    Bobbing m35a3 keeping 6x6

    That makes very good sense. I think I am back in the bobbing mindset now though because I'm not sold on how the shortened truck looks. I also don't want to have to place the fuel tank in the bed. However, I truly appreciate these conversations because they really make my think through how I...

    Bobbing m35a3 keeping 6x6

    Respectfully, I think it is up to each owner to decide what they want to do with their MV. That is, as long as it isn't impeding on someone else's rights, breaking any laws, or putting anyone unnecessarily in harms way. There are purist who will always want to leave things the way they are...

    The reason this idea intrigues me is that if I did it I would be able to park in a normal parking spot without compromising payload capacity like I would if I bobbed it. I also think it would be nice to have the sharper turning radius. Both of these points would be beneficial if I started using...

    Not sure about the clearances of all the components. Turning radius should be tighter but may require a little more muscle since you are essentially shortening your turning leverage, which may amplify the drag on the tandems. It would certainly be COOL. I haven't considered this option as my...
