    M54A2 VS. M35A2 (winter driving)

    Hello all, after years of reading and looking and learning I have finally narrowed my MV search down to 2. The classic M35A2 or the bigger brother M54A2. I want a multi fuel so the 800 and 900 series was out for me and a manual trans is more than a must have. I understand the multi's are low on...

    Deuce movies???

    Anyone know of any informative movies about deuces? Like specs, how the run, why people like them, what a good truck looks like VS a beater, some shots out wheeling etc, etc. So basically a documentary on nothing but m35a2's and the like.

    Converting a non-winch to a winch truck

    Hello, I don't have a deuce yet but I found one on craigslist that's pretty cheap, only problem is it doesn't have a winch. Personally I think any car or truck that is 14,000 LBS, and is 6 wheel drive should have a winch haha. So can it be done, if so how hard is it too do? Thanks

I figured an old detroit would be pretty different. I don't even know which model detroit would even...

    What can a multi fuel deuce run on

    I am completely new to MV's and I like the idea of running a deuce on WMO, because I can get tons of it for free. But what I don't know is do you have to mix it with diesel, or can you just filter it and put it in the tank. Also can you post a list of what is safe to run in the deuce and also...
