I've read that Detroits are available, but were they ever standard issue? Like if I'm shopping for a deuce can it be possible it has a detroit? How can you tell other than the turning radius and loud noises :) Are Detroits a good idea with all that torque, like can the axle in a 2.5 ton...

just wondering- say you don't plan on carrying much, maybe only 2,500 pounds offroad and 5,000 pounds onroad. Is it feasible to remove some of the leaves in the spring packs for a smoother and more flexible ride? Anybody done it? About how much height can you expect to lose? Just toying...

I'll have to see if I can find one....... thanks!

that would be nice- my criteria is that it is in good mechanical shape, looks aren't that important. It won't be a resto, it'll be used. I need it to run good out of the box and be reliable at least for a while. My price range is in the lower end of the spectrum considering I'm not...

sweet idea! About how long is the swap? And can I ask what mileage you see with them on versus the originals? Just like my truck, I don't use 4wd as much as I should, but when I do I want it to work when I need it, but preferably in a short amount of time :)

of those who have shipped their deuces, how many did it for over 2,500 miles, and how much did it cost? I see all kinds of shippers listed in MV magazine, but don't know how it would work. Would I need to wait for a truck to be out that way, do they go pick it up, are there certain fees for...

I'm seriously on the hunt now for a deuce but was wondering- do they make lower numerical gears for the deuce to give it a little better on highway feel/higher top speed? With the rockwell gaining popularity in standard off road vehicles I'd think there would be new offerings other than the...

hello all, thanks for the great link to logsa below. I got everything, but as you know the operator's manula is "classified". Go figure, they'll let you know how each and every part is put together, but not how to drive it? Anyhow, is there any link to a online PDF of the TM 9-2320-361-10...

alrighty, got that fixed. Stupid Geocities is out of the loop and I set up my page on our other site finally. check it out now: http://www.buschandbusch.com/m1073.html thanks!

it's been a while since I posted my last pics, but since then the tire carrier, lights, CB and benches have been added. Lift coming soon, but more importantly I'm on the hunt for a deuce since I found out our DMV could care less about registering them (go figure, I'm going through nightmare...

how tough have you found the Krylon to be offroadsh? My current paint, Aervoe light green aerosol, doesn't flake and I like the finish, but even though I sanded the base down it rubs off with a sharp edge, like a key or sagebrush. I should have primered, but even then I don't think it would...
