Shadowdd - sorry to hear it! You are always welcome to come without your 5-ton, if that is an option. If not, I'm sure we'll see you next time.

papabear - Thank you for taking the time to post all these pictures and allowing us to share in this great event from afar!!!

Got FMV... Will travel for (ummm) good food... Is there a date/time planned?

Sounds like you have a good road trip planned for your new truck! To avoid confusion, we are meeting at the Magnolia Diner location in Montgomery, Texas located at 19784 Highway 105 (i.e., not the location on 1488 ).

Do you have any pictures? I've been thinking about a job box (or something similar) for secure storage in the back of my truck.

I take my Deuce down to Kingwood twice a year. I like taking Hwy 105 to FM 1314 to Hwy 59. We'll see you on Saturday.

Here is the picture you linked to... I'm subscribed. I recently acquired some axel clamp towbar connectors and have not yet researched how to use them correctly.

I took my truck for a 150-mile trip last weekend. With the 395's on it, I was able to cruise at 60 mph while running at 2200-2300 rpm. I used my GPS for a speedometer.

shadowdd - I'm sorry to here it. I hope all goes well with your surgery and you have a speedy recovery!! It would be great if you can make it next Saturday, but remember, your health should always come first! If you can't make this get-together, we will do more in the future.

That is awesome!! You got a new truck and an adventure that you will remember for a lifetime. How is your wife going to top that on your next anniversary? :D Really CARNAC, is that all? I'm gearing-up for a super long trip (5 miles round trip to get ice-cream)... :beer:

Howdy! It will be nice to meet you and check-out your new truck! Looks like we should have a good turn-out next Saturday (August 9). I've heard from 5 Deuce owners and now a 5-ton. See everyone next week!

I'm thinking just meet for breakfast at 0800. That may be too early for a convoy before breakfast. If it's not too hot after we eat, we can see about a convoy.

Saturday, August 9 Saturday, August 9 it is. Let's meet in Montgomery, Texas for breakfast at the Magnolia Diner at 0800 that Saturday morning. Here's a link to the Magnolia Diner's website: http://www.magnoliadiner.com Let me know who's coming (and how many are in your group), and I'll...

Right now, TAMU86 is the only one that has confirmed for August 2. I'm fine with switching weekends if more folks can make it on Saturday, August 9. I'll check with TAMU86, or let him chime-in here. Who else is up for breakfast in Montgomery, Texas on Saturday, August 9 (instead of August 2)?

Glad you made it home safely!

Sir, that is one amazing rig. You have my vote this month!

I had an Alvis Stalwart. Here is a link to my album with a few pictures: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/album.php?albumid=3223 Also, I started this thread with some more information: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?117888-My-old-Stolly

Montgomery, Texas checking-in. While I have owned several vehicles previously used in military service, I have never registered one as a Texas Former Military Vehicle (or "FMV"). I currently own a M35A2 and a M105A2. The Deuce is registered as an ordinary truck. The trailer was recently...

Wow! That park knows how to gobble-up and swallow MVs!!! helomech - Hope ya'll had a great weekend despite a flat tire on the way home!

PureMayhen, I remember meeting you last March. If I recall, I told you we try to get together once a month. Guess I proved myself to be a liar....:whistle: We'll have to catch-up when you are back in town!
