    LMTV pulling a Gooseneck

    I was thinking of doing something similiar with my 923a2. Glad to see that I am not the first to cross the bridge. I have a buddy that has a similiar set up on his dump truck to pull a gooseneck trailer. He went with a longer receiver hitch instead of the offset hitch though. Very well done...

    How long's your chain?

    This is my situation with my 923a2 but I think the tailgate was replaced at some point. The paint was flaking off way worse than the rest of the truck and the stops that are supposed to hit the bumperettes were in the wrong spot. I know that doesn't affect the chain length but maybe something...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I used a 4" latch because it had a little more throw than a shorter latch. It is a tight fit in there though. I lined it up on the back to mark the holes and used lock nuts so it wouldn't come loose. All the metal in that area is pretty thin so the drilling is fairly easy. I am very happy with...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    This is my cheapy door lock. It is a 4" gate latch that will accept a padlock if so desired. The hidden installation is key to the system. I just did the drivers door and combat lock the passenger door. I have a soft top but every little bit helps. I drilled a 2" hole and mounted the latch...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I am pretty sure I have seen metal cutting Sawzall blades that are long enough to cut that at any of the big box stores. Looks good.

    Locking doors

    Just today I put a slide bolt that latches my driver's door from underneath. I drilled a big hole directly under the door in the edge of the cab and mounted it inside. The slider slides up into a hole in the bottom of the door. It is totally hidden unless you look for it and a I can add a...

    Sled pulling with a 5-ton (and a M920)

    I would love to pull a sled like that. Looks like a good time.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Somebody had pics of a 5 ton dumper (can't remember the number) painted like that. It was a good looking truck. I was tempted to go that route but didn't want to paint the whole undercarriage. The pics may even be in this thread somewhere.
