While it is quite fun to do that the 5 ton does not have any undercarriage protection and the weight of the vehicle doing the will easily tear tires on sharp car parts. I have a large sidewall gash in a tire luckily I have several spares.

I tried the Chinese led replacement bulbs in my 5-ton they lasted a few days then burned out. When I first put them in they worked very well really bright. I made sure I had the ones that were 12-30v.
The control has a wire that goes to the brain mounted in the battery box. I swapped out the 2 8s for a single pioneer slim 10. The 8 inch boxes were composite and couldn't handle the bouncy ride the kind of broke apart. I had to move the glove box to fit the single 10 but it sounds pretty good...
Thanks that was all the weight they could stack on it. I could have pulled more. A deuce on singles tried to pull it his front tires went up in the air about 2 feet. I was surprised that the deuce couldn't do it.
All 5 lights blinking usually means the system did its pressure check and sensed a fill side air leak. The system waits till there is 120psi in your tanks to start operating. You can try cleaning out the little filter catch trap on the air feed to the valve body. The rear wheel valves especially...
Kevlar impregnated with rubber boot would not tear anywheres near as easy and Kevlar is cheap today. You could probably cut up an old vest and attach a piece to one side of the boot with some type of vulcanizing agent.
I love taking my 5ton to the supermarket and other stores. I get a lot of funny looks. Everyone thinks you need some special permit to drive it on the road I tell them yes a drivers license I get more dumb stares.
Thanks it makes it really visible if someone is on the side offset far back so they can't see the front or new side blinker but they are too far forward to see the rear blinker. Even the tractor is so long compared to most cars today. I am going to to the same to my 923 when I get around to it.
Side blinkers to eliminate the blinker semi-blind spot. They are daylight visible and bright at night. With the 2 of them on each side the blinker can be seen from the side and from the left and right rear offset.
