I keep hearing folks say Gulfway is parade insurance only. But I've been through the policy and packet I got from them multiple times and even had the snake-in-the-family (lawyer relation) pick through it. Neither of us could find a single word restricting use. Is there some secret handshake...

Wouldnt surprise me if someone had trimmed it down to the narrow strip while it was still in service. My bet would be on a GI practical joke that hit the wrong target... :twisted:

Here's some of the pix my co-pilot/old man got. Pic 1-3 are of the MVCC unit starting out from the staging area. (#3 shows steelandcanvas' deuce) pic #4 is the inside of my deuce during the parade. Pic 5-7 are some of the crowds including the High-5 brigade in #7 who got me and all the riders...

about the tyr-trac add on to basically turn the deuce into a half-track I found this link Traction Aid for Wheeled Vehicles. which basically claims that the military testing found the tyr-trac system to be of no use in snow over 20" deep, equal to snow chains in snow 12-17" deep and worse than...

:ditto: I've got a short commute to work right now (7 miles) and I cant remember a single day in the last two months where I havent seen at least 3 folks getting tickets from the sheriff dept. Before that I saw maybe a total of 3 pull overs on the same route in the previous 6 months. *gotta...

:ditto:

Definitely sounds like a bored cop told to go drum up $$$ for the gov'ment... Being told to go write tickets to make up for a budget crunch was one of several reasons I told the Sheriff he wasnt paying me enough all those years ago. Just to chime in on Colorado Law a registration as a Collector...

Not sure about LA, but I know in Alabama you can run any trailer short of a semi without a plate as long as it's not used for commercial purposes. I ran a 7' x 16' dual axle 7k pound one for most of the time I lived there with no plate. I had to call a couple different DMV offices and get them...

Does anyone know how the mounts for the M109 van body match up with the mounts for the bed on a M35A2? In other words if I'm crazy enough to drop the bed on my M35A2 and drive out how hard will it be to mount the M109 van body and drive back? Also, any idea on when we can see pix of the van...

I'm in for one of the hard tops, two if I'm not cutting anyone else out. Love to see pix of the van boxes too. If there are enough left after the guys who've already spoken up snap theirs up and I can figure out shipping arrangements I'm in for one of those too.

Their meetings are at the Dino Diesel. [ Map: 5389 plum ave, sedalia, co - Google Maps ] Their website is at Military Vehicle Collectors of Colorado I'm hoping to make my first meeting myself this Friday...

Hope you guys dont mind a 2-part follow up 1) what tire sizes have you run chains with? I know some people are not hot on them for offroad, but I need to know for legally mandated on-road use. There are passes here in Colorado where if you dont chain up you either sit (for days) or you get...

They rode in the back when I test drove it and the first things out of their mouths was the demand to drive them to school in it... :roll: And then when they saw I'd gotten the plates they asked if I was driving them the next day. I think that they may actually enjoy it more than I do. Go...

That would be awesome. I'll stick the plate in the front window and cross my fingers that they actually get something right for once and pass it. :-D

Well, I went and lot my mind and picked up a Deuce. Its a 1971 AM General M35A2 Multi-fuel turbo diesel with 39k miles and 1300 hours on the turbo. I'm currently under orders to drop off all three of my girls at school and daycare in it ASAP or face the consequences... :twisted: short term...
