Thank you sir for that detailed report. Even though it would be pretty cool to see the display trucks, it looks like I should stay home and get some work done around the house. You just saved me from a 4 hour roundtrip disappointment. . . . Yea, maybe next year. Jeff

Thanks for the info. Seems like its worth the trip to take a look. I know what you mean - I'm the same way about "glossing over" the stuff that fits somebody else's truck :) . . . Although, I would bet that there are a couple of guys here that could identify just about any part you could...

I saw the ad in MVM and was considering going, but have so much work to do at home. Sunday would be my only option. :?: Have you been there? Are there alot of 5-ton parts for sale? It is about a 2 hour drive for me, but it would be worth it if I could pick up some missing truck pieces. Jeff

I've been reluctant to commit because I didn't know if I was going to have the truck ready or not. . . . well, as LH7 stated, it is time to get off the fence. Regrettably, I am going to have to volunteer as an emergency contact/gopher only. I was hoping to do some trail riding in the 5-ton...

Well, . . . seeing that we migrated off topic of Monster garage long ago, . . . .I noticed that the science channel is now airing Junkyard Wars reruns (scrapheap challenge in the UK) twice each week day!!!! - noon and 6 pm EDST.(US) Today's show is on minesweepers. The mulewrights team...

HRD, Are you kidding, . . . $385 !!!!! :shocked: for a complete wrecker??? I hope you can sleep at night, . . . 'cause you stole that thing! Please don't part it out, somebody should buy it whole. Deuceman51, Did you ever get that 5-ton wrecker you were looking at awhile back? You...

I apologize in advance, I don't want to take the discussion off topic. However, I wanted to steer Rattlehead to a discussion about a possible air shift conversion? to the older 5-tons. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/DotNetForum/default.aspx?f=68&m=16655 and...

Recovry4x4, Looks like Todd has sold the mule.

Guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Junkyard Wars is indeed no longer in production. :cry: I was fortunate enough to get on the show twice. I was there for the last show - The Great Race. (2004) http://tlc.discovery.com/fansites/junkyard/episode/greatrace.html and Combat...

Hey neighbor, that's a good looking jeep. Any pictures of the mule? Jeff

Love those pictures of the deuces climbing the firewood. I am literally less than 15 minutes from the gravelrama site. I finally made it there to watch for the first time last year- but I went on the last day, and things were kinda' winding down by then. Still had alot of fun. Insanely Big...

For those of you who are decorating your 5-tons, I found this "handy" chart for bridge plates. ("handy" - that is, if you are like me and don't like doing the math):banghead: Courtesy of the TM 9-2320-211-10-1 (page 1-3):

I have also heard this rumor about the reputed fuel-efficient Zenith carb, but I can't remember where I heard it. I do know that Saturn Surplus has the Zenith for $125. Look on this page: http://www.saturnsurplus.com/m35/m35-2.htm I just bought one. Nice people and fast shipping. (It is...

Thanks Jason, I just noticed that the link I sent in the last post lists over 100 coils. I meant to show the link that narrows the list to only four. Sorry. I think I am going to get a 1.5 ohm coil and give it a try. I appreciate the info.[thumbzup] Thanks, Jeff. I think this should show...

I have looked at about a half-a-dozen 5-ton wreckers over the past two years, and I have seen prices from $5500 to $18000. All of those were the multifuel engines, which seem to be more popular and desirable. The gas engine has a pretty decent torque rating, but it gets a low score for fuel...
