    Which Deuce is Best

    I don't use my deuce as a DD, but I didn't buy it for that. I got it because of the "run on anything" aspect. Now that it has been here for almost a year, I'm still lovin' every minute of it. I could wish for some of the extras that come with an A3, but they're not worth the baggage (CTIS...

    just bought an m105a2

    With GL, it can be hard to tell what happened. Just got an M105A2 myself that I actually lost the bid on. 5 days into the 10 day window, I found out that I had gotten the trailer, and I had to scramble to get the paperwork in and right. Waiting on the SF-97 now. Congratulations and enjoy! Rick

    Securing trucks for Civilian Usage - how to?

    Any defensive measure can be defeated. Go for defense in depth; give the thief multiple defenses to overcome. Locking doors, locking switches, hidden switches, chains, hidden valves, etc.. Most thieves want to get in and get out quick; make them spend that precious time. :twisted:

    If you're gonna start it, you might as well finish it. All at once.

    Virginia State Inspections

    If you already have a place where you go regularly, talk to them first. They might be satisfied with just looking through the inspection port for the brakes. Feel them out first, if you pressure them by just showing up, and "demanding" your inspection, they may just give it to you. Rick (a...

    M925

    The info IS pretty easy to find, but as a quick answer, it is the A2. And oh yeah, I WANT ONE.

    Outbid on an M105A2?

    Abandon nothin'. I'd be tempted to show up in Arizona. But that's just me.

    Have you been tested?

    Yeah, but it sucks when you gotta pee in a cup just to do your job when others don't have to just to get free... OOPS.

    The Deuces first ride on the town

    Yeah Baby! Are these things a blast or what? Just wait 'til a crowd gathers before you can even park.

    Outbid on an M105A2?

    Wow, I'm liking this thing more and more. Baby came with new shoes and everything else inside the drum. The last picture shows why. At some point everything came loose on the right side and beat up the drum. Got the parking brake cables out and lubed up to prevent sticking. Got the...

    Outbid on an M105A2?

    Bump!!!! Still looking for an answer. Did any one lose and then be declared the winner? On a side note: got the parking brake actuator rods off today and realized that a 3/8'" turnbuckle in a fine thread might be a little hard to locate. Any suggestions??aua:shock:

    a few questions

    As to finding some WMO, start with prayer and add some perseverence. Look all over, stop into places you pass, talk to people you know. Some will want you to buy it, some will ignore you , some will quote EPA rules at you. But some will say yes and every once in a while, someone will say...
