Just found this site and I want a 5 ton so much more!!! I recently sold a MB/CJ2 mix to start my funding for my next "need" as I put it (wife says it is a serious want). I hope to be riding around this time next year. Until then I will soak up as much knowledge as I can.

Thanks
Mike Campbell

Welcome Mike to the madness!

Keep your eyes on Fort Polk GL as they constantly have trucks out of the location and you are relatively close :) well, closer than me. ;-)

TimNtrucks has a rally at his house in Ponchatoula the last weekend in April. No mv required. Come out and meet some of the folks. Check out Tim's thread.

Thanks everyone.

Juanprado, I will have to do that. I would really like to look over some 5tons and meet some local guys. If possible I would like to ride in one to hear the noise and get a feel for it. By the way, my dad lived in metaire as a child on Nursery off of Canal.

You are welcome to check mine out & ride anytime you are in my neck of the woods. Know exactly where you Dad lived :)
I have a nhc250 m923, Tim has a m923a2 with the n14 turbo. Plenty of others will have their mv at the rally.

Looking forward to meeting down the road.

Welcome aboard! Hope to see you at the LA Rally. I've got a mix of 5-tons if you want to check them out.

Tim, I do plan on being at the rally and meeting a lot of people and asking a lot of questions.

Trailboss, Sounds great. I am not sure about all the different models so I would like to see as many as I can. I do know that I want one with a canvas top on the back with bench seats as I would eventually like to drive it in some local festival parades.

Just click on my name to send a PM and we'll set up a nice DRY day to chase the horses out of the way and crank some up.
:driver:
It'll only take about 10 min to tell you all I know as I'm still learning something new everyday. I'm about 45 min north of the BR airport.
