Haha! Yeah, but haven't actually gotten to do any of that...yet. You know, full time college student and all that. But I will. Drive that M923A2 up to Alaska and visit!

Fine looking truck! Heck yeah, go tear that deep stuff up! I know as soon as I get mine I will be climbing the "speed bumps" and in the snow and mud.

Haha! Yeah, they have the turning radius of a planet! Of course the M923/M925 does much better, they'll go all sorts of places. Would love to take mine on the trails once I get one, go get muddy. Probably the XLWB version first, then a 923 or 925 is next on my list.

Jbulach, your 925A2 that is?

As someone who is wondering about living in an M927A2 or M928A2 with a box in the bed, anyone ever take a long base cargo truck off road or mudding? Curious how the XLWB versions would fare.

Agreed, they're just plain amazing trucks, for pretty much everything! I'm glad this thread is now 7 pages long and counting for that reason. I love everything about these trucks: Their simplicity, how most things are overbuilt and the rest is just simple, along with their history, for me I...

How so?

Definitely curious how your truck will do in the thick stuff then! It is, after all, a "heavy" truck...so it should do it?

Love it, Spyderman! I also plan on daily driving mine once I get one.

Looks like a fun project. Beautiful truck too, got any overall pics?

Yeah, I knew that the studs had a lesser R-value, I knew someone who built with 2X4 studs staggered to avoid that. I'll have to bug the arctic engineering department this spring. I've also lived very hot places too, where I grew up in CA single pane aluminum frame slider windows used to be the...

They are ugly, but in such a way that they're beautiful. I'm partial to the M939 "Head" and "Face". One of many reasons I love these trucks, the way they look!

S280 or build my own is I guess maybe where it's at then. Ideas for lightweight but strong materials? I'd think aluminum but it'd be just a giant heat sink in this climate. Maybe fiberglass? Anyone try that?

Maybe that would fit! Would an M934 box fit in the bed of a 927, so as to be lift-out-so-I-have-a-cargo-truck-able?

Interesting! Considering that fits in the bed of a Deuce I could conceivably also have space to the rear to still use as a cargo truck? Anything longer than an S280, but as wide? I'd like to avoid propane heaters for the reasons mentioned, probably electric, realistically speaking? Or...

Lots?

Beautiful truck!

Clever, but looks like you'd be feeding it constantly. Maybe not...I could be wrong.

Not yet. I have, however, wondered that quite a bit, still very much in the throwing ideas around phase. I guess the bed/floor would be the biggest issue, also because it's a giant steel heat sink! So far I've pictured stick-built 2X4, maybe double-walled, but like you said weight may be an...

Interesting thoughts! VPed, that's my thing, I'd like to potentially have it as a livable structure off of the truck at times..but maybe just build a platform? The little solid-fuel stove sure seems like an interesting concept, too.
