    Now all I need to do is get a convoy started from southern Indiana/kentucky. That would be sweet.

    Wheel chocks?

    Throwback to the military for me. They madated wheel chocks, so that's what I did. Old habits die hard, and I still chock my wheels no matter where I am when parking. Cheap insurance from an expensive/fatal headache.

    Yeah, I'm touching mine up as we speak. Not to mention redoing oil seals and repacking bearings in the front axle.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Fresh fuel water separator and fresh fuel lines for me. Old one was full of garbage and pinholed with rust.

    Show your 5 tons in the snow.

    I remember how bad our tanks used to be in the snow With their padded tracks. they're so heavy, they make their own ice. They're awesome off road in all weather, but not so much on the hardball.

    New guy from central Indiana

    Welcome from Evansville! Can never go wrong being a 5 ton. Visit the Indiana MVPA website for info on registering your 5 ton. Also, review IC 9-18-14 for IN registration law concerning FMVs. And again, welcome! If you're ever down this way, gimmie a holler.

    Show your 5 tons in the snow.

    I was on a train from Chattanooga to Nashville, and that ice was bringing down trees left and right. It knocked out or ditch lights on the front of our locomotive, and busted the conductors windshield wiper. It's definitely not the one you want.

    Those FMTV wheels fit it real well. They're a huge improvement over the old budds, in my opinion.

    Soreness in: a. Either of the two rounded prominences on the human torso that are posterior to the hips and formed by the gluteal muscles and underlying structures. AKA any length of time spent in a stock MV seat. :-P

    I'm familiar with the area. Our main line to Chicago runs up through Wellsboro/Westville/Willow Creek. Just a few minutes north of you if my hillbilly navigation is correct.
