I guess I should have clarified a little bit. I want a real bobbed 5 ton, however my time constraints may not allow that, so I was wondering what a factory length 925 with a rear axle removed looked. I kind of like them with the deuce bed, but I want to retain the drop sides. I want to see if...
So I searched through 370 threads and several hundred pages to no avail. After having my bobbed deuce and my m1078 I want a bobbed 5 ton. The closest thing I have seen to what I’m looking at is a 5 ton with m35 bed. But I’m thinking about a 5 ton with factory bed and chassis length. Has anybody...
I guess the point blank answer is, it can do whatever it wants in 6x6 but I don’t want a 6x6 truck? I want a 4x4, 5 ton. I don’t need, nor desire 3 axles? A 5 ton with rated tires and springs will do just fine. If I needed a tandem this would be an m931a2 dump thread not and m931a2 bobber...
Maybe it’s just me, but over the years I have had way more luck with all wheel drive dumps then 2wd. This isn’t an end all be all for off road use, or something I think can magically not get stuck. It is simply a better alternative then a factory dump to lessen the headache I get when I have to...
Several reasons actually.
Scratch the bobed 5 ton itch, and dump in one swipe, a tandem is overkill for the bed size. The truck will mostly be used to move horse **** to the landscape place that takes it, and stone here and there from my local supply yard to my house 500 feet down the road...
From what looking I have done I’m looking at a 9 or 10 foot bed with 3-4 foot sides. That’s what seems to be on most 5 tons. I don’t really like adding springs either but I’m almost positive they could add a new top thicker leaf. I need to stop and see what my options are but the guy wants the...
Now first let me State I have searched. And I’m not finding exactly what I’m searching for.
I know there are a few options out there, mrap, and 5 Ton fronts, full air. When I bobbed my deuce there was a plethora of after market parts out there, saddles, perches, blocks, hangers, etc. with the...
I thought about a lift block, but with as much weight as I have put in this truck, the 105 springs are not ideal. I found a company out west who will make me a set of custom springs at any rating I desire for about 600 for the pair. I just need to get around to measuring for them. That and...
My heap, working on the rear squat here when I decide I want to drop the coin on custom springs.

Edit: apparently Photobucket changed how you insert photos?
After some looking it seems it's going to be hard to find what I want. I enquirer about 7 trucks over the last few days, either nobody would respond when I enquired about the S/N or if t was purchased as off road use only or were very vague like they didn't know what they had. I'm about to say...
Thank you. So pretty much what I'm seeing is that for what people are asking for these 998's and the 1038's I'm better off just buying a 1124 or 1045 in the auction and being legit. The price these people are asking is what the legit ones seem to be going for.
Im not sure where your getting the problem is with the state? I'm not asking how to tile one. I'm asking how I know one is or potentially could have been a truck sold as off road use only. And a test drive and inspection isn't going to do that. Research only goes so far, for instance I looked...
To me it matters because I don't want to deal with the legalities of a vehicle sold with an off road use contract should something happen. I understand there are ways to obtain a title, legal or not. Dosent make it any less of a liability should something happen, they may go after the seller but...
Recently I have gotten the itch again for a Humvee, but before I sell one of my pride and joys I want to know a few things. In no way am I asking how to circumvent the off road only designation they are sold with, but the recent infux of adds on Craigslist with these "titled" vehicles has me...
