This is probably the only thing holding me back right now. I spend a lot of time outdoors and mainly in Nevada lately. People do not like the gov here. When people approach me while in the country (hunters, shooters & people that think they own the land) and they end up getting butt-hurt...
I don't know about the 5-ton or 24 volt system, but the batteries need juice to stay good long-term. I have a practice to either use a battery tender on 24/7 or start the vehicle and let it run for a while once a week. If the batteries you have shorted out, maybe there is some other problem...
That first pic shows how incredibly massive that truck is. Seeing a person stand on the side of it like that helps set the right perspective.
Was your truck stuck/blocked in those first 3 pics?
That looks like terrain I should steer away from while alone in the wild.
Do you think with the...
The pic uploader is a bit primitive and I spun trying to upload my pics too. The trick is after you select the images to upload, click on the text "Upload File(s)" to invoke the action. That text is actually a button, but it doesn't look like it and it just looks like informational text.

What was it like for you to drive the terrain in El Paso aside from the thorny scrub?
In the pictures attached, I walked out to the first hill on the left and it seemed like a big truck could handle that.
Good things to know. So when you are 4byin', have an idea where the air dryer is to prevent obstacles from hitting it, do the maintenance ahead of time and use your head when out there. Thanks for that. Louisiana sounds rough!
To give more context about what I'm asking about, here are some pics...
NFW do I want to deal with busted torque rods or air lines. Are the air lines left in the open vulnerable? How are the air lines and torque rods getting damaged?
Excellent example. I hadn't thought of the firefighter scenario. The electric company (and internet/fiber) has big ass trucks in the country too, but they typically drive on rough (mostly graded) roads.
Baja ala Ford Raptor style is out of the question :D Slow and easy is the name of the game...
I have the dream to camp out in the wild in the USA. Nevada has been a top spot with the huge amounts of public land, less people and awesome views in the country. I had no idea it was this awesome. But dispersed camping has been limited to driving on roads within the country. Driving a 5-Ton...
Nice truck. I like how your wheels are huge. They fill out the wheel wells nicely.
Just started looking at the these trucks as an M934A2 alternative. I want the manual and dislike the "don't go into reverse in low-range" problem. Can't afford that mistake out in the boonies several hundred miles...
