    Seat belts manufacture

    I'm picking the truck up tomorrow, I will have to double check for the seat belts. I don't remember seeing any in there when I drove it and my son that went with me said he didn't see any on the passenger side of the truck either. If not I'll definitely contact fuzzytoaster for a set. Thanks for...

    Seat belts manufacture

    Going to be getting a 5 ton this week, when I test drove the vehicle it was very obvious that the air brakes are very responsive. It has been overhauled by the military and had the ABS upgrade. That said since my sons will occasionally be operating it, I was thinking that a set of seatbelts...

    Slantback/helmet top/soft top differences

    That makes alot of sense with the windshield change. I am really hoping that by summer we can get back to the normal seasonal shows and events. This last summer I told my kids to pull out all of our show tractors, shine them up and park them in a row in our pasture and call that the annual...

    Slantback/helmet top/soft top differences

I have a two post lift in my shop, so the lifting on and off would be very doable, lol, maybe the best option would be to buy a slantback and down the road a soft top or helmet top. Then my...

    Just getting into the mv scene, I have been looking at different rigs, 5 tons, ww2 jeeps and of course the Humvees. I just want to verify what I think I understand about the tops for them. I know there's 2 dr., 4 dr., trucks, etc. I would guess that they're all a standard base model, if I am...

    Hello from Oregon

    Thank you for the recommendation for the "10" book. If it doesn't come with the vehicle that I ultimately purchase, it will be the first thing I purchase for it. From the videos of them put out by owners on YouTube I did see the 90 pounds of air required to be able to drive. I have also seen...

    Hello from Oregon

    Hopefully when I am an offical owner of the 5 ton and more regiment we will be able to get together and talk in person. Salem is very close as you know to woodburn.

    Hello from Oregon

    I cant say that I know where the air tank drains are for the 5 tons, or even how to turn on the lights. Being completely honest, I have actually been giving those kinds of things quite a bit of thought. It's both making me nervous and anxious with anticipation. All good feelings for sure, as I...
