What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

[MyothersanM1]

I couldn't wait to post here today. I got a lot done today (03-03-13).

-Installed an M939(A0) spare tire davit http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?103944-M939-spare-tire-davit-on-M818


-New front axle bumpers

-And new 24" X 30" mud flaps.

Used some "Dark Green" Self Etching Primer to try to cover the GL markings on the front bumper. A couple light coats may have worked, time will tell, might have to use the ole wire wheel this weekend.

Nice job MyothersanM1, I have always liked the profile of the 800 series. Turbo may I ask just what was the name of the self etching primer you used was? I have seen a few but not in the green .

Its RustOleum Automotive Self Etching Primer. I picked it up at Home Depot for around $6.

Thank you my friend I will keep an eye out for it here. It would make the top coat cover so much faster.......

Drove it off a flat bed, then ran a few laps around the grainery and then across the street and down the ally to the driveway. Then I washed 580 miles of road dirt and salt off it. Stryker

Got some rain and snow on the paint and luckly it didn't wash off. Not quite the right color, but close.

Well, this weekend (03-09-13) I purged and refilled the power steering system with hydraulic oil, installed an in-line fuse on my previously installed reverse alarm/light, and started the wiring for my forthcoming armor dome-light. Amazing what you can get done when your truck is at home and not incarcerated at the storage lot.

Ordered most of my LED lights for the truck all that is left is headlights and off road lights and i have found good prices on both just got a save a little more to save on shipping and then all i need to do is install them.

I got it a little stuck. Tried to winch it back to no avail so i walked off and left it. Flew to los angeles the next morn. See what i can do when i get back..

 

[Stein12501]

[Welder Sam]

[insanejecke]

[Derrickl112]

[Welder Sam]

[Welder Sam]

I have been working on other projects and not finishing up
on this project that came out over the top nice. I have to get
some quotes on cutting these puppies. It would be cheaper
if others were interested... Fear not, eventually I will get
around to it. I have one set ready to ship but I have to get
replacement pricing first. Plus I want to do the drivers side
of mine ! HA! these things are tough as nails and look OE.

PM is best way for all who are interested...
