    Not A Lurker Anymore.

    If I was pistolnut only 30 miles away, for the fuel I would haul them for you with my duece. I do not like to haul really big things with little things. I had a small one axle box I built push my 72 international travel all right through an intersection after the light changed. I immediately...

    House Haulin' on HGTV

    RE: House Haulin While waiting for the ARMY to get me a slot in OBC, back in 1984 I worked for a house mover in Fitchburg MA who was working on four houses at the same time. The biggest one was in Worchester as an insurance company bought a big parcel to expand their building and parking and...

    Mopar 440 deuce in the mud (pics and vid added)

    Thanks for the links they are way cool Frank: Thanks for the pictures and video links I really enjoyed looking at them. I grew up in Illinois and Indiana and the mud looks very familiar. Not very many places open enough around here to do that but I hope to be moving out the country again...

    RE: Need Transportation from quakertown pa to South Ohio 45 Take the newborn with you and drive home, I took all four of mine when they were really young back to Texas from PA to fix a home we were trying to sell. Heck if the wife wants to come along make it a family affair and some of us...

    Making a Dolly Converter

    Since it will be a M 200A1 variant and will be longer than a conventional converter I think so since it is the length of my M 105A2 and has the dual tires granted it does not weigh much empty but it is not a lightweight item like an automotive car dolly. perhaps Garabee can chime in on his and...

    Making a Dolly Converter

    Thanks Ken and Kenny, If you could post some pictures in the gallery that would be great, I think I agree with you on the bypass route I was thinking having a valve that would allow me to turn them on and off, on for the dolly alone and off with a tagged trailer. I am hoping to get this done...

    New Deuce Win...

    That truck looks great and for that price what water would have done can be fixed for less than I paid for mine. I would have bid on some of them for my son if I knew they went that low it would have paid to fly down fix it and drive it home. I would help you get it going if I was closer or...

    Thinking about buying a deuce

    Definately go for it man the duece will serve you way better than a bus and cost less. I have had Soldiers in the back of one being used as a gun truck and we drove over logs in the road and though ditches and not one of them got hurt and most wanted to keep that job of manning the machine guns...

    Thinking about buying a deuce

    I have ridden in dueces in the Army and a set of earplugs is all you need in the back and technally with troop seats and a strap you should be alright since it is a part of the truck with installed seats. I love my deuce and it is a multifuel although it runs on diesel only right now. Home...

    Dished Hood & Roof

    You will see the same dent in my hood in the photo gallery. Soldiers often climbed up on the hood and cab to finish putting the tarp on the back or got on the hood to get in and out of the ringmount. The metal is still way heavier than any other of my vehicles and I am not too concerned about...

    M1009 Front battery not charging

    I plan on replacing the alternator today when I get home. Does anyone know of a 100 Amp or bigger substitute for the #1 Alternator that will bolt in and fit without major reconstruction?
