Must be the crappy weather?

If i can ever move all my **** deuce parts i will get the barn cleaned up again and start piling parts for the 5 tons. Issue this year was we got our 925 running and a friends 923 running so the few parts i had have been exhausted.

I would be checking the compressor line for preseure. Take it off and see if she is pushing air.

Hose clamp is what im hoping for. All i felt like doing in the cold was grabbing it and checking the hose for tightness. It "seemed" tight. Supposed to warm up in the next week i should be able to get out and check it out. Its been exposed to - temps several times this year im hoping the oil...

Plugged the block heater back in for the nasty cold coming again. I see there is coolant leaking from somewhere by the oil cooler. I see a small pool of coolant on the ground under the truck also in the same area. Anyone have any idea what it might be? Its too **** cold to go try and hunt...

Well i will be danged. Interesting, it remind me of a welder i met in iraq, he was a local national. My civi 8 ton had its nose plate armor fall off after an interesting night movement i pulled in after the bird bath and i tell him i have an hour before we move out and get it fixed. He gets...

Holy **** i never saw any humvees done up like that. We did have some rhinos that had the tores covered like that. Speaking of which i would love to have a rhinorunner.

Meh... I liked the episode. I know when we used to pick up the old m35a2 trucks from fort riley we had our connections and the pick of the litter, my old man was the STARC nco at riley for 10 years so he was well known in the drmo and mates. Now this was like 12 years ago but we would look at...

Dang i would have been down for a protest convoy...

I've seen the goodyears fail also... These tores are getting old. **** mine look brand new and around95% tread left as the truck only has 5k miles. But looking closely there is dry rot around the lugs. That being said we build the goodyear at2 tires here in topeka. The plys in that tires...

Heck i will try again. Picks from the Tall Corn Festival

I have a couple that either say 87 or 07 its hard to read at this point. I work at the plant that builds that tire and there is an old timer there i need to talk to who builds the molds he i guess remembers all the codes for the last several decades lol.

Gonna start it and let it run for a couple hours check fluid and maybe get it out on the road for a short trip on a side note. Does anyone know when they started going to the super single goodyear at2? I ask because i looked at a build date on the tire and it doesnt seem possible to be that old.

There is some good fab work here guys. My only gripe is i am seeing (in my opinion) hardware that is much to small for the purpose of somthing that will pulled and pushed on and of the trailer is heavy enough those torsion forces multiply quick on big long drop stingers

What year 3500. Chassis changed in 88/91 and again in 2001 and again in 2007.5 and again in 2011....

8d's are wonderful they spin that big cummins up quick fast and in a hurry.

Looks good man. You would get more views if you posted this in the "what have you done to your 5 ton" thread though

I like them both. The 939 series has the more menacing face the 800's had the sad kinda dopey face. Im of course partial to the 939 though. wearing his red rudolph nose.

Nice humvee there. Welcome from up north in topeka.

Thats the best looking 5 ton bobber i have seen. Nice work sir.
