    N00B reporting in from Afghanistan ( hometown Buffalo,NY)

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! bratpackdad- BAF is dump. It's like an over crowded ghetto that they are trying to make into something special. I've spent a total of 7 days there this year and hated it. Chief_919- My plan was to go warrant after this year but have been selected for an...

    Bobbed Deuce - Load Tested

    Ive been looking at deuces as a means to transport my jeep/ gear around to offroad parks and stuff like that. I figured i'd need one of the XLWB trucks and just park it on the back. If i could find a trailer like that i'd much rather get a bobbed deuce and trailer my junk around. It'd make...

    overdrive gears available soon

    FIrst off thanks for the dedication to a great idea! I've been on the fence about buying a deuce as my jeep hauler. My big set back was the 55mph max that the truck has in stock form. After reading the last 13 pages of information I'm just about sold on buying one now! I'll be coming home...

    Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Vehicles

    every MRAP is pretty compact inside and full of gear. If you flop any of these trucks chances are you're going to have stuff flying around inside. We're supposed to have everything strapped down, but realistically there is always going to be loose stuff inside the cabin on a long trip. the...

    Crazy about the new M-ATV

    I've contacted one of the Oshkosh reps in BAF and he told me if you dont wait XX amount of seconds between turning off the ignition switch and the battery switch it can cause the ECM communication problem.

    Crazy about the new M-ATV

    I'm currently deployed to Afghanistan with an Engineer unit and we have a hand full of MRAPS. We have RG-31's, MaxPro's and M-ATV's. The "guys" prefer the M-ATV over the others by far. They have a lot more power and versatility then the competition. The seats are nice for the first few...
