    6 Wheels vs. 10 WheelsthereT

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: 6 Wheels vs. 10 WheelsthereT Dual 11.00x20's give a higher load rating as a safety factor, at least tire-wise. The shelter makes the truck top heavy and I would not be crossing very uneven surfaces. 99% of my use is on the road with 3 tons in the bed and that's where dual...

    GL-1 vs GL-5/MT-1

    RE: Purist GL-5/MT-1 retains its performance better than GL-1 when it is hot. For the extra few dollars, I'll spend my hard earned money on it. I don't know of any yuppies with MVs around these parts. I suspect they are all up north with the yankees in places like New York City.

    Theft prevention?

    I put a deadbolt in the drivers door. Mine is sloppy but some of you craftsmen could do better. The pass. door is locked, and with the drivers door opening only with the key, it is adequate for my needs. http://www.bunkerofdoom.com/mil/m35/lock/index.html

    Which Deuce has the big cargo box and how available are they

    I'm limited to half a driveway. At one time I wanted to buy an old 10,000 sq. ft warehouse complete with loading dock to live in, but didn't have the money. Now 25 years later I have the money, but already have a house and the warehouses have gone outta sight in price! The dock would be a good...

    Which Deuce has the big cargo box and how available are they

    Some points on each: [][] M109: more room in the shelter since it is the bed-body and not a separate container that fits inside the existing bed. It's about 8" wider and 8" longer than the s-280 shelter. has windows usually has ''hobbyist starter kit" electrical wiring as well - a fule box...
