Good looking truck, congrats! Yeah, the upshift isn't so bad, hardly noticeable except for changing RPMs but that 3-2 downshift will shake your teeth out at every freeway off ramp or STOP sign, from what I've experienced riding shotgun in one. Despite the loud, rough ride, they are still...

This on your 925, 98G?

I've also heard of people putting the bed of a 923/925/etc on spacers to alleviate this, i.e it sits higher on top of the frame. I think with mine I may be acquiring I'd probably try another 2" thick piece of hardwood on top of the existing piece. I'm planning on taking mine off-road often so...

Do keep us posted on the road trip stories bringing it home. :)

Congragulations!

You did get the one good runner, Carman?

These trucks really belong out in the open, the suburban strip mall sprawl is not their thing. I can't wait to hit the trails in mine- after all that's what they were designed for.

Beautiful! Love seeing all the pix from the drivers' seat of these.

Great thread! I already saw this on the M939 Facebook group (I'm actually 'friends' with you on there) but this definitely gave me an idea for if I have to do this on a M923 I have a line on...I shouldn't, but this could be adaptable to other models/trucks as well.

I would definitely try to register it for on-road use, so that you don't have any issues later with NOT being able to register it, or it being hard to re-sell someday because it doesn't have a title/plates. While I can definitely imagine using one of these off-road only, as either an offroad...

Nah, I just remember seeing one or two for like 2000 bucks, congrats! You in HI or having it shipped back to the mainland? For that price if I was in HI I'd have bid. I'd love a M936A1. I'd drive it everywhere.

Ha! When I have mine out on the road one of these days I fully hope to help spread 5 ton awareness, I'm sure I'll have lots of people through the passenger seat.

What do the school officials think of a big camo truck pulling up, do they freak out and initiate a lockdown?

Was this the one in Hawaii?

Good luck, Carman! Are the 5 tons also M939 series?

Welcome, CARMAN! I can sympathize with your feeling of terrified euphoria, I have a verbal agreement on a M923. They really are a living thing, even with a gender, many people name them. They have personality many other vehicles lack, it's like man's second best friend besides the...

Welcome to the site! I know where a M51 is I might have a line on, but nothing has happened yet, and it's in a little better shape than yours but still needs love, and has a few obvious civillian hack jobs to boot...

I second that, Wes has even helped me greatly through PM with trying to coordinate auction pickups and the like. Great guy!

Welcome to the site, first of all, Russ Knight, and the hobby! I second what Russ said concerning the wonderful people in this hobby. I have met several members in person, all great people who I can now consider my friends. The MV hobby is full of some of the greatest, nicest people you can...

Gorgeous 929, I've always wanted a 929. Short wheel base if nothing else.
