New member / m923 owner from Salt Lake City

[skibum]

Hi All,

I've been fascinated with the idea of owning a MV 6x6 for quite a while and finally pulled the trigger yesterday. I bought a 1991 BMY M923A2 for what I feel to be a pretty decent price at auction from Hill AFB which is about an hour from my house. Payment has been made and I am hoping to pick it up tomorrow. The paint needs a refreshing (thinking of white camo) and I'd like to get the cargo cover within the next few months but they look kinda spendy. I live in a small neighborhood and will be getting an RV storage unit for the truck.

I look forward to learning & gathering.

Peter

Cool! (A hard top even)

I'm north of ya in Kaysville. I thought I saw a few months ago member MtnSnow (who's in North Salt Lake - EDIT: I stand corrected by Gunzy below) was selling a couple used 5-ton cargo covers , but maybe he sold them as I no longer see his thread.

Welcome, welcome! I know less about those newer 5 Tons (2.5 ton own here), but let me know if I can help ya. You may consider joining the Utah Military Vehicle Club (link in my signature).

Welcome, I am in Roy. The truck you bought is actually out by the Weber Co. Fair Grounds. I got the M925A1 that is on Hill. They are fun. You need to join us in June at the "Sounds of Freedom" car show in Layton. We have at least 3 trucks lined up for it. I was the one who was selling the used covers and they are gone now. You can check with Boyce equipment in Ogden as he usually has several for sale.

Nice truck! Welcome to the world of green vehicles from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. A friend of mine pulled my Deuce home for me with his 5-ton. Awesome truck.

Welcome from lake Charles La.It is a blast is it not.On Sundays we drive the M35a2w/w and m109 box on a m35a2 frame mated with a 105 to hook to my Truck.We go downtown to local Civic Center on the lake eat a hot dog answer a lot of stupid questions and that is cool,Lord knows I asked of enough of them before I bought my rig.t One of the best things is when a young parent walks up to me and ask me if I would take a pic of there kids next to my rig.I will say no I am very animate about this I will say jump on or jump in I will take your pic of your family.Al

Welcome from Florida. Nice looking first new truck!

 

[Gunzy]

skibum, if that is the truck I'm thinking of there may be a cargo cover laying in the back of it.This is a pic from you auction listing.

More free stuff, you have to love it when the soldiers give you free stuff with every truck purchase. Hopefully it is still in there when you go to pick up the truck!

Good eye Gunzy - yes, that is my rust bucket.

Nothing a little elbow grease and paint can't fix.
