I am considering a CUCV as a bug out vehicle and a vehicle to drive in the snow.
Why is the top speed only 55 and why is the horse power so low for such a large engin? I drive roads that are typically 45 and 55 mph but sometimes its a 65. I doubt I would be going that fast in the snow. What...
I am very new to military vehicles and am trying to learn as much as possible. Maybe a CUCV would better fit my needs? Not sure why they only go 55 mph. The deuce appeals to me since it can be had with a camper back. What would it take to live in the back of one in a cold climate such as a...
How much are the fees for government liquidation purchases in PA or fron Fort Drum NYC for a PA resident. I am looking at prices on the M35A2 and A3 as well as trailer prices. What taxes and fees other than bid price do I pay? I seen some A3's with a start bid of 150.00
How good are the...
How many gallons do the A2 and A3 tanks hold? How many miles can you get on a tank of gas?
Could I drive this really far if I had to like from Florida to Maine? What is the maximum cruising speed without hurting anything? Where can I find new tires for these? Would the A3 run better in the...
Bug out= Getting myself and my friends out of a natural diaster or other problem such as new orleans or watts riots before it grows to the high point. I figure if something happened I could drive one of these up in the woods and live out of it for a week or so if need be. I am also looking for a...
It looks like the A2 would be a better bugout vehicle. I am looking for a vehicle to drive in the snow and bug out in. If the A3 is the same top speed the A2's simple features and multi fuel capability are more what I am looking for. I just figured the A3 would be faster and safer for me to...
How many MPG do these get at about 55Mph?
What is the top speed?
Why did they only make 6000 of them?
What type of fuel do they take?
Do you need a CDL to drive one?
I am thinking about getting one. They seem like the ultimate BOV. What kind of money will I spend on a nice one? Are they more...
Lets say 200 miles a month on highways and regular road ways. Like twice a week for a 19 or 60 mile trip or maybe just a 2 mile. I want one but since im not a mechanic, I was wondering how much more than a mustang it would be to do average stuff to?
How big is the inside of the bed? What types of cars or other large objects will fit? Not sure if you could use a hill with plywood to load a car?
What ammount of weight in the bed or on trailer would require a cdl? Not sure if there is a max weight before a PA CDL would be required. I found...
I was wondering what you guys spend each month/ year to keep you deuce running. Also can these go anywhere that 18 wheelers can? Will they fit through tunnels and bridges where most vehicles go?
What would you consider safer on the road just for comparison? I was just thinking that the steel construction and weight would make this much safer than anything else that you wouldnt need a class B or A license to drive? How often do you change the oil and what kinds of other maint. costs are...
I was wondering how hard or easy it is to role a deuce? Where can you get larger tires that wont cost tons of money. I was looking for tires that will get good traction but also hold up to 120 mile travel on a hot highway. If get one I would prob prefer getting the 6 large tires instead of 10.
It just seems like it would hold up like a semi in a snow related collision. I would sure feel safe if I was rear ended or T boned while driving one. I prob. wouldnt take it over 40 on the highway in the snow. How do these things hold up to sitting around maint. wise? Will they cost more or less...
I am right by Allentown PA. I have looked at these in person and think they are really neat. The main thing that drew me to them is the fact they can sit for long periods of time and possibly be saft if I smashed it up driving in the snow. Anyone know how these hold up in a collision with...
I live in PA and am looking for a vehicle that I can drive in the snow and have for fun. I am considering a CICV (blazer) or a M35A2. I want something that can go in deep snow and be safe if I were to slide off the road or smash into something. I currently work campus safety and drive to work in...
