What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

[fuzzytoaster]

Bad ass. Love that thing. What price are you hoping to get out of it?

Honestly no idea since the supply on 5 ton trucks has dried up.

Took the ladies from the American Legion for a ride in the Memorial Day Parade.

That's a fine looking group of ladies (and one fine young man, also) with some fine trucks.

Rearranged all electrical stuff and mounted bus bars, 12v fuse block, 24v > 12v converter (silver finned thing top right), back up camera box, to back wall.

Then, I finished troubleshooting an AC problem. Compressor Wire had no juice. After fooling around with wires and connections, it has juice. Same thing I have done a dozen times. I guess a pin wasn't connecting of something. Now my badly rigged compressor juice circuit has been replaced with the proper wiring.

That is a fine looking hard top. One of my AC installs there was a pin that was pushed in and the fans would not come on.

Nice. I habe been thinking about getting one for my son to drive to high school. He is 3 now. I figure get one cheap and fix it up over the years for him. Then he can drive it when he gets in high school.

That will be 13 years from now. By that time you kind of wonder if ANYBODY will be driving cars (instead of them driving themselves).

Remember house phones and land-lines? That was about 13 years ago that everyone had one, and the smart-phones were just coming out...

Can that A/C be mounted anywhere...such as on the roof? I still have the bench seat in mine so I'm limited in where I can put it.

Con not be put on roof as far as I know. There is a model that can be roof mounted. Red Dot makes them. Can't recall model number.

You can mount it higher up. Someone here put this AC in their truck with the bench seat still in it.

The red dot kit for the m915 a1 series of trucks is roof mounted. Wont do well on a 5 ton roof but i guess water leaks dont matter in the desert

Came home after the parade and started work on my S250 putting my company logo on the side. Going to be pulling it tomorrow for another parade. It came out good. It got dark buy the time I was done. I will post more pictures tomorrow.

Okay. Now I get it.

The logo wasn't making much sense to me before. But now that I see the NAME of your company, it all comes together.

Looks like my hitch holds up well! It's hauled these coolers all over the beach for the last 4 days.

Thanks, I'll take a look around for it. Not a big fan of it being on the rear wall because of potential access to the RV part when it is built.

We still get rain out in the desert, it just isn't as much as the rest of the country, or as much as I'd like sometimes lol. I wouldn't drill the through the roof to install it though if that's why you said that. I'd make a frame for it to hang from overhead and still keep it as tucked up as possible. Of course, I may not even bother with it and just have an A/C unit in the RV part that can blow it into the cab as well.

Stretched the M925A2's legs today.
Stopped for lunch at the historic Rock Cafe on Route 66 in Stroud, OK.
Had an amazing buffalo meat burger.

Found a Red Dot A/C unit that I like, R-9750-9-24P should fit over head nicely I think. I might opt for a more conventional RV unit for the camper part though, depending on my overall height when I finish the build.

Well, I may or may not have a 5ton fetish!

Naw Don you just like them, like some guys like redheads. When you get to ten or more it's a fetish, 20+ and it's an addiction. I am working on a 12 step program, I am down to less than 20 at my house and have closed the lot at the base so I can't easily just buy more, hope to be under 10 by the end of the year.
