    M923 or Deuce?

    I have to say I would go with a 923A2. I just got one and LOVE it. I have a M52A2 which is basically the same size as a deuce but has a little more power and power steering and enjoyed learning about MV's with it. One problem I am having right now is parking. With my M52 being basically the...

    Code violation notice for parking in my driveway

    There is an exemption in the city of El Paso for RV's. There is a way around my problem with my truck, but I would have to swap out the bed for an expansable van, put in a bed and bathroom and reregister it as an RV. Then regardless of weight I could have it in my driveway. I don't...

    Code violation notice for parking in my driveway

    Hopefully it will all work out. If I had enough room at the house I would just build a garage big enough and park it in there that way it isn't seen and problem would be solved. Since I don't have that option though I will do my best to work it through the code enforcement office and if...

    Thanks to the replies on another thread (before I started this one) and some advice as to how to proceed.

    Code violation notice for parking in my driveway

    So this thread may be a duplicate from before but it is to hopefully help others with a similar situation in the future. Regardless of outcome I will keep this thread updated and let everyone know what happens. So this morning I woke up to a code violation notice on my front door...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Now that's just plain crazy and stupid in my opinion. Just my 2cents.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I will certainly ask him when I speak with him tomorrow. I never thought about that aspect of it being special interest vehicle. I am certainly trying to keep him on my side and work with him as much as possible. He seemed real at ease talking with me when the first thing I told him was I am...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I definitly will keep you posted. Hopefully I will know more tomorrow. I have read where others here have had the same problem. If there is no way around it I have somewhere I can park them, it just won't be as easy to get them as it would be if they are at my house. Hopefully things will...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    This one isn't what I have done, but what I might have to do. I woke up today and had a code violation notice on my front door. Notice says the following: 20.08.010 Uses permitted per district. Heavy trucks and equipment are not permitted to be parked or stored in a residential district...

    M923A2 Aquisition

    Now for the next adventure with the truck. I woke up this morning and had a code violation on my front door. Violation reads as follows: 20.08.010 Uses permitted per district heavy trucks and equipment are not permitted to be parked or stored in a residential district. Must remove within 10...

    M923A2 Aquisition

    Well, I got the turn signal issue fixed. Turns out it was just a loose connection to the flasher relay. Tightened the connector a couple turns and everything works again.

    M923A2 Aquisition

    Yeah. Lol. I had this happen to me before and the only way I was able to fix it was replace all the components. Granted it was an older truck so there wasnt a whole lot in between the components. I'm hoping this time it's just a loose connection or something. I didn't really get a chance to...

    M923A2 Aquisition

    Well, the story of my life with MV's lol. I was out for a drive and the turn signals quit working on me. Was out driving for abut 30 minutes and a little over half way I went to turn and the light on the turn signal switch wouldn't flash, it lit up but didn't flash. I got it to the house and...

    Sounds good. I can't think of anything else really.

    M923A2 Aquisition

    So this afternoon I knocked off two of the many things I want to do with my truck. I purchased a couple of lockable tool boxes for the bed and I swapped out the standard headlights for LED's. Still a bunch of stuff left I want to do but just take it a little at a time and everything will work out.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Purchased a couple lockable tool boxes for the bed that don't interfere with the troop seats and swapped out my regular headlights to LED.

    Here is the way my batteries are set up and the size. Works great and no loss of electrical power.

    That does sound like a very nice idea.

    M923A2 Aquisition

    I will take a pic of my batteries tomorrow when there is some sun to see them. From what I have read on here there isn't much drawback of only 2 batteries. From the research I have done the main thing is to be sure to get two with plenty of cold cranking amps.

    M923A2 Aquisition

    Very nice and clean install. Makes you wonder what else some people throw away that maybe just has a small amount of fixable rust.
