    New 5 ton owner-- finally

    Sometimes that tank of fuel maybe old, so plan on having fresh fuel ready and a New fuel filter would be something that I'd have on hand.

    6Tl Battery advice please

    6TL batteries are junk, in my opinion. If I buy a truck that has them I get rid of them and go with commercial batteries. Much more CCA's and usually much better warranty.

    Towing a 871/872 behind civi truck

    Yes, the trailers have 12 and 24 volt connections. And the king pin height is level for a standard commercial tractor or a m915 type tractor. When you have a 6x6 tractor with the military fifth wheel thats when the trailers get higher.

    Any police issues with driving an unregistered 5 tonner from base?

Also did the tanker have a electrical plug to connect for the lights or did you tap into the wiring...

    GL & HUMMVe

    I guess we are fortunate that we can buy anything at all from GL. Its a shame to see the HUMMVEES mutilated like that, even though my interests are in the "big trucks", I could surely find a good use for one or two of them. Unlike the two the local police dept has, just sitting in the same spot...

    the XM971 "command camper" build

    No, unfortunately the owner past away, and the family wasn't interested in keeping it open. It was the Outpost Bar.
