Default 5 Ton Bobbed Truck Owners

Any owners of a bobbed 5 ton? Would like to know how the truck handles on and off road and maybe a comparison (if possible) to a bobbed deuce. Thanks!

Yes, there are a few bobbed 5 tons around. Try the search function and you will find a few threads.

So far off road it handles great, I have a few things to button up before I drive it on the hardball.
I couldn't tell you about a bobed deuce since this is my first bobed MV.

I purchased it and need to complete it,( I.E. no rear wiring ,I'm going throught the brakes and finding out why it has no air presure, replaced the cracked glass, also the drivers seat needs a new cover.)
I picked up a winch for it and need to get it installed.
