    Front axle brake shoes wear out faster than rear axle brake shoes?

    My front and rear shoes seem to be pretty even. My '08 Ford E150 also wears the pads down evenly front vs rear. I think the key is to be gentle and slow down smoothly and with gentle pressure. The harder you stop the more weight/momentum shifts forward and wears the front pads. (I must say, with...

    wiper blades

    I converted my deuce to the civi arms and wipers and I'm glad I did. They work much better than the stock wipers. I highly recommend this mod. Paint the wiper arms green or black and no one will ever know the difference.

    Welcome to the jungle. The M35A2 is awesome. I love mine. Read through the site as there is tons of info here. I get out to California every once in a while for work. Makes me wish I had my deuce with me when I see an off highway vehicle area.

    The G177's are nice. You can get them for $150 a piece usually. That's a good price.

    Thousands of HMMWV may actually be sold to public; not a rumor

    AM General told the gov not to sell HMMWV's to the public because they didn't want them competing with civi H1 sales and they didn't want any possible liability issues with wrecks, injuries, etc. That said, what about the A2 and A3 deuces made by AM General? Did they not expect such large...

    Thousands of HMMWV may actually be sold to public; not a rumor

    I am skeptical but stranger things have happened. My biggest reservation would be the government/contractor process. Things are bound to get expensive in there somewhere. I have a Deuce and a soon to be Mutt. I don't need a HMMWV.

    Safe canvas snow load?

    I'm not sure but I do the same thing to my deuce's tarp. Climb in the back and push up to knock the snow off.
