All- A local man advertised some tires for sale on FB. I drove over to check them out and was going to pull the trigger, but being as I use my 5 ton at highway speeds, the age of the tires gave me anxiety. They range from late 01- late 05 I know you guys are more offroad and low speed, so I...

Or "Adventures with Bertha". So today I loaded up and went about 150 miles to the "Veterans for Veterans" benefit car show. Up at 0300 to pretrip the truck... checking the lights, I realize one is "high beam" and one is "low beam". After grumbling and cussing, I open the hood and correct the...

I ran into a Marine buddy of mine at the last car show I went to and he told me he had a fuel can for me... I picked it up and it was rusted pretty badly. My kid Jak asked if he could do the resto on it and I gladly said yes. I'm all about helping stoke his passion for the hobby... So...

So... I was wondering what to do with the M105 I had gotten when I bought the 5 ton.... It sat in my back yard being neglected for about 7 months and I decided to turn it into a mini-camper.... I had started looking for stakes, bows and a cargo cover when I saw this on Eastern Surplus'...

All- I've linked Wes' video in this, but I know sometimes we don't have time to watch a video or we have limited connection, so after rebuilding my PCB today, I decided to put it in thread form: This is assuming you've diagnosed the problem is your PCB. My symptoms were: No power to the dash...

All- just rebuilt my PCB according to Wes' video, reinstalled and I have the same symptoms. No voltage to dash or starter system. Batteries are charged. Where do I start troubleshooting now? If anyone knows and wants to call, my number is 3183329703. Thanks in advance

All- I have a M105 trailer and to move it around with my truck, I bought this: While it works, the receiver on my pickup (a Ram 1500 Warlock) is really much too low for practical use. I have to pick the trailer up, fold the landing gear then drop it about a foot and a half and rock it...

OK all... revisiting this, as I'm offshore and have time to think about it. (At home I have no less than 10-12 projects going at any time... ) I didn't even have a chance to open the box and look at this, so I messaged my sweet lady and asked her to take pictures for me..... Ok... Here's the...

I've seen covers for sale for "ISO bed", have searched the web and the tried the site (the site won't let me because the search term is too short) and all of the results are for the cover for an ISO bed..... Any help? Just curious.

I saw this on FB and thought "That's genius!". Getting some for my steps and tailgate steps...

All, I am participating in this car show in Shreveport, La on November 6 if anyone would like to join me... It's to benefit hospitalized vets in the Shreveport area. The website to register is www.veteransforveterans.com

Here's what happens when a 5 ton and a bus meet... Before anyone worries.... my cousin asked me to help him move his "camp"... Never needed to go in low or lock the front wheels in...

All- Took Bertha to help my cousin move a bus (No big deal, never put her in low and never locked in the front wheels). ANYWAY.... I shut down to visit and when I got back in to start to build air..... nothing..... I checked my grounds and battery cables and tightened them all just to...

OK all- After hand to hand combat on these things, I got them wired correctly and working. I'll post details in another post. I wired my toggle #3 on my overhead to 24vdc and ran to the relay from there. Tomorrow is mounting and cleaning up wiring.

All- I'm pretty good electronically... but I need to check my brain housing group function on this relay: I'm hooking my lights up tomorrow and want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. So: A-> B is my contactor for the lights? I go Battery (or hot) on A and connect the light plug to...

All- Hopefully this will be the last question regarding my convoy lights.... Does anyone know the U-bolt size? Hopefully this weekend I'll be installing since I got the lenses off the lights! 😁

All- Hitting the road in the 5 ton. Taking a solo weekend to camp/decompress. Looking for a place within 250-300 miles of Alexandria, La to primitive camp/reconnect with my inner Neanderthal. Any suggestions?

I know this has been brought up before, but sometimes I just want to browse our supporting vendors sites and see what's available.... sometimes I see things I didn't know I needed. I'm aware of our "banner" vendors as they have ads on the page. Is it possible to have a page listing our vendors...

All- I've noticed when my fan kicks on (usually when I'm sitting at idle in traffic in Louisiana summer heat), my fan clutch is rattling. It's not a bad rattle and of course stops when the truck is moving again and I have air flowing over the radiator... I've checked the tms (-10 and -20) and...

All- My brain is running, and I'm curious as to whether the S250 Radio shelter is a good fit for a M105A2 or is there a bigger option to maximize the size of the trailer? My trailer is sitting in the backyard and I was thinking of some way to put it to a good use.... I'm going to look for...
