For what it's worth, I've never had issues with my wipers.. They are much better than the ones that came in the Deuces/800 series trucks. Just make sure the rubber air lines are in good shape, and maybe put some air tool oil in each motor every so often. However, if you're talking about...

Could have also started life as an M934. Those came with double frames, correct?

Nuttin.. Absolutely nuttin :( Too freakin cold. Nothing makes me less interested in going outside and working on the truck than frigid weather.

Maybe just standard foam weatherstrip?

I'm curious.. Why do some people like to have the door handles vertical instead of horizontal? That just seems a little more awkward to me.

You have to run diesel-specific antifreeze with the proper additives. Otherwise you risk premature engine failure, etc. Please do a search using the search function here to find more info on coolant. If you want, you can also send me a personal message.. I think I still have a partial bottle of...

No.. I just prefer to have things that are overbuilt, rather than being built with components that sacrifice strength for efficiency. But I guess that's just me.

You done yet? :razz: :mrgreen:

I remember seeing that Top Gear episode when it came out.. Awesome :)

Cool 8) Johnny wants an armored M931A2 now.. Bad :drool::drool::drool:

Thanks :)

Cool :)

Welcome to the 5 ton club! You're gonna love it :beer::driver:

I'm curious.. Where do you get laminated armored glass from? And are there any restrictions on private individuals purchasing it?

Awesome thread 8) Definitely looking forward to seeing the end result :) I really love the look of that extended cab armored truck.. That's just SWEET. If I ever set one up like that I would skip the gun mount up top though. Would probably look good in a tractor version too ;) I like the way...

You will die. The weight of the rest of the truck crushes the cab. Unless you are extremely lucky, but there's certainly no guarantee. I still plan on installing a custom roll cage in my 5 ton when I have the spare cash. May not ensure 100% survival, but it will definitely help in the event of...

Perhaps. But that is only if you hit a vehicle that is the same size or larger than the 5 ton. Most civilian cars/SUVs will not cause the damage that you had mentioned. It's more likely that the truck would roll as a result of going over the top of the aforementioned passenger vehicles. That's...
