What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

[simp5782]

Hey, simp5782, that sure is a nice little "tap stick" you're carrying on the front of your rig.

That is a nice looking paint job. HPLV sprayer?

AI had to move my S250 shelter from my M 200 trailer over to my M989A1 trailer. I have a parade on Wednesday. Then we will be going down to Knob Creek for the October Shoot.

Used it to pick up Paver stones, gravel base, sand, mulch, lumber and other material for my sons Eagle Scout Project. Went well. Great weather and looks awesome.

Picked up some buffalo boxes and lights from a donkey down in georgia. Moved my headlights out in prep for my grille modification. Added my old puradyn bypass system onto the truck. The BCIII has a bypass filter but i believe the centrifuge will do better and the heater on it will help evaporate other things

[simp5782]

Pfft. Your truck will be parked till you hit the powerball the first time that kitty cat breaks

Thank you. I use an airless sprayer that pumps directly from the 5 gallon bucket. I've honed the right spray pressure just right.

How did you set yours up to keep a reasonable flow? The lowest setting on mine is almost too much. You really have to plan out your spray pattern to keep from getting drips. It’s almost impossible to do a camo pattern with mine.

My sprayer is set below the prime pressure setting, it's almost on "roller". As for the camo pattern do an outline by hand with the brown then go back to fill in. Repeat with the black in case of any miscalculations.

 

[Buffalobwana]

I should have tried that.

As for the camo, I just follow the old pattern. It was the amount of paint that was coming out that made it very difficult to do the tight turns without drips.

Ill try the roller setting next.

For doing one color, airless is the way to go. So fast!

New batteries and disconnect switch.
Forklifts are a wonderful thing!

Actually *got* one this past weekend, and drove it from Springfield MO, to the Eastern part of KY. All on Sunday, about 12 hrs.
(Yeah, it fits in the yard..... *barely*) Thanks, Matt!

 

[71DeuceAK]

Gorgeous 813!

 

[US6x4]

Ditto! That truck looks mean and looks like a lot of fun - congrats

 

[77 AMG]

Thanks for the compliments! It was a long drive back home, but, 600 miles at 70mph goes by at a decent pace, at least until you hit hills. Looks like it is turbo time! Oh, the looks it got while shuffling down the road... mostly "wait, what just happened?" when I would ease past other vehicles. I have some things to fix and some to replace (rear pinion seal) but, that is just part of it, right? Now, my Deuce wont be feeling lonely anymore!

And with a winch, too, nice score 77 AMG.

Se's a "Beaut"!

 

[77 AMG]

Thanks, Ahab. The winch is functional, but, a little bit cranky to use as the PTO shaft has a slight curve in it, due to a mishap somewhere back in the past. I really need to pull the cable and oil it, as it looks pretty dry.
