    Starting-out concerns??

    I got a full set of craftsman 3/4" drive ratchet and sockets for 90 bucks (sale, WOOH!) from 7/8" to 1 7/8". I'll start purchasing the combi-wrenches as i free up a little more capital. I have a half-inch impact, and a 3/4" drive breaker bar. I'll take this list with me to ace later today and...

    Starting-out concerns??

    Alrighty. I'll start hunting for an A2 turbo! Preferable one that I don't have to drive more than 500 miles or so to get home. Thanks for the tips; where would I get that mil-spec 8-point axle nut socket? and particular surplus dealers you guys recommend?

    Sorry for the delay getting back. Work last week was pandemonium. I don't want a 5-ton because: a) I don't need anything that big b) I don't have the licence c) I'd like to see the high-side of 45mph someday :D Consequently, I'm looking at getting an A2 multi-fuel turbo. I don't care if it...

    Texas CDL?

    Hey guys, I was searching the forum for a definitive answer to this topic: If I own a 5-ton truck, and I use it only for personal use (not hauling a whole lot, maybe 1-3k pounds), do I need the CDL? Some folks seemed to indicate that it wasn't required so long as my gross tonnage stayed under a...

    Starting-out concerns??

    Hey guys, some of you have seen me in the "new folks" threads. Basically, I wanted to put my mind more at ease by talking to you guys about purchasing a deuce or similar. To start: I've been offered to see/possibly ride in a variety of MV's by a member near my location, so I'll know exactly...

    That would be really cool. Let me see what I've got going the next few weeks, but I would definitely make a trip to Richwood. And thanks for the tips guys, I've begun reading my TM's.

    Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I guess I should state my intent, as it may help me decide (I hope this thread's in the right place). I frankly do not care about the widgets and doo-dads on this monster. It needs to run, reliably, with my regular maintenance (I have some experience working on...

    TM's? I'm still learning the language man lol. I know for sure I want a 2.5 ton, i'm just having a little difficulty navigating the forum. Trying to find if you guys use vendors or auctions more often, and figuring out all the knit-picky details that come when researching a hobby. I've started...

    Hey guys, nice to meet all of you. I'm from Texas, the southeastern region to be precise. I've been wanting to get a MV for the past three or four years now, and now that I've got a stable job I'm looking into getting one. You guys seemed knowledgeable and friendly, from what I could see outside...
