Plastic barrels, 30 or 55 gal cut off, are good too. Don't forget to cut hand holes for lifting (or ropes).Best thing for a catch pan is a big tub tote with rope handles. At wally world for 6$ they are like 30gal size.

That's when they're all going to get down on their knees and LICK them tires.People just love to see a big 5 ton up close. They touch the tires, and the paint and everything. I took mine to Napa yesterday and looked outside and there was a group of guys in their 50's getting their picture taken touching the tires. (And they are still '14's!) what will they do when I put 16's on it?!?!
Good thing you have a 5 ton since you have all that "stuff" packed in it.Aside from tracing down and fixing an oil leak, I wired up a 12 volt power accessory port. Tapped the 12v from the LO speed connection off the blower motor switch. (BIG KUDOS TO 74M35A2 FOR THAT TIP!!) Then wired up a mobile ham radio and some SWEET bright LED strips in the cab and in the bed. Those things make the cab as bright as an operating room inside! LOL

Did almost the same thing this weekend at the LA SS RALLY/ NO BLUE ANGELS AIR SHOW. Can you imagine 100,000+ people each day walking by and most really interested in anything military. There were kids and adults crawling all over our trucks, all day both days, I hated to tell them no more but had to several times. To many pictures to post here also.Bonding with the community.
Attended a "Touch a Truck" event, I was the only MV there, plenty of kids both big and small there enjoying the event. Local PD's and Fire were also in attendance, nice little event. Seams the kids liked the bed of my truck more than the cab. Overall a good time, canned food for donation was requested and collected then donated to local charity. Even Spiderman showed up.
Those LED's are the bomb!Aside from tracing down and fixing an oil leak, I wired up a 12 volt power accessory port. Tapped the 12v from the LO speed connection off the blower motor switch.
