All- I'm pretty good electronically... but I need to check my brain housing group function on this relay: I'm hooking my lights up tomorrow and want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. So: A-> B is my contactor for the lights? I go Battery (or hot) on A and connect the light plug to...

All- Hopefully this will be the last question regarding my convoy lights.... Does anyone know the U-bolt size? Hopefully this weekend I'll be installing since I got the lenses off the lights! 😁

All- Hitting the road in the 5 ton. Taking a solo weekend to camp/decompress. Looking for a place within 250-300 miles of Alexandria, La to primitive camp/reconnect with my inner Neanderthal. Any suggestions?

I know this has been brought up before, but sometimes I just want to browse our supporting vendors sites and see what's available.... sometimes I see things I didn't know I needed. I'm aware of our "banner" vendors as they have ads on the page. Is it possible to have a page listing our vendors...

All- I've noticed when my fan kicks on (usually when I'm sitting at idle in traffic in Louisiana summer heat), my fan clutch is rattling. It's not a bad rattle and of course stops when the truck is moving again and I have air flowing over the radiator... I've checked the tms (-10 and -20) and...

All- My brain is running, and I'm curious as to whether the S250 Radio shelter is a good fit for a M105A2 or is there a bigger option to maximize the size of the trailer? My trailer is sitting in the backyard and I was thinking of some way to put it to a good use.... I'm going to look for...

So... I'm perusing the TMs as I am EXTREMELY bored at work and come across item 20 on the picture below labeled "Electrical Outlet Receptacle" that, according to the TM "provides battery voltage for extension cord trouble light" and item 21 which is a "Auxiliary Outlet Receptacle" which "is...

If any of our members are affected by the flooding in TN, please feel free to reach out. I'm sure I speak for a lot of us when I say if we can help, we will. Stay safe.

I have searched and haven't found any info on it. Anyone know anything or have a link? Thanks

I haven't seen a thread devoted strictly to this yet... so... I have a tan cargo cover that I'd really like to paint black, but my mind is telling me any paint I use will end up cracking etc if I roll up the sides or fold it. Has anyone painted their covers? If so, how were the results? What...

All- I currently run Goodyear 14r20s on my 5 ton. I'm thinking about going to the wider Michelin XZL 16r20s. Will I run into a clearance issue with my steering tires and will 16s fit on my current rims? Thanks in advance.

All- One of the issues I have with my 5 ton is the battery switch will not kill electrics to the starter or dash gauges. In the off position, it is possible to still start the truck and my gauges will eventually drain my batteries. To "fix" this and add additional security to the truck, I've...

All- I have checked the -10 and -20 TMs (searched for "convoy") and cannot find installation instructions. I searched the site and found the Deuce -20 for installation, but I don't believe they are compatible. Anyone have a direction to point me in? I appreciate all and any help!

All- I remember a NAPA crossover list that had everything from lights to filters etc. I have searched and searched and cannot find it. Lots of threads referencing it, but not the list itself. Is there any way to make it a sticky in maybe the restoration forum? In particular I'm looking for...

Being as awesomely hot as it is in Louisiana, when I drive the 5 ton, I usually have 5/55 A/C going (front, door and back cab windows and kick vents open @ 55mph) to cool the cab. The other morning I was driving it and felt warm air on me and was trying to figure it out... After playing with...

All- after the debacle that was removing my spare tire for painting my 5 ton, I now know a lever lift wire come-a-long is no bueno as the clearance between it and the gantry/tire was too tight and I almost threw my back out getting the tire up/down. I'm looking to get a small strap to put...

Actually it was yesterday and today..... Derusted and painted Big Bertha..... I like the results. I gotta say though, taking the spare off was a..... well.... we need to keep it at least PG here so... fill in the blank. Once again my lovely patient girlfriend only threw 1 wrench at me, so I...

So, for my birthday/father's day my girlfriend bought me the system from Those Military Guys and I installed it yesterday. Basic overview, the set was missing some hardware (No self tapping screws etc that were referenced as "included") and the provided hole saw was worthless. Other than that...

I had written a post about this years ago, but Louisiana changed laws, had meetings and changed laws again and the old thread is pretty convoluted, so I'll start fresh. I bought a 5 ton from a member and we both knew the vehicle had been titled as "ORV" (offroad use only) during the period...

I posted this thread a while back and never got a definitive answer. Fortunately, during the local 4th of July parade, I was staged next to the local VFW while we were waiting for the parade to start. All of the guys in the VFW were lovi g in the truck and I was talking about it and one of...
