That's looks much better than I thought it would with regular sized wheels and tires on it. Do you have a pic of the rear showing both tires in the pic?

If you would, post pictures directly to site. The links will eventually go dead and help no one.

Name it. I own a small ranch, so it gets used a lot. I haul wood, fuel, water, dirt, ladders, gravel, sand, cow poo, tools, brush, fencing material and on and on. Use the tailgate a LOT as a portable work bench. Trailer doesn't sit too high, so when I need to, I put a generator in it and...

Exactly. Thst is the exact reason I'm doing the gate in front also. When empty, swing gates back. The green one I have that I restored to original condition looks brand new. I rarely use it. Will use it as a rough camper when it cools down. The tan one I use several times a week. Just now...

Bought two NOS fiberglass gate sets from a SS member. Will be doing the front gate mod on the tan M101A2 Saturday. Will be really nice having a gate on both the front and back. I use it a lot.

What's up with GovPlanet? There are still a LOT of 5 tons sitting on bases, but the auctions have all but dried up. Just a few here and there. Yes, a lot are junk, but also a lot are nice. Anyone know what determines when these will be auctioned? I know several people, along with Alice...

Maybe you have an issue with some of the wiring suffering from internal corrosion. Wire looks great on the outside, but underneath the sheathing, corrosion is present, causing resistance. Old wiring will do that. Just a thought

AKA "Gin Poles".

I use ACF-50. Designed for aviation, but works on anything. It stops corrosion upon contact and will continue protecting for up to two years. Works great and I used it extensively on my CUCVs. None had any rust and I want them to stay that way. It seeps and penetrates very well. I soaked my...

When starting out and learning the CUCV electrical system, it can be extremely frustrating. I know I was ready to shoot mine a few times when I first got it and was trying to get it back on the road. Of course I didn't and the truck was worth every penny, bloodied finger, bad word, etc. The...

Frisco is hot and humid. Not as bad as Corpus but still

Like the old saying goes......It's better to have it and not need it,,than need it and not have it.

I run those on one of my trucks and they are great! Michelin A/Ts on the rest. Have a set on my green M101A2 now. Quiet, great traction, very long wearing. I run Michelin on everything I own. All E rated. Exception being on my tan M101A2 Installed used set of BF Goodrich All Terrains from...

My truck is all original and runs like a champ. Starts everytine all the way down to -6. (Coldest night last winter). It's driven daily. Keep It stock, buy the best parts you can afford and keep up with maintenance. Take care of it and it will take care of you. Start messing with original...

I have it sitting out by Route 66 for sale now. No bites Had it listed on eBay but not currently. So no links PM for info

Nicely Done CC!!

Welcome to Steel Soliders Why change the starter to 12v? Are you converting it? The stock system works very well when properly maintained. The more non-stock things you do to it, the less the TMs will help you. Same for help on this site as the majority leave their trucks stock.

Split the difference and do 175

The 5 ton went for a lot more than 10k.

Nothing Everyone wants it, yet no one wants to pay for it. I'm not price gouging at all. Oh well.
