These are the tow bar clamps and the tow bar in place. Looks mean. Might have it powdercoated in the near future black for a nice contrast.

I painted up the towbar. I have some tow bar clamps I powder coated black and is mounted to the front bumper. I'll have some photos tomorrow of it mounted up.

Got the Down pipe for the turbo build. It's off a freight liner. Ordering my new injectors tomorrow. Plan on starting the turbo build end of this week. Lots of photos and videos to come showing the difference in power, temps, etc

One of my best friends turboed his m925 and has had nothing but positives about it. I decided to follow suit. Overall I am looking for lower temps on mountains and hills and a little bit of power gain. I decided to get a brand new pulse manifold. I went with a Borg Warner BHT3B. More...

After getting back home I drove the truck and noticed fuel leaks coming from the pump. I decided to "bite the bullet" and had a pump rebuilt by premco. Put the same 27 fuel button but all new gaskets and internals to get rid of old leaking seals and make sure the internals of the pump are...

Truck did fantastic going to Redball Military Show this year. Truck drove 320 miles round trip give or take and did flawless. Truck was a dream to drive. At 50 mph I'm at 1450 rpms. I get more noise from the tires then I do from the engine. Feels like it's idling. Truck towed the m105a2...

Thank you for the tips and suggestions! I'll take a look at them!

I know very well Brutus is a guntruck from Vietnam. I wanted a m54a2 but couldn't find one. This is not an attempt to do the same thing with a 900 series. I just liked the name and felt it was fitting.

Installed new pan trans filter and flushed the amsoil out after 700 miles. Put new amsoil in with a new cat spin on filter. I also installed a new CAT coolant filter and CAT water/fuel seperator and new fuel filter. The water/fuel seperator was about 1" longer than the wix and the fuel...

Back in July I had the privilege of being apart of escorting the vietnam wall to the staging area and being behind the wall as a "guard" while my father in his m35a2c was the "guard" for the front. Only 2 military vehicles there. What an honor and experience. So many thank yous and waves. It...

Since Memorial Day I have gotten to take Brutus to 2 car shows. I also made it to the 4th of July Parade today. I had an alternator issue. The one I put on started to fail with 500 miles on it. Got a new one from Napa this time. So far so good. I also got the methanol kit installed. My...

Took Brutus to Memorial Day Parade and truck did great. Last few days put 140 to 150 miles on truck and running great. 1 vet said the truck looks so good it should be in a museum. Big shout out and thank you to all of steelsoldiers members who serve or have served for protecting our rights...

Installed a light bar on the tire mount. I used an amber led light bar because it's easier to see and focus. It lights the bed up nicely and it also can be used as a safety light in bad weather. I have been getting the truck ready for Memorial Day. Here's some photos with my nephews last week.

Ordered the heater core and it came in. Took photos of inlet and outlet and how I had it plumbed. Before it went to filter then Hester core to trap any junk from getting into the core. This caused restriction and not full flow going to the core. Now it's being replumbed so it will go to the...

Did more inspection on the injection pump and turns out the feed line that comes out of pump and goes to the front and rear head was leaking at the flared end. It was cracked. Replaced with a stronger line. Truck fires up and runs great. No more leaks. It was hard to tell after driving...

Yeah, I figure with having the pump rebuilt It should last me for the rest of my lifetime. Also, plan to add methanol Injection should help with some Temps on hills.

First trip went well. 150 miles and truck did great. I have a leaking gasket for the air dryer, need backup and bed lights installed, Methanol kit needed installing, painting frame, and coolant hose fix. My coolant hose adapter from 2.5" to 2" had some leaks with the alumium flange adapter so...

Brutus took his first trip today and did great. Still some remaining coolant coming out of the heater core but minimal at this point. Truck did great. New speedometer has over 100 miles on it and it's speed matches gps perfectly. Highly recommend anyone who needs a speedometer to upgrade...

I know what you mean. I think the part I remembered was once it gets up there you have to lower the chain hoist some so it isn't under tension, hopefully I won't need to deal with it in the future. I brought all the tools I need to do it should that happen.

Mounted the 16r20 spare behind cab. That was a chore. Got a 1 ton hoist from harbor freight and had some spacers to move the metal plates on the tire holder out to fit the larger tires. What I found was unless the tire was at a low tire pressure there's no way it would fit behind the cab...
