    What was your first Modification to your 5 ton?

    Man, what happened to that truck....Air dropped IED or rolled? Door locks, that is a good idea. I was thinking about doing a mod that would allow me to remotely with a hiding switch disable the starter, just in case someone knew how to start the truck.
