The manual says 3000 is the limit on this setup, I believe it could do alot more, all my attaching hardware is rated around 6000 lbs, its all 1/2 wire (actually from a an old broke winch) so the guide wire is way bigger than it needs to be.
We had to make everything movable so we could extend...
Just wanted to say thanks to the site.
I know I don't post alot, and there is no need to because every question has been asked and answered several times so I can usually find what I need in a search.
For us fans of the green iron, this site is a must, I don't add alot to other posts...
Every since I saw it in the manual, I knew it was gonna happen. I thought that it would make things so much easier, well for the most part we got them done and I got them on the truck today.
Haven't tried them out with more than a couple hundred pounds as my guide wire isn't supported...
Hagerty is the same way.. no telling how many people here just took the pic in someone else's garage.
Its not setup to haul people in the back so your can't.. I said it has "troop seats", I wouldn't say thats true. I said so I can't even put Boy Scouts in it and do a parade or two? She...
I may be in, not sure.. kinda depends on temp, cause I have an exhaust leak... 15 minutes into a trip and my throat hurts and I'm getting sleepy.
So an all day trip would be rough if I can't keep the windows down.
So I got a winch from a guy, and everything else off another m35a2, PTO, drive shaft, brackets, etc.
My winch looks like the normal deuce winch but the one piece I was missing was the winch yoke to PTO driveshaft yoke U-Joint.
I look up what you guys are saying the whole spicer 5-153x and go...

need to get all other parts for the winch - pto - engage - (have winch)

My Deuce didn't come with a top. I think I'd like a softtop, but maybe a hard top would be better for winter. Either way just curious if anyone has anything, taking the shotgun approach here.
I saw the P/N for the soft top kits, and that someone said the army pays 431 for them, how do you get...
Outstanding information, because the coolant looks so clean I was going to reuse it.
This whole time I did believe it was straighten antifreeze not diluted because its as bright green as can be. Didn't know it could do that. When you say test it, you mean with just a little tester with the...
I was hoping the same thing about it have sat, I have to add about 1 gallon for every 15 miles.. I have drove it probably 60, seems to be getting a little worse, so guess its time to change that dude.
Oddly enough, this has new hoses and new radiator and looked like fresh fluid, maybe they tried to fix this leak, or I could be mistaken where its leaking from, but pretty sure I see it coming from the weep hole.
Hello everyone, long time lurker.. First time poster..
I've never needed to post because, well usually my questions have already been asked and answer, you guys are such a wealth of information.
But I can't seem to find this question so.....
Picked up my deuce on Friday.. yeah, think it was...
