Northern UT chapter

[Alexsha]

So I'm the proud owner of a 1990 M923A2 and I'm wondering who else in the area/state owns MVs and if there are any get togethers. I know there's the UMVC (Utah Military Vehicle Club), but most of their events seem to be south of Salt Lake City. I live up in Cache Valley. Any northern Utah MV owners? Southern Idaho?

 

[Gunzy]

I have an M923, M105A2 and a M1101. I'm in Roy by Hill AFB. I know 3 others in the Ogden area and one in NSL as well as Boyce Equip. and Plan B Surplus. I have taken my truck to some local car shows and it will be going to Peach Days in Brigham. Does that help any?

 

[MtnSnow]

I'm the one in NSL.. I too have done a couple of the local car shows in the Ogden, Layton, Farmington & Bountiful area Feel free to come on down as I usually head UP to the Ogden area more often so I can hang around with Gunzy

 

[Alexsha]

What's Peach days? And I wouldn't mind brigham or Ogden meetups at all.

 

[Gunzy]

Peach Days is Brigham Cities annual celebration. They have a very large car show (1200 entries last year) with it. It is Sept. 6 and you can find information by googling it. You can also find car show at Thanks2Frank.com they list a calendar as will as links for car shows all over N.Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming.

Hi, from a Western Coloradan (at heart). I grew up around Grand Junction and spent a good bit of time between Salt Lake City and G. Jct. My plans keep getting side tracked, like blown transmission and GL screwing up my SF-97, so I haven’t gotten over that way like I had planned. I should have my truck on the road in 3 to 4 weeks.

Come peach season, (soon) we might take my M923A1 over that way to pick up a load. It might be nice to see some of you guys then. The Colorado National Monument near the Utah/Colorado border, what we used to call the Laplands (where Utah laps into Colorado) just off of I-70 is a great place to hike, camp and drive.

' Love to see you guys sometime,
Arlyn

Posting up. Living in Lehi until at least next summer. M35a2 is currently my only MV, saving up for a M816 that Zane is selling.

 

[Alexsha]

What are your plans next summer? You should move to Cache Valley. I need some MV buddies up here.

Nothing set in stone for me yet. Wanting to find a mechanic job with a weekly rotation schedule (2 weeks on, 1 off like how the oilfield is) which leaves options open to do stuff haha.

On the side I'd like to start hauling some surplus stuff for some extra money.

 

[Valence]

Hmm, I never saw or replied to this thread....

Maybe you shouldn't have moved months after we met!

My gut feeling is that you'll be unlikely to find that rotating schedule at a mechanics shop (but what do I know? lol). If you do think of Cache Valley, I recommend checking out Moonlight Diesel. They're the most respected (and growing) diesel mechanics in that valley.

If looking in the NSL/WoodsCross area check into LW Miller as their shops are always busy (and is where I get my trucks inspected and purchase some repair parts such as airlines & fittings) but they also have shops in Logan & Tremonton

Yea most places don't do that type of schedule sadly.

I'll be sending out applications, thanks for the help guys. Currently working, just looking for something better.

Gonna be a busy week at Valence's place!

Not to turn this into an advertising thread, but are you folks associated with the Freedom Festival? I know at least one fellow in the Utah Military Vehicle Club that's heavily involved in that.

Or are you working to become more like BigTuffTrucks, PlanBSupply, or Boyce Equipment?

 

[wadefreedomvehicles]

We are somewhat associated with the freedom festival. We are not in it to become like Tuff Trucks and them. If you go to:
http://www.freedomvehicles.org/
You can see more of what we are about. The page hasn't been updated for a while. But it still tells what we are about. We did a big event on the 2-4 of July at Scera with the Colonial Fest and them. Gail Halvorsen flew over and dropped candy. It was good.

Hello and welcome fellow Utahn

I totally know the 1/2 track "old lady" aka "Kilroy was here" as it has been to several events I have attended and it was in Wendover this past weekend with a few other members of U.M.V.C (Utah Military Vehicle Club) that I know a handfull of Steel Soldiers members are members of it. (such as Valence and myself)

Keep us informed of your events as I would be willing to put forth the effort to attend as scheduling allows!

 

[wadefreedomvehicles]

Definitely will keep all informed. Part of the reason I am on this site is to meet new people.

If y'all need a diesel mechanic let me know
