    Choosing a 5-ton truck

    Check out his house truck. Ignore the outside at the end, and the inside is something close to what the M932A2 could have, minus the 18' and unexpanded. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-zI_Eu--rg

    Choosing a 5-ton truck

    The 8.3 Cummins is what I have down as the first engine pic. I head here its most modern and reliable/maintenance free engine in retired MV's. The engine power and reliability is my biggest priority. In-cab comfort is last since in this case its about the destination, not the journey. The less I...

    Choosing a 5-ton truck

    I've been reading two people are required to expand the shop. Is it doable for one man that is 6' 3" and 240 lbs to expand it? I saw you muscle that big ass tire in your video and that had me wondering if you are able to expand the shop by yourself?

    Choosing a 5-ton truck

    Nice rig. That is a tall workshop and even taller mounted on the truck. Even when parked and a weather front is coming through (high wind), there is a lot of surface area on the workshop for the wind to push on. I was thinking about mounting some hydraulic arms on the sides. Then when parked...

    Choosing a 5-ton truck

Been thinking about a high ground clearance military trailer to hold a generator, a big ass fuel tank and a big ass water tank (insulated) and some type of heating blanket...

    Choosing a 5-ton truck

    I haven't seen the M109A3 shop van until now. It looks mean. The 5 speed manual is what I wanted to crawl on some of these roads and have good control of speed. Plus I think I could save on brakes driving down-hill with a stick. The rounded corners of the van compartment looks sharp. The whole...

    Choosing a 5-ton truck

    The plumbing is a hard one. The idea now is just to use the outdoors since I'm in private. Maybe a hunter once in a couple weeks. However, this truck will allow me to be in the snow so you make a good point that I need to think about. I may need to devise something for the bathroom since digging...

    Choosing a 5-ton truck

    As a Nomad, I'm looking to upgrade my vehicle to a military grade truck and I'm looking for help choosing a vehicle. The 5-ton trucks are what looks attractive, specifically the M934A2 because it has the workshop. The wind can get pretty strong. It hit 80 MPH near Lake Isabella, CA. In Nevada...
