New Guy in Dayton, OH Looking for local MV Guys

[5tonKalen]

Hey everyone. My name is Kalen Marcum and I have just recently got into military vehicles and have always been into jeeps before. My business partner and I have now purchased 8 5 tons over the last year and numerous other trailers, tires and parts. I would just like to meet up with some of the local military vehicle guys to bull**** about the trucks and to get to know local members. If there is any local meet ups near Dayton, Oh I would love to know about them.

Cheers,
Kalen

Rayzor, Oddball, phil2968, and I hang out from time to time. We meet up in Sanford, most of the time.

I think you are quite a few states South of Dayton?????

Welcome aboard. If you're in the Dayton area, you need to look up SWBradley1 and Gimpyrobb, and there are several others in that neck of the woods. But those two are probably the most infamous of the bunch

Hey there Kalen,

I'm just west of you (Eaton). I don't have a 5 ton but I have a lot of fun with my deuce. PM me and I'll send you my contact info.

Kalen- welcome to the site. I have a 932A1 here in Dayton. There are quite a few members in this gerneral vicinity. We need to come up with a planned meeting. Unfortunately, I don't have the space.

Watch out for that Gimpyrob guy........he ain't right.

We have photo evidence that he molested a marsupial during a drunken dubaunch at a gathering of similarly addicted hedonists in the backwoods of Georgia.

Likely got Dayton confused as Daytona.

Dayton membership is growing exponentially. I used to live in Dayton. I used to have 5 tons, I used to have 2 1/2 tons. Now I have grass growing where trucks departed.

Is that text talk for quitter? BWAAHHHHH

 

[5tonKalen]

Awesome guys! thanks for the warm welcome. My shop is located on Springfield St. about 3 miles from the base and about 4 miles from the GL lot. If anyone is interested we could hold a meeting at our buildings, we had a few jeep club meetings there a few years ago. We have enough parking for quite a few 5 tons and dueces...

 

[wreckerman893]

I'll be in Dayton around the end of Sept. for a writers conference.

I plan to see the museum at WPAFB and maybe meet up with any "friends in low places" in the area.

 

[5tonKalen]

awesome, I love the museum and try to make it there atleast once a year. It is sad the city of Dayton and riverside does not do nearly enough to promote it. I will PM you me number. I will also PM everyone else it also.
Cheers,
Kalen

Welcome to the site. I live on Third St and drive out Springfield St to get to GL's lot. Gimp and I have hauled a lot of stuff out of there right past you.

We might be having a little get together out here soon to pull an engine out of one of my trucks. We had a bunch out here last Thursday, trucks and people.

The fall rally will be a bit smaller than the spring one as a lot of people that go to the spring one will be going to the GA rally in October.

I am glad I am not the only one out here! I wouldn't mind looking at some of your guys' trucks occasionally. I am going to try to pick up a duece next year. Just need to find out which one the wife wants to drive...
