Plastidip is nowhere near durable enough. I did Plastidip on the grill of the redtruck in 2013. Bug impacts have taken a toll on it. For MVs, I like rustoleum rattle can over CARC...(meaning "applied on top of")

I'm all about doing things as cheaply as possible. But broken wheel studs don't appeal to me, and MRAP rims aren't that expensive. $75-$100 for aluminum, and $35-$50 for steel. Adapter plates at $100 each. Frequently you can get 395s mounted on MRAP rims for the same price as dismounted tires...

Why not just use MRAP rims?

The truck in question is a 942. GP's iron clad assurance has a deductible after pickup has taken place. $750 I believe, which is probably enough to offset the PTO. The frame will be a separate issue depending on if GP sees it as a major flaw, or a minor issue. The time to dispute is at...

The description lists a PTO as present. The description is silent on the frame. Edit - upon closer examination the frame is given 3 stars. I find difficulty reconciling torch-cut and heat-cracked with 3 stars.

Optimal rear overhang

. Lose the spare carrier, and go as far forward as you can with the bed, and it'll get rid of the excessive rear overhang. (Excessive overhang pictured )

You need to drive one. Your response will be extreme one way or the other. MVs are an acquired taste. The LMTV platform is the friendliest and tamest of the small end of medium trucks. (As compared to M809, M939, M44, M39 etc)

Please let us know how it went......

Like most MVs, acquisition is the least of the costs. If you're paying someone to work on it, it gets expensive fast. If you're doing the work yourself it isn't that bad. Learn to like the right lane.... In terms of awkwardness, it's a step up from a 1ton dually quad cab longbed. Not...

A0 with 16.00R20s will spin all 6 on dry dirt, and also mud.

My experience has been that deuces behave poorly when on towbars. Gentle turns, and a driver in the seat for any sharp turns. Otherwise they try to flop the steering the opposite direction.

I've experienced this also. Their justification is that they've had people falsify the release documents and steal things.

And another 1000lbs or so for the winch. Figure it at 22,500 give or take 1000. To get closer than that you'll need to run it over scales.

I like them. I contemplate making some for Janet's Jeep. Thing is, you didn't know then what you know now. What you paid for was the knowledge. Had you done it yourself, you'd have had at least one false start. Depending on the value you place on your time you'd have ended up more or less...

I tow the redtruck behind 5tons using a nonadjustable medium-heavy bar. An adjustable medium bar will work just as well. Here again, the only catch is whether your tow points are compatible. Ideally you need a 1" hole to grab. 3/4" feet are also readily available. Post a pic of your tow...

What kind of tow points do you have on the Jeep? A medium adjustable towbar will be fine, but you'll need a good pace to grab the jeep.
