    Annapolis Road Trip Time

    Hello all, I know that this isn't necessarily a MV road trip, but I feel that this fits in here the best anyhow, so please bear with me :-D. So on June 28th I report to Annapolis for my plebe year. My dad and I decided that this would be the best time to do a road trip, so we are going to be...

    $400 a gallon

    Thats what i think. There is no way that it can be that expensive. They say at that rate it costs 20.2 billion to run the AC annually.

    Arizona vs FMV

    When we registered our deuce in Gila county there were no problems, no emissions, and it was super cheap. But i can't imagine registering in Maricopa county! It is hard enough to have my Ford Ranger registered there!

    $400 a gallon

    Hey Folks, I was watching a show called "battle-ready" on the history channel last night, and they mentioned that diesel is $400 a gallon in Afghanistan...Does anybody know anything about this? Or why it is so high? I'm sure that it all has to be shipped from the CONUS, but it still sounds much...

    My "new" deuce!

My friend has a unimog, an m37, an m109, a couple willies jeeps, 2 m105s, a jeep mule, and tonsss of other stuff... we drove the truck up to show him that...

    My "new" deuce!

    Yes, that was me! Originally i had made the list when i was going to look at a different deuce than this...The other deuce i was going to buy, the owner decided not to sell it at the last minute. I'm fine with that though becasue we ended up with a nice truck! We paid a little more, but we got a...

    My "new" deuce!

    Thank you! Yeah, we are used to big toys around here. My grandpa used to be a semi truck driver/ mechanic for a demolition company for a while, and he has the knack for working on this kind of stuff. He buys and sells backhoes for fun, and he has built several hot rods. This deuce is right up...

    My "new" deuce!

    thank you! Up close you can see the texture of the crappy paint under the new paint, but it was wayyyy too much work to try and remove all the old paint.. besides, it keeps the deuce's character :smile:

    My "new" deuce!

    yep, and it will be garaged. we have a quonset hut that we keep it in, along with the quads and the other toys... and since we have a multi-car discount with hagerty, it also brought down the price of insurance on the street-rod as well! It definitely made for a good buy!

    My "new" deuce!

    yeah, we drove it around down the dirt roads here in AZ today...the paint color blends in with the roads perfectly.

    My "new" deuce!

    Hey all, I'm not sure who all on here saw my thread last week about going and buying a deuce, as i deleted the thread after I bought the deuce. All went well, as the guy who we bought the deuce from only live an hour away, and it was highway the entire way. The truck loaded up on to the trailer...

    M35A2 Pre-Trip Inspection Sheet(s)

    I dont know if this helps, but i have a PDF that i made out of excel for simple deuce checkover topics. There are a couple errors in it, like where it says stake beds, that should be changed to troop seats....one of these days i will get around to updating the list. Also, if looking at a deuce...
