Can a winch be added to one that originally didn't have one or are their differences in the trucks that would prevent that?

In light of the massive flooding I'm currently riding out here in north Houston I'm revisiting my earlier thoughts on buying a 5 ton to get me out if need be and help others if needed. I have had a few CUCV's in the past so I understand the TLC an older military needs and I'm also fairly...

You forgot to replace the canooter valve and top off the blinker fluid ;) I thought we all knew that when that valve lets loose and takes out the muffler bearings you can only get a few knuckles in instead of a whole fist

Wow..only here can we start out with a little lean and get so far off course that were debating concrete slabs and the frame has to be bent and if someone can read a tape measure and spot the big and little dipper. OP when your ready to do a brake job come back and I'm sure you'll be told to...

This is kind of late to the party but I feel its a valid and honest opinion since I have actually used them. My overall experience with brokers rather it be with veritread, uship or another one that is also a member here has been pretty poor. The best I ever had was when I hired a driver...

Are you measuring from the ground to the bottom of your wheel well openings or have you measured from the ground to the bottom of your frame in the front on each side? I have a Bronco that is doing the lean and it is as Skinny said a bad/collapsed body mount all the way in the front near the...

LOL I wish, I don't even have a blazer to put it on What did you end up doing with that fiberglass front you picked up a couple months ago? That was pretty neat also

looking good Rick. Sorry to hear your out of the parts business :cry: I know you had a few things that are on my list. I hope to one day take both of my 1028's down all the way and go frame up with them like that

I don't feel so bad now thinking I was the only one that hadn't seen one ever. I kind of want one now

Rust doesn't seem to be kind to the K5's at all. I was shopping for a civvy version a while back and none were in my price range that weren't swiss cheese cancer ridden scrap. That's actually how I ended up with a Bronco instead they seemed to fair the years better in the rust department

How rare are the full top K5's like that? I have never seen one and didn't even know they made them like that. I never caught on to the one in red dawn shown in the pic above sadly.

That is funny

I would have a hard time paying 5k for it. I haven't paid above $4k yet for any of the 4 I have bought that were not molested

Now that's interesting

Sometimes its just best not to poke the bear.
