I'm guessing it is at least a 5 ton. (That is why I posted this in the 5 ton thread) Can anybody tell me what kind of truck it is? (Is it US or foreign?) And what the official name of the box is and what it is used for? Length/height of box? Are they available? Any additional pics or TM...

Subscribed. Please... a picture if the A3 that day... Not being from snow country and have VERY limited experienced in it... (That is the cold white wet stuff right??) Would chains have made a lot of difference here? I know there are tons of variables, just like there are 1,000 kinds of...

Well.... From the looks of it and the previous postings, I am guessing the fun is all used up now and this has just turned into a meeting of administrators (In other words, a cluster***k) Not in a derogatory way towards those out there trying to rescue this thing from the mud zombies but in a...

I stand corrected. I went back and reread that post, he did say the shaft twisted, likely due to an improper weld. Understood. So.... to clarify, was a snatch block (or 2) in use at the time? Based on how badly you mentioned it was stuck, sounds like there is no question at least 1 should have...

And old thread but it has some useful info as pertains to this question: Is is possible/feasible to install CTIS on a truck that never hand it? Either a military or civilian system?? I am guessing the answer is no, but if it is something within the realm of feasibility I would be interested in...

:funny: When you do just be sure you use wire that is plenty large enough and I highly recommend putting said wire inside split loom or even slitting a rubber hose to cover the entire length. With the amperage it is capable of carrying you sure don't want it chaffing over the years and...

(How do you "Quote" pictures?) Now that truck with the water tank removed, frame extended and my 24' RV conversion box installed.... Just wondering do you know what it sold for? Do you happen to have the item #? I wold be curious to read what they said about it if it still comes up. Please PM...

Not trying to be a know it all here and certainly not attempting to insult anyone in any way... This is VERY GOOD advise. A hi-lift or "Tractor jack" or whatever you want to call it can literally kill if it is not used properly. In my off road vehicle I carry 2 of them and use them frequently...

You know..... not being a smart a$$ at all but... This is the second time in less than a week that the PTO pin sheered. Notice I did not say "Failed". It did not fail. It did it's job and committed suicide to save the winch from destroying itself in an overloaded situation. Why did the pin...

Exactly what I was thinking. I really do not understand destroying so much "Stuff" that could be sold to the public at a much higher price than scrap. They keep talking about increasing our taxes and so forth to raise money.... First thing my wife does to raise money is YARD SALE... Why can't...

I'm guessing from the "Mobile Repeater" stencil that it was likely used by civil defense or an enthusiastic HAM operator as a radio relay. If that is indeed the case it is possible that the big brackets on the front bumper had something to do with an antenna tower or some sort of "A" frame to...

Yeah, what he said... :) And yeah, GREAT JOB..!! Questions about the insulation; How do you attach it to the walls, inside of the hood, inside a hard top.... On the link you gave for the insulation I saw that they had a picture page and several people have installed it on the floor. If...

The "Standard" winch for the Deuce is a PTO 10k. The "Standard" winch for the 5 ton is a 20k hydraulic. Many people will argue that both the PTO and hydraulic are "Stronger" that the electric of the same rating. I'll not argue that point as it is actually not all that relevant. In...

Better than asking him the name of the weave.... Ask him how much he wants to charge. People can pull their wheel and send it to him to have this done. He could use the same packaging and ship it back. I bet he would get some "business". That would also look really nice on grab handles...

Totally impressive rig to be sure. The shelter mounted on the back of the truck, did he open an access from the cab into that shelter? EDITED TO ADD: I have learned that no, there is no direct access from the cab into the "Sleeper". I think I saw pictures of this rig elsewhere on this...

EDITED TO ADD: So your out! Great!! but you could have waited another 3 minutes to post that....lol... Seems you posted that while I was in the process of posting the following... Glad your out! So, have you figured out what was wrong with the front axle yet? Original post follows...

Over the last couple weeks I have been looking for more info on A/C units and found similar lack of results with TK so I guess not much has changed in the last 4+ years since this initial post. This link does not work (at least not for me). I would be very interested in looking at it if...

Interesting. Thanks for that link. According to the spec sheet it does look like (at least for the 20k unit) that it is capable of running on 12 or 24v. I have never heard of this company. Of course that does not mean they are not any good but I would be at least cautious until I found...

We use a 8,000lb Warn mounted on a trailer with a single stand alone deep cycle battery on the car hauler trailer. We have used it to pull a DOA forklift (VERY HEAVY - probably 2x any normal vehicle you would pull onto your trailer) and the battery did just fine. Probably could have pulled a...

First, this is not for a MV, but... I don't know of any other group with as much experience combining or working with both 24 and 12 volt systems as you guys here on SS. I have a friend with a 1 ton civilian tuck which of course uses regular 12 volt system. He wants to install a Warn 18k...
