    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Destroyed some wasp nest in the cab - air intake - where ever them little buggers decided to built is where they did. The elec winch stopped working so that was removed (used for spare tire). Finished removal of all the ctis crapola off the tandems - lit up the Onan Microlite Generator and...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Nothing fascinating - got the Joker down to the garage after giving the batteries a light charge after all this cold weather - Plan on removing the rear tandem CTIS valves as I already removed the steer valves and weights. Reason for this is I have a nasty hop out of the steer axle while going...

Fired up the on demand hot water heater to test it in the shower inside along with the sink...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    For my 5 ton this week - I went all out and splurged. It has been over a year taking her out camping waiting on Titles and registration here in Georgia as some of you might know. August 1st weekend I made camping reservations at Stone Mountain Park to take the 4 grandsons out camping once...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Marcel - there are way many more smarter folks here on SS than I am - I know it has the normal 3 wire to the rear of the headlight assembly but saw not external wiring for any other type of function - hopefully someone chimes in to advise. I know they are a lexan lense - so if you put rain x on...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Actually I got this set for free back in 2009 from my Trucklite rep. I gave them to my friend whom never installed them either. At that time I had the 109 and did not want to mess with converting it. So - my friend got sick of me begging for them back as I have the Trucklite LED's surrounding...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Well - got the lead out of my arse and at least got some stuff laid out and cleaned up. Have a couple small details to work out on the fab job before I hack into anything. That is a 6x6 tube - the 8" receiver tube will be cut into the center of the big cross tube and through it - welded up on...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    My rough cut pieces are 3/8ths steel - my cross tube is 3/8ths steel 6"x6" - all the cross bracing gussets are 3/8th steel as well. I do not think they have a class for what this will tote when I am done.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Well I have had all the metal for a few weeks now to build the trailer hitch on the rear - also have two LED headlight assemblies to replace the OEM lights in it. Will be picking up the tandem axle trailer in the near future and rid myself of one jeep out of the garage and then get started on...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I went all out tonight with no holds barred and got my Cobra CB radio installed - it was a heavy task but I endured. Now to figure out why I cannot hear anyone. Just want to listen to the truckers bitch on the way down to Columbus Sat and how miserable all their lives are. Breaker 1-9. I have...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Forgot to mention - I had some Acid Bright to clean the aluminum and corrosion off the muffler guard and piping yesterday. I put it on without thinning it down - full strength. The pipe and guard with its previous paint came off in stages - the Behr Ultra paint never gave up and withstood the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    It gets down to freezing here in Ga - but does take long to thaw as well w/no plans to run when its that cold - something to consider as well. Cold and Heat also make your rim "give" allowing the valve cores to be leaking as well as the O rings. Just as any metal does under heat and cold. Here...
