Hello from middle TN

[veeburg]

First time MV owner here. M931A2 is shipping from CA next week.

Threads I will be chasing-
What bed will fit ? Cut down a Troop bed or something easier.
Owner says it has night vision, Guess I'll start pushing buttons and figure it out.

Welcome from TN.

As for "Night Vision", I'm guessing their talking about the blackout lights. Right above your driver's side headlight is a Black Out Drive Light. This is a light that emits a very low visibility light for driving in dark conditions. To the naked eye it is just visible when very dark out, but if the drive is wearing Night Vision, then the light looks just as bright as a headlight. There are also Black Out parking lights and stop lights on the front and rear. If you turn them on and cup your hand over them you can see them when they are on.

Welcome from Wild Wonderful West Virginia!!! I have a 5 ton..... M925a2 boy are they fun to drive. You have to get used to something BIG that takes a while to stop. As far as a bed you may need to get out a tape measure and see how much bed you need. Research pictures of similar trucks with different bed styles. I know bobber truck can look good or stupid in how they put on a bed. Shop around for ideas and then buy/build/cut down/modify your bed. I believe fold down side beds are a little bit handier to load from the end and sides. Good Luck, post pictures, and have fun. Mark

Welcome to Steel Soldiers. I have a 932A1 with a really short 5 ton dropside bed. Seems to be a very popular mod.

Welcome from Franklin, KY. Curious to see the feedback you get on the bed. Something I'm considering.

We're you at the airport today? If so I must have missed you.
