    Tires. 14.00s vs 16.00s

    All of the wheel talk got me thinking about the difference between running 14.00s vs 16.00s on an A2. Who has swapped to 16.00s and what differences did you see between the two? Did it slow the truck noticeably? Was the ride better or worse with the 16.00s? Were there any clearance issues...

    Any plans for another SoCal meet?

    I missed it last year and would like to plan for it this year. I'm in Castaic and know a few people at the lake. I could check into it if there is interest. Sean

    My receiver hitch is in.

    I talked to Rob at TMGs about installing a 2.5" receiver right after I bought my 932. We went over a few different ideas, this is the result. Rob just sent these pictures today and I'm super happy with it. They extended the frame rails to the back of the bed, then relocated the pintle and...

    A2 motor upgrade option questions

    I've had my 932 for a few months now and really dig it but always looks for more. I don't plan to drag race the truck but would like to pull a load up grades without slowing to a crawl. I started looking into motor swap options and came up with the following. I'm looking for input on each so...

    Installing lockers in a 5t

    I've read in the past that Detroits are available (or were) for the 5t axles. I also read the thread about ARBs. I've had both before in pickups and would dig lockers in my 932. I always seemed to have issues with the ARBs leaking and seemed to have better luck with the Detroits. When I...

    932a2 hood adjustment

    Hi all, My hood is hitting the cab metal to metal and I'd like to adjust it forward a bit. So far I loosened the four bolts under the pivot and pushed them as far forward as possible. They moved about 1/4" but it didn't really help. One thing I noticed is that the pivot and cross member is...

    FINALLY! I'm a 5 ton member

    I've been a member of the site for a few years and had the bug as long as I can remember. I've probably looked at 10-12 different trucks and almost pulled the trigger several times but always ended up talking myself out of it. I narrowed down my wish list to an a2 winch truck. I also wanted...

    932 vs 925

    I'll do a proper into later with pictures and info, but for now-I've got a couple questions. So I got some seat time in my 932 yesterday. This is the first mv I've ever driven so here come the questions... How does the ride compare between the short and standard wheel base? I ask because...

    Who has a receiver on their 5t?

    I'd like to pull a trailer with a 2-5/15 ball and curious if and how anybody has installed a receiver on a 5t. I would like a 2-1/2" shank and 20,000lb capacity. If you have a receiver, please post pictures.

    Would you drive your 5t to Baja?

    I have a buddy with a dead F350 in San Felipe and asked for help towing it back to Cali. I'm not worried about it breaking down, but I can imagine how much the federalis would hassle you. Has anybody ever ventured south across the boarder?

    Question about installing rear winch on 925

    So I've seen a few threads about installing 18k electric winches on the rear of 939s and it got me thinking. Could you install a 20k hydraulic winch on the rear to match the front winch? To me, it seems like you could tee the lines that feed the front winch and run them to the back. As long...

    Turning radius???

    Anybody know how much tighter will a 931 turn than a 923? I know the 931 is 12" shorter, but is it that noticeable?

    5t advice before buying

    So I've been researching MVs for a few years and really want a 5t A2. I've narrowed it down to a 925 or 932. He are my plans for using it, and where I need help. Right now, I pull a 34' bumper pull toy hauler to the desert 5-6 times a year with maybe 2 trips out of state. The trailer weighs...

    M1070 vs m920

    I'm curious about the main differences between it and an m920. It looks to seat 5-6 in the cab, which is a plus. It's also an 8x8 vs a 6x8. What else is different?

    I want to bid on one, but worried that I won't be able to register it if I win.

    First MV. Question about towing with a 5 ton or larger.

    I'm looking at my first MV and have been looking at the 925A2, 932A2, 916 and 920. I plan to tow our 17k toy hauler to the desert and back. I also want to use it for road trips. What ever I end up with, I will end up mounting 16.00s for better freeway speeds. Here are my questions. How...

    Questions about transporting after purchasing from GL

    How realistic is it to try and drive a truck off the base and home if you win an auction? I've been looking at trucks out of state, and have been focusing on trucks that run. I'd like to drive it back home, but it wouldn't be registered and I also don't have a class A license. What's the worst...
