    Can a deuce be driven as a front wheel drive?

    Q's on Towing a loading capabilitys of the deuces

    I know its probably not the the best idea, more of a fun one. I know the hot tub idea might not pan out. That's why I'm asking for opinions before i do something stupid. My 5k lbs estimate is the tub and custom bed together after removing the stock bed. As for he water sloshing around, I...

    I'm about a month or 2 of from picking up a M35a2 for a completely unnecessary project, I have been toying with, for a year or so now. I have some Q's on the capability's of them from people that have real world experience with them. I'm planning to use if for a tow rig for my toy hauler...
