I got a letter from DLA earlier this week (Monday). I assumed this meant I had been approved. As of today (Friday) GL still says they have not received any approval. How long does it normally take once I get the DLA letter? Also, the letter never really says I've been "approved". It says...

What's the official word on walk-away parts? I have read a few posts recently about stuff missing from guys' trucks when they go to pick them up. I am going to be supremely pissed if I show up and, say, my cargo cover is gone. Anybody had any problems with this? Do we have any recourse?

So, I've been reading all the posts about Deuce's in the mud, sand, etc. and reading all about super singles, lockers, etc. Everyone says the stock setup sucks, but what I really want to know is how does it work for the average off-road farm use? The more I read, the more I get the feeling...

I got my DLA letter yesterday so I am expecting an invoice in the next day or so and then I will have 14 days to pick it up. I am planning on driving my truck back myself, but my wife is pregnant and due in less than a month. If I can't get it picked up in the next week or so, I'm going to...

If somebody wouldn't mind taking a look at my truck, maybe see if it starts or if there are any obvious problems (brakes leaking, etc.), that would be awesome. Send me a PM if you're headed out there soon. Thanks!

I'm curious as to how everyone approaches this. Do you wait for something to leak or break and then fix it, or do you go around replacing seals, gaskets, boots, etc. on a regular schedule. The reason I ask is that I will be picking up my first deuce soon and after going over the brakes and...

This is probably blasphemy, but is there any sort of commercially available alternative to a mule? I'm not talking about the 4x4 Rhino/Gator/Mule/etc., but a platform-based vehicle like the M274. If not, it seems like maybe you could build something similar. Is there any chassis or drivetrain...

What's the difference between the M102-M105 trailers? What about the variations (i.e. A1, A2, A3, etc.)? I see the M101 is a 3/4 ton but these all look like 1 1/2 ton cargo trailers to me. What's the correct trailer to match the deuce? Thanks!

I'm just getting together my list of recovery items and I'd like to take along a standard air tool hose with tire chuck, nozzle, maybe an air wrench, etc. just in case. I have a couple of questions: 1) Do all the trucks have the fitting under the dash for air tools? 2) If so, what size is the...

You guys probably get these posts every Thursday and Friday, but here goes: Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Blind bid, no preview, I'm an idiot but I couldn't be more excited. It will probably self-destruct on the way home :) $2,140 in Indiana w/winch, soft top, cargo cover, no...

I'm looking at a truck. Is there any way to tell from these pics if this is a "whistler" turbo?

Anybody have a deuce in KC they'd like to sell? Know anyone nearby that has one for sale? I've done the eBay, craigslist, GL thing, I just wanted to see if I'm missing anything privately owned before I go the GL route. Thanks!!!

I understand the whole EUC and SF-97 process, but my question is about time. I have seen posts about it taking 6 months to get both completed and others saying it only took 15-30 days. I've also seen people say that GL has gotten better recently, but I don't really know. So, what is the...

I'm looking into purchasing a truck in Mount Juliet, TN (37122, near Nashville) which needs to be hauled to Platte City, MO (64079, near Kansas City). Time frame would be the end of July. Send quote via PM if you're interested. Thanks!

I'm looking at buying a '62 Kaiser Deuce. My question is, what amenities (if any) will I be missing out on by buying an early 60's model? Do the later trucks (late 60's, early 70's) have any "modern" features that a '62 wouldn't? I'm thinking of things like air brakes, air shift, steering...
