Hey Guys, Just a quick note, there is a new thread posted with adaptor plates for sale for $750 a set of 6. In case you haven't found the thread, it's located here...

Yes Sir, she does. Plus she came with a hydraulic fluid reservoir and drive shaft/controls for a winch, but the winch is not there. I thought about removing the hydraulic reservoir and drive shaft, along with the controls in the cab. I haven't made up my mind yet on the reservoir, but I'm...

In September, 2012, I purchased my first ever Military Vehicle, an M923 5-Ton. I had NO IDEA what I was getting myself into. Luckily I met up with a great group of guys at the MVCC of North Texas! They are a great group of guys! Since making the purchase, I've read the TM's and downloaded...

Looking awesome, can't wait to see more pics! Subscribed!

You have to log into your GL account. Then on the left side of the screen, there is a colum of options. Scroll down to "Forms" and click on it. It will open up a page that has a list of "eforms" and "forms". Under the "eforms" list, you should see "Request for SF97". Click on the link and...

We've got it on the calendar and are planning to be there. Can't wait to take the 5-Ton on it's first "Road Trip"! Looking forward to meeting everyone and having a great time! Hopefully the weather will be perfect for the event. There are several of us from the Military Vehicle Collector...

If you ever get the itch to drive a few hours, the Military Vehicle Collector Club of North Texas holds meetings every month in the Fort Worth / Keller area. The meetings are on a Saturday and usually start in the morning, around 10. I know there are several guys down in the San Antonio area...

Being pretty new to the green asylum, I too have never attended a rally. Please post more info as it develops, I'd love to attend. Combatmech, maybe we can get some other guys from MVCC to attend and convoy to the rally as a group. I'm IN!!!! :beer:

M35 Mayhem, First let me WELCOME you to the green affliction! :cookoo::cookoo::cookoo: This topic has been discussed several times on this website, but to simplify it a little, I'll say this: Texas DMV has created a license plate especially for former military vehicles. The license plate...

Welcome and Congrats! I joined the website about 4 months ago, and like you, won an M923 in an auction from GL. I joined a military vehicle collectors club here in the Fort Worth area. I'm sure there are similar clubs within close proximity to your house. I would suggest joining one...

Welcome to the madness! :cookoo: You've found the best place to research, and learn about the green steel! Good luck with your search! Keith

Are you sure it's not a relative in Cobb County Jail looking for some bail money? :profl:p

You guys are right, The "CDL" is not needed, just the Class A or Class B. My first post has the exact laws listed in it. The second post was an error when I added the "CDL" term to it, but the info is accurate. As I said, the posts contain the laws as they are written in the Texas...

Alignv3d, That is one of the nicest trucks I've seen. I love the dark camo paint job. Very well done sir! What type of paint did you use?

Started Painting the "Green Beast" I bought my M923 - 5 Ton six weeks ago. I purchased it from GL and have had VERY good luck with it. I've done a few minor repairs to it, including installing 4 batteries and an air valve, and adding fluids, and lubing up the chasis. Three weeks ago, I...

GHall, Hate to disagree with you, but if you google Texas Transportation Code 521.081, 521.082, and 521,083 you'll see that personal use is NO WHERE in the statute.... PERIOD. The license you need is directly related to the GVWR of the vehicle you're driving - regardless of why you're...

One more thing I forgot to mention, there isn't really an "Air Brake Endorcement", but there is a "Restriction - No Air Brakes" that can be put on your CDL if you choose to not take the air brakes portion of the test for some reason, so you do have to study for and pass the air brake portion of...

Hey rahl07, This was covered in a thread previously: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-up/96545-cdl-required-drive-5-ton.html but it's kinda hidden, so, I'll repost what is on that thread. Since the thread is here, I thought I'd list the TEXAS requirements in the thread for anyone from the...

Taurus454, I feel your pain, sort of...... I'm going through a similar issue here in Fort Worth, only it's not a home owner's association, but the city I'm dealing with. I chose my house in a neighborhood without a home owner's association. My story started in late September, when I...

Update: I got the valve in from smittyjr355 yesterday. Installed the valve today and fired the Green Beast up. Both air tanks went to 125 psi and held. I then lubed up the chasis and all the steering components. The power steering is working great now. I backed the Beast up and pulled...
