All good thoughts! Weatherstripping around windows/windshields? (except maybe driver's side window in case it needs to be rolled down quickly) -extra insulation could be done in the hard top easily...that pink or blue foam stuff.

I was thinking "Supplies" on board for sure. A decent selection of necessary tools is going to be essential, along with stuff like oil "Diaper" rags, etc. Knowing my intentions, friends (Who are familiar with Deuces and M809 series 5 tons and 939 series 5 tons) started gifting me with all...

I guess in the end it really depends on the cost of maintenance...and what you're willing to live with (Or without!).

Sweet setup! Seeing the block heater, is this one a daily driver?

In your M939 that is? That's what I'm thinking of doung...

Yeah, I've thought of that already. But that's what makes it unique!

Inspired by the "Deuce as a Daily Driver" thread, how many members drive their 939 series 5 ton every day, more or less everywhere they go? I'm considering getting one myself and daily-driving it. Just wondering what the numbers are for everyone else who does? I'm thinking it'll be unique...

I guess I'm not the only crazy one. I've considered owning a Deuce, as my first vehicle, and daily-driving it. Either that or a 939 series 5 ton. In the winter. In Alaska. Commuting between Fairbanks and Delta Junction.

Ouch! That's too bad. I hope you get better soon! What's a 1911? (Pardon my ignorance)

I hate flying. I'd rather drive cross-country in a Deuce or 5 ton any day LOL...

Great! I plan on installing a stereo in my 5T when/if I get one...

@SLOrazorsedge, Yeah, I lived up above the high school, on Linda Vista Ave. Nowadays, Delta Junction is like 900 people I think, but the house I might live in is on the north outskirts of town, out Tanana Loop Rd. I might be back in Atascadero for a week or so in June, want to meet up? PM...

Oh wow! That's great! Where in Atascadero, if you don't mind me asking (feel free to PM me if you don't want to mention that in public forum). Oh wow! I'm moving to Fairbanks in August to go to college. Might be living in a house in Delta Junction...and having a Deuce as my daily driver...

I grew up in Atascadero and plan to move back in a few years. What vehicles ya got?

I thought an (empty) 5 ton was like 22,000? Anyone successfully swap the engine in an M923? If so with what?

Or both, then you have a good cross-reference...some older stuff might be omitted on newer ones?

That probably only works with an -A1 at this point...(historic) Will they still let you have it as a daily driver/errand runner? I'd like to do that, and my own work/hauling...it'd be my workhorse too. But worst case I'd go historic and just take it for Sunday drives, joyrides, etc. Does yours...

I like how well-written the TMs are, in PROPER ENGLISH! (not Google translated from someone who writes GREAT in Chinese but not English! I enjoy reading them!

That's what I was hoping to hear! Great news!

Maybe get one, park it for a few years, then register it as historic? I wonder about the same thing: M923A2 as a daily driver in California? (Planning to move back to CA eventually). But maybe you can get it registered as non-comm since it's a personal daily driver? Or how would an engine...
