What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

[Floridianson]

Correction just got off the phone and got rid of one more so five more to go.
Why purge getting to old to have that amount of projects plus my memory is about done and want grass not trucks. Going to sell the five acres if I can get it cleared out. So money is the truth and I rather be on a warm beach some where or travel around the U.S.A. four wheeling with my Polaris RZR.

Don't joke about my favorite chair. I will make you a good deal on the 915A2.

I can understand the need for money. I'm from Cape Coral, originally.
I drove right past you when I visited home for Xmas. I should have checked with you to see if you have any parts for sale that I could use.

So...submitted my paperwork for tags and title. I should have my tags on Monday. Due to the VIN format, there will be a short delay, so I was unable to walk out with my tags.

I made a cardboard blocker for the radiator now that temperatures are freezing or below. I found some info in the TM's about when to cover the radiator, etc.
I took the truck for a few loops around the block to warm it up and monitor the temperature. All seemed well, with the temperature running at 180F with the radiator mostly blocked off.

Next, I took the truck down the road about a 1/2 mile and back, no problems. In fact, the engine just kept running smoother and all the vibrations in the cab seemed to smooth out.
I asked the Spousal Unit if she'd like to take a quick ride down the road, so she climbed up and bounced down the road and back, a mile or so.

We pulled into the driveway and I asked her "So, what do you think of it?"
She answered "I think I should have worn a sports bra!"

Forget pictures, we need video!

Installed an air ride seat in the truck today, what a difference

Amen, although I’m 6’3” and 180 pounds soaking wet

I thought others would relate probably more than you. I had one truck I couldn't get away from the wheel.

12v Winch Connection

This past weekend I finally finished building a winch assembly to lift the spare tire into its designated location. My truck is running the oversized 16.00xR20's which really limit headroom with the boom. So, I fabricated a bracket to adapt a Champion 2000lb ATV winch to the boom roller. Here's a youtube link for those interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUBndvBtRXw
Or search for "5ton Spare Tire Winch"
Attached is a picture of the assembly prior to install on boom.View attachment 752949

Finished the spare tire winch install by adding an external 12V quick connect. Thought I'd cover two goals by installing a system which could be used for jump starting civilian vehicles as well as being use for running the 12v spare tire winch. Used an Energizer heavy duty Jumper cable kit as the foundation. Uses 175A Anderson Power Products type connectors. Modified the winch controller to support quick disconnects at each end.

LOL...oh man, nothing says "I'm a bad---" like needing a winch to deploy and retrieve your spare tire.

High school freshmen telling my middle school daughter that she looks good in her volleyball shorts. Looks like I'll be picking her up from school more often in the 925.

With M-16's in the accessory gun rack in the cab.

Better with a .50 cal or m60 on a ring mount over the cab.

And a Prius stuck in the tread.

That will get you a ride in a cop car.
