I'm not going to even attempt to campaign for my rig this month, 14 votes within 3 days for one rig which is more than most usually vote in a month. Nope we already know the winner.
Some videos too, first one is of I went to rescue someone and I felt the rig slide I stopped it, went back and got my excavator started pulling it back and the tow strap snapped sending the 5 ton off the side of the ridge. I had to recover it myself too since the person I rescued didn't offer to...
I keep saying I will put AC in one day, but when temperatures hit 95°F-110°F I really have no reason to have the rig out. Even if I had to more than likely going to be outside anyways once I get where I am going. I'm only 44 years old so heat doesn't bother me much yet, grew up in SE Texas, 5...
Just got my heater in for my 5 ton, yeah all those pictures in the winter time up above I did without a heater and the cab has air flow as if the window is down.
Anywho as I talk to myself here, went to open the box up and I’m afraid to touch it now, I feel bad for even opening it up.
Yeah it’s...
And I now upgraded the tires, that was a fight, even replaced all the o-rings on the rims and valve stems. Took the leaky CTIS system off, not seeing much benefit for when I need to inflate/deflate. Next is time for a hitch, then replace mirrors, put new heater in and rebuild the cab.
Unlike most rigs this one has been there through thick and thin, over the ridge through the mud and hauling home whatever I ask of it. Not prettiest, but it's getting work done to it and does what I need with room to grow.
If you vote for this rig, you vote for a working rig, not a beauty.
This is MERDC camo, which means Mobility Equipment Research and Design Command that was designed in the 70's, anything before that was just olive drab. Which means to have a MERDC camo it has the camo paint scheme of 1970's or newer.
They would only let me back up so far or I would have. Pickup trucks full blown crate motor ones couldn't even get as far as I did. Too deep, too steep of a drop, so many wrong variables, but it was fun. More of was surfing mud in front is why the rear sank as it did.
Pretty simple, took the M923A2 mud bogging in a pit that wasn't designed right. Put chains on all 6 wheels, strapped in and hope for the best was all one could do. I hit it so hard I ripped the bottom out of the pit on the second run, stuck it so good on the second run a M936A2 that was there...
Thanks,
Made some memorial moments not everyone can say they did in life. Not much of a story more of a "dead end" ended with being too poor to keep it 20 years ago. Not much of a story, more of blew transmission for second time couldn't get it off the businesses parking lot fast enough, got...
Yes I did while jamming out "Another One Bites the Dust" or cruising past churches during service with "Hell's Bells" jamming out. 1979 Lincoln Continental built by Andy Hoton Associations 1 of 25 built. Had 400 BB engine, dual straight exhaust, comp springs, bigger carb and would smoke the...
