    August 2017 Military Vehicle Vehicle of the Month

    1984 m923 Might as well add to the NH convoy guys. General McGregor was the lead in the convoy and I was the back end of the 12 truck convoy.

    M925 Voltage Fluctuation Problem, Time for an Alternator?

    Hey Piper, when I first got my truck voltage reading was showing low. In the TM there is a good instruction on adjusting the voltage. All that is needed is an Allen wrench to remove the plug and a small flat head screwdriver to turn the screw inside. Use a good volt meter to make sure you set it...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Mos68, sorry it took so long to reply but the digital meter is a volt gauge as I wanted a more accurate reading of what the system is doing. Works great. Found it on amazon for less than $10.

    Govplanet Humvee's Illinois

    The $5000 HMMWV's also have an "Off road use only" restriction. So be sure to check with the Illinois DMV to see if you can even register it for the road. Also welcome to the site from Cape Cod, MA. Used to live in Pekin.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Hey Wes, I wish they were a little lower but it was installed as per the military installation instructions and not a real easy way to modify or easily remove them. I just need to keep an eye on low tree branches.

    Hello Misfits, new guy from Tx here.

    $2500 probably do it. Oh and welcome to the site from Cape Cod, MA.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I installed a factory convoy light set on my M923. Now she is ready for the Weare, NH convoy. They look and work good. They are a little tall and they are in the stowed position! They could go up another foot or two. I know I would hit every tree branch if I put them up. I had to remove the...

    30th Annual MVMVC Weare Rally

    Hey General, Elidaclan and his HEMTT and me with my M923 are still planning on coming up on Friday. Final plans to be completed as to timing soon. I now have operating convoy lights on my truck so that should help and they look pretty cool.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Hey Ahab, I think I bought the clips at Wally World most likely in the household goods/hardware dept. There is a coating on them but painted up ok so not sure it is anything but paint.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Hey Phil, I was at the Weare rally last year. Drove my M923 up from Cape Cod with the convoy of big trucks on Friday. Plan on being there again this year. Hope to see you there.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Here is the gauge and the flashlight holder I installed. I added magnets to the car show dash plaques I have and put them in the cab in a few places.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Went to a parade with a few other guys today and during the parade the electronic light switch decided to short out, lights flashing and nothing working right. Lucky I was near the end of the route and pulled over and killed the power and disconnected the plug from the back of the switch. It was...

    Pics of members rides in their parades

    Hey BenRoberts, I started a thread titled 2017 4th of July parade photos. I didn't see your post and no one else has added to my post yet so maybe the mods can merge the two. Here are a few pictures from the parade I went to with Elidaclan and his HEMTT and Vintage Iron with his M916. Great time...
