Waitaminnit... Our hoods OPEN?!?!?!?!? Kidding... I've found it easier to use the grab handle as opposed to the bracing rod to open the hood. Of course this depends on your height. (I'm 6'1") and weight (I'm 240) I get pretty close, grab the handle and use my other hand on the bumper to...

Also, in regards to the Corporal.... he and I stayed in touch and friends over the years and he retired a couple years ago as a Sergeant Major. It was with him I first rode in a 5 ton and he encouraged me to get my "A" drivers card. I was SO bummed when I found out that wasn't a thing.. He's...

That was actually a pic I found on the 'net and posted to bring a little humor into the threads... I figured everyone needed a laugh lately... 😁

Very much so referring to the Gunny.... 😅🤣😁 When I relayed the message, the Gunny told me "Who told you that? Go back and tell them to come get it themselves" The response when I passed THAT message was a dejected "oh sh😳t"... 🤣😁😅

It was more of a need to be complete. Hadn't even thought about using it... 😅🤣😁

Ok... after some more digging (including a few threads form here).... I probably don't need an honest to God milspec radio.... nice daydream though. Cost prohibitive and just looking at the ancillary gear to get it tuned and runnjng... 😳😳😳😳

Ok... looking at a notable auction site... I'm not seeing any 524s for sale. Plenty of parts... but no radio...

All- On a whim, I bought an antenna for my M923A2 5 ton, mounted it on the fender and LOVE the way it looks... However.... Now I feel I need a radio...... Any ideas on what I need and where to start? BTW, please talk to me about these like I have zero idea what you're talking about...

Welcome to the site! Enjoy the MV, download the TMs and feel free to catch a horrible case of green fever!

Welcome to the site. Your best bet is to start an intro thread for yourself and also a thread in the generator section. That way your question isn't lost in the noise.... We also have a TM section to guide you (although very dry reading) and plenty of folks here willing to give a hand.

So many great jokes in there... rereading them now! 😁😅🤣

Heh... I happen to know where one is....

"Rough" is a very subjective term. We all tend to look past the "rough" to find the diamond underneath.... when I bought my 5 ton, it was a stretch to even call her "rough".... A good bath did wonders And as time/money/energy permitted, I cleaned her up and painted. And the end of the...

Still room for 2 more!

Heh... I have a 1984 FXST and when asked how often I change the oil, I explain I don't. I change the filter every 5,000 miles... 🤣😅😁

I'll work on that for you bud...

Not a Behr job, it's Sherwin Williams exterior matte, but I've had great luck with the paint job I put on my 5 ton. As far as weathering, everything has done great in the 3 months since painting and I've even pressure washed it and used the soapy brush on it... The only touch ups I've had to do...
