...AND enough ammo to feed it for a while. My old boss sold his M2HB less than 5 years ago for under $15K. If you're thinking of purchasing a ready-to-go truck from CA, make sure and check out Hundy's place:

While not a deuce, the same applies. This was my old 4Runner from years ago that I painted desert MARPAT, and I plan to paint my deuce the same way/color in a month or so. I took a pair of trousers down to the local paint store and had them match 3 of the 4 colors for me (because I'm too lazy...
Yep, their gracious offer was a Godsend. It also helps that the guy in charge over there loves MV's and is looking for a 5T shop van ;) One of the employees that works there (a former classmate of mine) also drives a Unimog.

For the past week or so, I've been taking off little odds and ends on the truck/trailer to get it ready for the bob process. Hopefully, it'll save some time and allow the job to be done quicker. I've removed: auxiliary fuel tank (non-matching and non-functioning), tie-downs on the truck...
Deuce in the driveway, trailer in the garage, now I need some tires. I REALLY want a set of those 16.00-20 XZL’s, but after just putting new 35’s on my Jeep and new tire’s on the wife’s Jeep, it just wasn’t in the budget at the moment…someday. So, like anyone else here would do, I started...
With the deuce now in my driveway, I started reading tons of threads about what I would need to accomplish my goals. I’ve learned a lot so far, but still learn a few new things every day. I decided to go the route of the trailer box and springs, and I found a local guy selling a M105A1...
Be forewarned; I’m long-winded at times and generally post a lot of pics… So, if you’d rather skip through just to look at the pics I won’t hold it against you… Also, some people think build threads are boring since there’s usually quite a gap in posting because, well, “life happens.” That’s...
I'm in E. Mesa but will be taking my (by then) bobbed deuce through your area sometime in August; I think I'll try taking it on the Jeep club's annual run on the back way to Crown King instead of the Jeep this year. If you want to see how to bob a deuce, I may be able to get you in to help with...
I'm far from the expert, but way back when I was considering burning old railroad ties in a wood burning stove, I was warned against it. I was told that the creosote would burn way too hot. Might have a similar reaction being burned in an engine?

Actually yes, I did. But when doing a search like that, I'll only look at threads that seem relevant in the title. I think I did a search of "15.50." I didn't search the entire size because some people list sizes differently (ie. 15.50-20, 15.5x80/20, etc...not saying it's right, but I've...
I just noticed the NSN info posted by GL on the item's page; it says that the "end item identification" is for "weapon system category trailer, M1076." So, I assume this is the trailer:

I won these from Hooks today; $100 for 6. They're worn, but appear to have a lot of life left. There was another lot of the same that went for $35; thought about bidding on that one too, but didn't want to commit before I found out if they would work or not. Once they arrive, I'll see if the...
:lol: Already have the right truck, just hope the tires and wheels can be used. Next time around, I'll look for tires that I can't use so that I have a reason for another truck...lol.
Thanks for the tip!

Sorry for not providing enough information above, but this will be mounted on a bobbed deuce, and I'll be welding in new centers on the wheels. I was just curious if anyone else has used this combination with satisfactory results and if these wheels have sufficient or excessive backspacing to...
What a way to start my first real post...lol. In a sort of knee-jerk action, I bid on (and won) 6 of these wheels/tires from a GL auction moments ago. I didn't do enough research ahead of time and I was hoping that a member here could tell me if I can mount these on my stock deuce ('65 M109A3...
