What have you done with your 5 Ton

[jstier]

I know there was a thread titled "What have you done with your Deuce" so I figured us guys with 5 tons needed one too. So let me be the first to post a pic. 4k and all it did was smooh out the ride. Man I love this truck.

I drove my wrecker (see avatar) about 110 miles home on Sat. First time driving it ever since I bought it almost three years ago!!

Changed it a bit. Was M820 frame now dump/ grapple with tag axle.

I like it, its different looking with the digital paint job but its way cool. I see you made the rear axle the tag axle.

Floridianson that truck is sweet. I love the digital camo. Do you have a build thread on this truck? I would really like to see some more of the tag and its instalation as well as the paint job.

F'in awsome that truck is mean lookin.

 

[Floridianson]

Thanks guys and no pics of build. The drop/tag what ever you want to say just bolted on no problem. It's more for the frame twist when dumping as there is a lot of hang over!!!!!!!

 

[Heavysteven]

This is not healthy for me to be reading you guys are going to make me want a 5 ton.

Finished my extra Jerry can mount tonight. Put it right behind the curbside toolbox. Fit like it was made to go there.

Not at all. Keep up your preservation. Mine is pretty boring too, just hanging parts and maintaining. I can't come close to building a new truck like some members have done.

I'll take an old truck thats easy to work on and sometimes frustrating to work on too, verse something thats new and never needs to be worked on. Like I always say those are BOUGHT, OURS ARE BUILT. just my 2 cents.

I fixed by primer pump. Easiest and quickest fix I have ever done on any MV that I have owned.

Bought two O-rings at Lowes, removed the pump, cut the old rings off and put the new ones on.

Saves me $$ in the diesel that always drips when priming.
