    19.5 deuce wheels. Any interest?

    19.5s are way more common in the MDT world then 20s. Tons of tire choices, just moat are road tread and have good weight ratings. Would be great for trailers that use the 6 lug and want somthing besides 900s.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

Went to drain the dff and it was **** near empty, Was pleasantly surprised that my front end is the newer UJoint style tho...

    Problems With 16.00 Tires

    Did you put an dynamic balancer in the tires?. If not put in aprox 20 ounces (airsoft BBs work) ans try a drive test. These tires are so huge that 1/4 in of deflection is proportional to what a small passenger tire has. I have a feeling you bought a new set of tires and will.experiance the same...

    M925 m923 brake types?

    I had a long conversation with a lady from ODOT and we couldnt find anything that required a CDL for non commercial use. Every regulation we she pulled up had the word "for Commerce" or "commercial." While we couldnt find anything that required a CDL, we also couldn't find anything that...

    How good is a deuce really in the mud?

    Ive taken my truck through many bogs events, and just out in open fields. I would really recommended that where ever you go there is a decent sized trackhoe or dozer. If your sitting on axles a 1ton probably wont budge it. The biggest issue I notice with mil trucks that no one ever airs down the...

    Which Deuce is Best

    Firstly its "Deuce". Second it comes down to multifuel with a manual or diesel only with an auto and expensive if the trans or motor go. Other then the sheetmetal and ctis most any thing can be upgraded on the a2 to a3. A2s are cheaper and there is alot of posts regarding this. In the upper...

    hacking the fenders to make 39 inch Swampers fit

    Im guessing your talking about making m1008/m1028. Would probably be cheaper and easier to swap out the diffs for a 3.73 gear. Im sure there are people who would trade him straight across for the 4.56s.

    m105 help needed on the road

    If the brakes aren't dragging , then just unhook the airline and worry about when you get home. Just drive smart and you will be fine with out the 105 brakes.

    Fine thread bolts vs coarse

    Its possible, but I put lock washers on as mine didnt either. I torqued them to spec and everything. Maybe I had a bad run, idk, but having the receiver fall off the truck is not a good thing. Well worth the extra 10 bucks the fine thread and nylocs cost.
