where you are when we get there. If you are pretty close we'll wait at the Ga state line. If not we'll roll on through Hotlanta and wait on you at the Flying J. We can make a royal entrance into the rally.

    I have deuce front springs for "bobbing" projects. I'll have them with me. Also should have two 5 ton spare tire carriers for the super singles.

    No Longer STRANDED - MK48 exhaust elbow needed

    Can you use a large band clamp to patch it with until you get it home? If it is on a flat section you could use a piece of thin metal to wrap around it and then clamp the crap out of it on either side of the hole. Is there a welding or muffler shop close by that could patch it? Just my thoughts.

    Thinking about getting a M275 have some questions.

    They are rare trucks. A gasser is even rarer. I just sold my M275 and I regret that I never had the time or money to restore it to it's former glory. I rescued it from a logger that was going to use it as a pull out truck so at least I did that much. A member on here bought it and is now giving...

    Louisana to Georgia rally

    Morning traffic jam starts around 6am and ends about 9am. Afternoon traffic jam starts around 3 and last until all the morons get home or to the bars. That's under optimum conditions. Add road construction, a hazmat spill, a big event downtown at the arena, or other traffic incident and all...

    Louisana to Georgia rally

    We will be leaving the LZ in Gadsden around 0900 in order to navigate Hotlanta after the morning traffic jam and before the afternoon traffic jam. My guess is that you guys will hit it just in time for the afternoon flush unless you bust camp a lot earlier. If you do we can meet up near the...

    2016 Ga Military Vehicle Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    I have some deuce front springs (two sets I think) and two 900 series five ton spare tire holders for the super singles. I'll be bringing them whether I have buyers or not so remember cash is king on Super Deal Sunday. I also have several sets of 5 ton mud flaps (the metal ones with rubber...

    Building an xm381 style bobber

    If you want a great brake upgrade SS member Steve 6X6X6 does an awesome disc brake conversion. He brings his modified bobber to the GA Rally every year and it is a fantastic piece of engineering.
