Wow, sounds like a really nice area! My situation might be 6 acres, with a river running through it/dividing it in half. Neighbors behind me though and their driveway crosses the property. The road makes a couple hairpin turns but I don't think it'll require any 3-pointers! At first, I...

LOL at your description. My situation might be similar, hopefully living down a dirt road next fall, second to last house accessed by it. Place has a circular driveway, perfect for a 5 ton!

Sweet! I'm planning on daily driving my 5 ton once I get one but if that happens it's going to have to be an -A2 model...the 4-5 MPG just won't do in my situation. (I'd settle for an A1 but wouldn't be driving it everywhere I don't think). I wonder what your neighbors think?

That's awesome, 8 hours and still 70PSI! You daily driving the old girl?

I wonder if the "under-registering" thing works in other states? It seems like a good way around some of the CDL laws that can be ridiculous for the average person.

Got any pictures of this Jeepsinkerified truck in its current state?

Congrats! Gonna be a daily driver now?

Wow, that's a really neat concept! I think I'm going to look for a M939A2 with an ISO bed. I like the versatility of such a setup.

For me, it's a cargo, dump, and expansible van...

Nice looking truck! All those M939s in the background...is this all your own personal "motorpool"?

OK, so what is an ISO? Pardon my total ignorance...

Other than being a foot longer, what's the "advantage" of the ISO bed? Does it still have the troop seats?

I wonder how rare/common the ISO bed really is? I've never seen or heard of such a thing until now. And that's one happy-looking guy behind the wheel! And 70MPH...wow! That's quite something!

Sweet looking truck! Gonna be a daily driver now?

That is a STRANGE looking truck!

When you say "green camo" are you referring to the 3-color pattern like it currently has? Or more of a "woodland" style?

Your story made me chuckle. Everyone who says I'll be unpopular doesn't really have the up-close and in-person experience with MVs that enthusiasts like us do. In my case, I wanted one because of how well they do offroad but it was a quick, slippery slope to deciding I'd have an old pre-LMTV...

I say leave her as is, maybe just a refresh of the original colors. I like the 3-color camo on the M939 series 5 tons myself. With a Deuce I'm a fan of the solid 3-83 green.

Sounds like a good score and a fun project to boot! I actually kinda like the red paint job, believe it or not. Keep us posted on how any restoration work goes!

That's the reaction I get when I tell friends I want a Deuce or 5 ton as a daily driver. "You're gonna get like 5 MPG!" "Everyone will be flipping you off on the freeway!" etc. I personally enjoy them laughing at me, since I can imagine I'll have the last laugh later when my truck can do...
