Interesting info- thanks! I think I read that they returned to Ft. Sill in 2017 so they weren't at Ft. Lewis for very long.

My little man is looking geared up and ready to go in his pj's ...and then reality sets in...

I just finished reloading all of the pictures in this thread back to full size. When the forum switched software a few years ago it had reduced all the pictures to almost a swatch size. *VIC-1 update - I still love the intercom and it is working strong and clear. The only complaint I have is...

My 2nd challenge coin for 5-5 ADA arrived today and it shows Korea as its location. I don't know if that would be a deployment or more like a permanent station. Either way these are pretty interesting.

I found a 5-5 ADA challenge coin and picked it up because of its prospective yet unconfirmed tie to my trucks history / stencils. People have been asking about the stencils lately so it'll be fun to have a conversation piece to show them and talk about my truck's origin suspicions.

The PNW Steel Soldiers group had a post about an 809 PTO mated to a hydraulic pump for sale. Not sure if you'll be able to see it, but here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/339623506135698/permalink/4790641381033866/

I would give the jb weld or metal glaze a try. Seems like it couldn't hurt.

The KIA KM500

Fair enough. I have a feeling that my 16.00s may stress my bushings a bit more in the turns and cause them to reconsider their contentment...

TM + part target say that it's a 3/4" UNF male thread to accommodate a 1/2" tube.

Do you think 16.00R20s could push them over the edge?

True...maybe I should trade my pants for a tacti-kilt or something. I'm so used to the stock height that that last step keeps catching me by surprise when I'm stepping off the truck and end up going further than I expect.

I am liking the similarity between the AT3A and the SandTrail tires on the ATAC test truck.

It looks like the writing on the wall isn't gibberish after all... ...and another plus for Goodyear

Does running thimbles on a single wheel add any sorta offset? I wonder...

Congratulations on getting your new truck and good job doing all the homework leading up to picking one out! That truck looks like it's in good shape and pretty complete. Are those 16.00R20s? Could you have been seeing 51 mph on the speedo but doing more like 60? Just curious about actual...

Looks like the real deal - I like it. Did I miss a thread where you installed a manual tranny?

8" and counting as I write this on April 14th! The truck is sitting under a walnut tree so it's not as deep there. This is strange weather even for central Washington and I had just unlocked my hubs and put the snow scrapers away...

Cool! That's my '75 Highboy that I've had since I was 17 and I love that truck! They're bad-ass. That truck's been getting jealous of all the TLC that the 5 ton has been getting the last few years and it's time to show it some love.
