Oh wow, your headlights are LED? Was that a conversion you did yourself?

Yeah, then you can re-spray with a second coat. Did you just acquire this Deuce recently?

Looks good! Fresh paint job I see!

Not bad at all!

Congragulations! What did you trade? Is it eventually going to be your daily driver?

@JohnnyBM931A2; here's hoping for the best! Hope you're back in the driver's seat soon!

I feel like I would most likely take a break from school in that situation and get a good-paying-but-mindless-work job (I know of possibilities) to pay for the next year. But I very much agree about "Good" debt vs. "Bad" debt. Student loans are still way "better" then buying a flascreeen...

Education first and foremost for sure! I'm glad to hear other people also being sensible about it! Otherwise I'd already have one...but I have more important things to spend my money on... As far as Sallie Mae...I refuse to take out student loans. I'd just take a gap year and work if needed...

Yeah, I need seat time. I HAVE helped (unsuccessfully) roll-start a Deuce, and have ridden in one (On all unpaved roads, no less!) so I know how they drive and "feel". Haven't been underway in a 939 series 5 ton but trying to keep a being-towed-by-a-material-handler Deuce straight with it's...

Interesting thought. I just like the feel and character of the 939 series better I guess. I admittedly wonder how the university is going to feel about me parking a M939 there though. Worst comes to worst I'll get a small car that's really easy on gas for that commute, (Did I mention I might...

Looks like fun! I know when I eventually get my own 923 I'll be doing plenty of the above for sure...

Depends on your definition of what constitutes cold I guess. The southeast "Panhandle", where I live currently, is closer to Canada than the rest of Alaska, and the climate is pretty much like the Pacific Northwest/Seattle but a little more extreme and a little colder. It varies drastically...

I hope for a speedy recovery! How soon after surgery can you be back in the driver's seat?

...Because things wear out faster that way! rofl That aside, I still can see enjoying driving one every day.

OK, here's how I'm looking at it. I'll try it for some amount of time (A month?) and see how it goes. Either I'll hate it and go get something else as an errand-runner and grocery-getter and commuter car (but keep the Deuce) or I'll love it and drive it every day. Thoughts?

I'd say, despite planning on driving one every day, that everything is just slightly harder on a Deuce. Door handles, window cranks, clutch pedal, steering, stopping, the ride, especially on a dirt road, etc. They're just very rattly and shaky in general, kind of disconcerting if you're not...

"A couple chiropractors on call" I love it! Yeah, I kinda remember for a short while you were driving your '84 M923A1 quite a bit. Did you ever end up selling out?

Great ideas! I don't know about spray foam since I don't live there yet (Although I do live in Alaska, but not the "cold" part yet). But good ideas on something other than foam board!

All good thoughts! Weatherstripping around windows/windshields? (except maybe driver's side window in case it needs to be rolled down quickly) -extra insulation could be done in the hard top easily...that pink or blue foam stuff.

I was thinking "Supplies" on board for sure. A decent selection of necessary tools is going to be essential, along with stuff like oil "Diaper" rags, etc. Knowing my intentions, friends (Who are familiar with Deuces and M809 series 5 tons and 939 series 5 tons) started gifting me with all...
