    Who has a receiver on their 5t?

    On my M925A2, I fabricated mine using 4 inch, 3/8's angle iron with added bracing on the backside. Full use of the pintle is retained and is mounted as high as allowed to maintain departure angle in the back. Has held up to some heavy pulling. As for wiring, I made a 2 foot adapter cable from a...

    Custom bumpers

    My bumper had the little threaded mounts as well but I ground them off and filled the holes. I also filled the round and oval holes on the top.

    Outstanding job on the bumper install Swamp Donkey. The channel iron was a good idea and your boxes turned out good.

    M67 immersion water heater

    I am using my heater in a barrel to heat my greenhouse in the winter. I burn a mix of 75% gasoline and 25% waste motor oil. A full tank will last about 24hrs and the water temp on the surface stays around 130 degrees.

    Custom bumpers

    Thanks IGM. It is a much more aggressive looking bumper and is built well. If you end up with one, you will join the Southern MRAP bumper club as there will be one running around in Georgia and one in North Carolina before long. I will watch for one on GL here in Oklahoma City which is where I...

    Custom bumpers

    Got the slightly modified MRAP bumper installed. Using the original mounts as templates except the front edge was extended 3/8 inch, I made new mounts out of thicker metal. I did this for strength and so I could retain the original mounts should the desire to return back ever arises. The...

    Custom bumpers

    Here is a picture of previously mentioned MRAP bumper hanging in front of my M925A2. I think it looks good. I just have to fabricate mounts and re-work the center section to match the original winch bumper. The tube brush guard was an earlier addition to the original bumper and will like...

    Custom bumpers

    I used my JD2 bender and fashioned a brush guard out of 1.75 schedule 40 pipe and mounted some KC Daylighters. Since I scored 3 MRAP bumpers today at GL OKC, I will investigate installing on e.

    New member in OKC Oklahoma!

    Welcome from Macomb, OK. I to have a M925A2. As for CDL, no. It is tagged and insured and I drive it often. I live on acreage so storage is not an issue. As for modifications, all I have done is built a brushguard for offroad lights and a receiver hitch. I am giving some thought to participating...

    Meritor Transfer Case Into M939 Series Trucks

    Has anyone attempted swapping a different transfer case into the M939 series trucks, specifically one of the Meritor units? While I have not had ant issues with my M925A2 unit, there has been a few times when the need to reverse arises and it is inconvenient to go back to high range in order to...

    Trailer Bow Holders

    Message me an address and I will send you 3 unused holders. I purchased 16 Brand new right side panels with the fiberglass slats. I ended up disassembling two of them to replace the front and rear wood on my old pieces and converting a right side to go on the left by flipping the top slat. As...

    GL Does it do any good to dispute a claim ??

    I think many of us can provide horror stories concerning our GL purchases. The below pictures show what my 'F' condition transfer case looked like when I lifted off the top of the container. Considering the rust and the large crack, it should have been condition coded as scrap not something...
