What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

[Superthermal]

Getting my transmission swapped while getting a bad throw out bearing and pressure plate out as well.
Made a couple of short videos about how to pull the transmission solo. More also on my build thread here on SS:

Superthermal's M813 Build, THE BOT

Had a great outing with the local MV guys here in Utah. I had to drop out a day early due to some clutch disengagement issues. The peddle lever connects to a shaft that is mounted to the top of the frame and a shorter shaft then pushes a forked rod that connects to the actual clutch fork. I...

M813 the BOT...

Are you planning on working it, DREDnot?

I do like the look of them like that.

It would be like a short wheelbase cargo truck with a dump bed

I bet there are a ton of people who would be interested in those.

I got pricing figured out and have these battery hold downs listed in the classifieds. I'm hoping to finish up some projects and parts that have been in the works for too long. One such project is the 4 low-profile valve covers for jake break installs that I need to complete and make available...
