Custom 6x6 M715 that was built and shown off on one of the other sites. It is a true 6x6, took a lot of fabrication and modding of the stock axles to make it work, the suspension works much like a deuce does.
Yes, you're right. I didn't notice the A2 designation, except for the wheels, the trailer is still the right size for your rig. You'll need to carry a spare tire for the trailer, though, since they do not interchange.
I know this is an ANCIENT thread, but I just saw the video of some upgrades that someone had done to this truck, post-your-ownership. Pretty awesome rig, both while you owned it and afterwards....
The IP is probably okay because you are getting fuel. The engine just bogs down when you rev it up, because it is starved for fuel supply. However, the old fuel isn't helping things. Drain the tank, replace with new fuel, and filters, and I'd bet it will run like a stuck pig.
Mmmmmm....pig roast.....
Looks like you guys had a good time as well! Even when you can't afford to go to a rally, you go to a rally! Just smaller... [thumbzup]
I'd guess filters. However, one of my deuces I bought had a crimped front fuel line, the one that goes from the primary filter under the radiator to the left side of the engine to the secondaries. The copper line had a big crunch in it, maybe from a forklift, who knows. I just cut it out and...

Love it! Chain link fence posts - I should've saved some money when I installed my convoy light poles and done it this way....
Doing more with less! Pretty soon, since we all have been doing so much, for so long, with so little, we'll soon be qualified to do anything with nothing!
According to Cabell, no trails need to be cut - there have been crews working all winter and spring on it, and they are DONE! All we needs to do is get some more guys with green trucks up there to use the trails!
What do you have in mind for the axle replacements? The stock Dana 60 front and Dana 70 rears are pretty beefy already.... I guess you could always go Dana 70 front and Dana 80 rear. ;)
The 11.00x16 XL tires look great on it, did you give it any lift or is that the stock height? Looks like...
