Good eye. Those are indeed Land Rover mag wheels on adapter plates. Mark has also fationed the AC system for it.

I would love to just go play in a Deuce off road anywhere. I know that in my future there will be a Deuce or 5T.


For the record my Pinz is the one with the hard top and roof racks and that would be my son in the videos, he should be real interesting when he has his M37 going.

Really cool videos! I have had my pinz for about 6-7 months now and love it.
I have a tech question if you could contact me off list.

I started with 1" sq tubing attached to the same location as the soft top and use three 3/4" sq tubing bows for each section. The corners are reinforced with 16ga metal and covered with 040 aluminum. There is 3/4" insulation and the inside is 030 aluminum. I bent the bows to match the original shape. The cover works well ot keep everything dry and a whole lot cooler than the canvas. I used RV C-rail to attach the lower sections of canvas. The canvas I made by combining two 710 tops, that is why there is three windows. The extra window allows more light in the back with the sides down and makes it more enjoyable for passengers. The top has allowed me to install the Yakima rack. I also built a carrier for the door tops which I carry on the roof as well.
