:idea: Now, there was a bolt sticking through the floor under the throttle pedal on this truck. I just noticed it when I was climbing in. I'm not sure if it is limiting the pedal travel, or is still allowing 100% throttle input...but it is there. It's definately something I'll look into. The...

Well I met "rampli" today to check out and test drive his M35 he has for sale. Very nice truck he's got. I have never driven, or even rode in one before, but was very suprised at how smooth everything was. It rode better and was quieter than my 'Yota (thanks to the muffler he installed). It...

Thanks again for all the replies (both helpful and not...lets me see both sides of the story). Just to make myself clear, my biggest concern is the reliability of the dravetrain (Engine, tranny and T-case specifically). Creature comforts and the like are a moot point, as my '85 Toyota is...

Yeah, we do have quite a bit of hills around here (not mountains however...well...not where I'll be towing), but the maximum speed limit on my routes will be 45mph. It takes me 20 minutes to get to where I'll be going in my truck. So if that stretches to 40 minutes with a Deuce...that's...

Well...I'm still trying to convince myself that I need one of these things over a more practical and reliable pickup. Everyone I talk to is trying to talk me out of the Deuce. Now I admit, it's not the most practical, or best tow-rig out there...but damn is it cool :-P The biggest topic in...

Trust me, manual steering and a rough ride are the least of my worries. My DD is an '85 Toyota with manual steering (on 33x12.50 tires). The suspension in it is so worn out it, the front leaf springs are in a severe negative arch and are nearly at the bump-stops. Needless to say, "Rides...

My buddy actually suggested that at one point. For one, it would be way too top-heavy. My Bronco weighs around 5000lbs as an estimate. It stands over 6.5 feet tall (without the 6" lift that is about to go on it), so I would be cutting it close with some of the low bridges, powerlines, and...

Thanks again for the help everyone. I think ya'll have helped me make up my mind :twisted: I guess it's all up to the bank now...

Perfect! Thank you for the pictures...that almost looks factory :-P Flea: Thanks for the hitch suggestion. I will look into it when I get off of work tonight. hobie237: I have thought about the parts aspect of this and the meticulous maintenance these things need. Compared to some...

OK, I am pretty big into offroad, and have built up a '78 Bronco for trails and mud. Non-street-legal of course, and currently I have nothing to tow it with. I was thinking about getting a Deuce to use as a tow rig. I've always wanted a Deuce anyways :-D Distances would be about a 50-mile...
