    removing leaves for a softer ride?

    I'm concerned mainly with articulation. Not that this thing's a rock crawler, but there's lots of dry gulleys and ditches and off camber hills and all that stuff here. I'd like to keep all the wheels in contact with the ground if possible without stressing the frame. My truck'll have a shock...

    my *soon to be* M35A2

    sweet deal! if your friend has any more let me know, hehehe. I would have gone the auction route, or look for one in that price range, but didn't want to deal with the hassle. In researching I came across plenty of horror stories of sweet deals, and the moral was always you get what you pay...

    removing leaves for a softer ride?

    after looking at the Millenium Reo project and seeing the springs in a cleaner condition it looks like some tricks might work on them. Maybe take the packs apart and taper each leave more, maybe remove the bottom 1 or 2 leaves and insert teflon pads between the springs. I know they say the...

    M35A2 deuce wheels- different styles?

    yeah, that's really the last thing I was mulling over. Alex has a bunch, so I would have him swap the 9x20 duals for 11 20 singles, then pick up a full set of spares or even 8 spares. The problem would be what to do with all the spare rims when I use the first set of tires up, but I could...

    M35A2 deuce wheels- different styles?

    In debating whether to switch to 11x20 singles and how many spares to pick up when I get the truck, I just wanted to know if there's any off brand wheels to look out for- are all the 20 inch wheels the same? Like, say in the future I switch back to 9x20 (you never know), will I need new...

    deuce winch ratings- what's the scoop?

    so if a deuce winch is rated at 10,000 pounds, can it really pull a deuce out? Does the military underrate everything for safe measure? Or is it intended to rescue other vehicles? I was always told you need a winch rated at twice the vehicle weight to get out of tough situations. what's the...

    shortening exhaust stack- good idea?

    whoops! just noticed this is the mods forum now: I'm trying to get around some logistics of storing the deuce. It needs to go under at least a carport to be insured by Hagerty. BUT, the only problem is the carport design I came up with can only be tall enough to clear the cab (the garage it...

    winch bumper vs regular bumper

    I got to looking- is a winch bumper just the stock bumper turned upside down? I'd think so since I never see bumpers for sale with winch kits

    hardtops- pros and cons?

    for those who have them, particularly those that upgraded at a later date, what do you think of the hardtop? Many pics I have seen show them with rust and that turns me off. Not only cause the rust but because they look really heavy <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif" alt="Big Smile"> can...

    where do the blackout lights go?

    just curious- I don't recall seeing many (or any) deuces with blackout lights? What's the standard position front and rear for these? thanks!

    curious what your title says- Kaiser or Jeep?

    in getting insurance quotes and talking with DMV and just in general speaking with people, the fact that this truck I'm getting is a "Kaiser" really throws them off. Does the title say Jeep or Kiaser? On the tax exemption form Alex sent down, it said Jeep so I was just curious what all your...

    homemade flange question

    hello all, Alex sent me down this flange to use as a pattern for my homemade front disconnects. <img src="http://www.buschandbusch.com/zzflange.jpg" border="0"> The question I had was what is the lip for, and is it OK to not duplicate it? I assume so, but since I don't have a front end...

    11x20 vs 9x20 direct comparison

    anybody have side shots of their truck before and after if you've swapped? Also, what RPM difference did you see in top gear, top speed? From what I gather the difference is about 4 inches in height, so about an extra 300 RPM's you have to go. What does that equate to in speed? thanks. I...

    do I need a BIIIG toolkit?

    cool deal. I've been eyeing eBay for deals on tools, but good luck, all the good 3/4 sets go for like $200. I think I'll tote what I've got up there, along with a large crescent wrnech for emergencies. Also I'll look over the manuals then figure out what I need
