    Would you attempt to flee wildfires in your 5 ton?

    I would not use any of my 900 series trucks to escape, I equip them with water tanks and gas powered water pumps and defend my property. I'm in the northern rockies, ex military and firefighter. Stand your ground and defend.. Sent from my SM-T817V using Tapatalk

    M925 harness burn

    That is exactly what I was thinking it was, very similar to the multiple ones we had in our M1A1 tanks. Cutting and capping is probably the most logical solution at least for now, it went through the flood here in Nebraska last year and had water to just at bed height, but I had relocated the...

    Original HMMWV USMC auction

    I corrected in a later post, there was an additional zero at the end of the number. I also went back and edited original post. That's what I get for not spelling it out, ha ha. And the info I got may or may not be accurate, it is just what I was told. The good news is, even though we may not...

    Original HMMWV USMC auction

    One of the regional managers at gov planet was telling me about it last month. Apparently they got the contract for them. I thought the number seemed a little high also, guess we will see what happens.

    Original HMMWV USMC auction

    30,000 humvees were just released for sale, the bottom is going to drop out due to market being saturated and they will be able to be had for much much less. Just look at what the price has gone to today compared to a year ago at auction. Now if we could only figure out why they still won't...

    Ghost lighting problem

    Ok, so a couple more questions. Are they like a standard 2 blade breaker, similar to the mtv or lmtv, or automotive breaker? And does it seem to be issues with the breakers, or the switch itself, for the most part?

    Ghost lighting problem

    So the headlight circuit breaker is actually in the three switch light switch itself? That would explain why I could not find it in the wiring harness...

    Ghost lighting problem

    So on a couple of early morning and late night trips I have had issues with my headlights mysteriously turning off and my dash lights going off and coming back on 30 to 60 seconds later, tells me it is an automatic reset circuit breaker. After doing an extensive search the only other similar...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Specs as follows... Class 3 receiver hitch, it will fail before the mounting brackets I fabricated out of 3/8 American steel and mounted with grade 8 hardware will. Added bonus, the way I designed it, we did not have to drill a single hole in the truck or frame.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Finally got around to installing a receiver hitch to make her more useful. Once I get a little CARC sprayed on it next week it should look like it always belonged.

    M939a2 air conditioning kit installed

    Don't let my wife see this! It would be the next upgrade after the air ride seats are done! You haven't lived until you've been in a 5 ton in the giant sandbox. Awe, who am I kidding, I love it! And so much better than those massive bulky space eating units.
