I learn something new every time I come on this site.

This is one of the aesthetic features I like most about the 5-Tons. The raked fenders give it an I-mean-business-look. But, as we all know with all things military form follows function. Seems to me, If moved father to the rear, the top loading differentials would interfere with the oil pan. It does make things easier to work on. Spencer likes to take cover under those fenders.

Well theres your problem, you've got a small chiled logged in you tire.

I think I learned that lesson early on, like post #3 or #4. Its only taken 1800 more to learn to NOT tell someone else not to do it.

That little handsome studly man is my "run-flat". Get a flat, he just picks up that axle and "runs" with it.

People in this thread have already put more thought into the fender placement than the military did. IMO they built the "meat" of the truck and then slapped some fenders on there that covered the tires.

If you think the military cares anything about looks, all I have to say is one word. M35A3.

Pulling this back from the dead. Has anyone ever measured the actual difference in length between the 2.5 a d the 5 ton fenders? I am wondering if I should use the extra length of 5 ton stuff to finally clean up my bodywork.

Thanks for any input!
