Mike, now that you got most of the weed killer stuff removed, it's starting to look like a halftrack. Post some pics of your second halftrack when you can.
Will, I did the first installation using a cherry picker as I wasn't sure how things were going to come together. Now that I got the tow bar centered and snugged down, if I need to remove the tow bar, I loosen the adjusting nuts to get some slack in the chains, and slide one end out of the chain...
Welcome aboard from Nevada. The 923A2 & 925A2 are great trucks. Best of luck with your new purchase. Also, get familiar with the TMs for your truck.nopics

I was at Idaho Motor Pool a couple of months ago looking at a metal top Alex had, and I don't recall seeing any fiberglass tops. (I probably just missed them) If you haven't already contacted Alex give him a call about availability. Also just curious as to what sort of rear window do the...
