    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I mounted a cheap Harbor Freight hoist on mine. Nothing heavy duty but enough to load spares/ tool boxes/ empty fuel tanks. They sell for $150 new but found mine used in new condition on CL for $50. I couldn't pass it up. Mounting was simple since the angle iron braces weren't much thicker than...

    Pin-On 20,000lb Garwood

    Bb's in tires?

    I had decent luck putting two golf balls in the tires of my dually. When I loaded the truck down they didn't help much though. The flat spots kept the balls from settling.

    That is what I did too. Works very well and I didn't lose any visibility.
