    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Mmm, maybe not lazy. Just "easier informed". Back then you had to work for any answer you wanted. Figure it out, or go get a dictionary or go to the library.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I have the luxury of being able to raise my bed, which I will be doing. A 4x4x11ga or maybe 3/16. I'm sure either would be fine.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I just took a screenshot or two of me cruising at 70.4 and 65 on the flats. I'll do another video of 0-10,20,30 etc on the speedo, but, I'll have to mark where 10,20,30,and so on really is on the speedo since it is no longer accurate. 60 indicated is 65 actual now. Curious how the tire tire...

    Mos, thanks! But, I don't know if I want to hear you say "buff" and sexy in the same sentence when talking about me! But hey, I'll take the compliments wherever they come from. They are getting harder to come by. For a size comparison, check this picture out. Puts it in perspective. The guy...

    400 hp engine, 400 hp compressor. This guy doesn't fool around. :)

    Today I finally got around to it. I ©16'd my truck. That's right I copyrighted it. Please feel free to use the phrase and just PayPal me the royalties. Working on getting Wikipedia to update the term. ©16'd - (six-teen-ed) - to install giant 16.00 x 20 tires on ones vehicle. Anyway, here's...

    Big Bend NP Get Together?

    I have learned that, just because it's in Texas doesn't mean it's close. Memphis TN is closer to me (Dallas TX) than Big Bend. It's 12 hrs in a 5 ton. Each way. I love the idea of going there. It's a place I have wanted to see for a while. But, my bum and back can't take 24 hrs in a 5-ton...

    VIC to Cellphone Adapter and Military Radio Digital Modes Adapter

    I drove 700 miles this week in my 5-ton, all the while, fussing with earbuds under my bose headsets, unable to answer calls or listen to music. Im so happy to finally have something that works with my system. Thanks again Augi. I look forward to my next trip testing it out!

    front suspension mods AKA - ride improvement mods AKA - butt happiness mods

    Jeff, those pictures you show are of a setup with only two springs or so. I love the setups. Look great. But if the axle never flexes and never reaches the bags, it's just window dressing. Springs have to be removed to allow the air bags to work. Is that what you are suggesting? Take away...

    Lindsey had an idea about hydraulic suspension. I'd like to hear more, since I don't know much about it. Where to start?

    front suspension mods AKA - ride improvement mods AKA - butt happiness mods

    How quickly we get off topic! I guess it's the spice that adds to the threads. I have a 140lb winch and about a dozen custom bumper ideas to house it. That's a good start. Also may build in a place to securely mount the tow bars. There is some more weight. I figure winch mount to be at 75 lbs...

    Want to put A/C in a M925A1... anyone got pictures of their install?

    Thanks. Bout to do it all again in a 931A2. Then aM923A2. I do not like the heat. All of my trucks will have AC.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Remotes can be found easily. Even if you have to rewire the plug it goes into. I did just that from a place in the U.K. Since I was buying a lot of solenoids from them anyway. I think $50 or somcan get you wired up. As for the air lock, you need the owners manual or TM to understand it. What...

    Want to put A/C in a M925A1... anyone got pictures of their install?

    Wes, what compressor did you put in it? And is that an LMTV evap unit? What condensor did you use? I'm considering a condensor mounting spot like yours this time. My old spot/system works great, but won't on a M931A2 I know my red dot system and how it works, but in yours what activates the...

    If I had the disposable income, and if I thought it would add $6500 in value to the truck. Accessories rarely bring much in the case of a resale. No idea what this would add in value. I'd love to think it would add its cost or at least 75% or so. I will give you props for the best idea yet...

    You had me at "Oshkosh" you lost me at "$6500"

    That's a brilliant idea, so, I'll figure out the transfer case issue, you go get the front end and meet me here. I'll buy the beer and hire some youngmooses to do the lifting while we sit back and tell each other how smart we are!
