Good or bad idea...

BPJ911's committed. Even though it's something I wouldn't try, I wish him success.

As I approach 60, I can tell you that I've done plenty of stupid things in my life, and gotten away with most of them.

Also, I've been in situations where I had a picture in my mind's eye that I was sure would work, but I couldn't convey that picture to others.

Happy Trails, Bpj, keep us in the loop.

AMAZING how petty this thread quickly became (for some, not for all)...
Reminds me of Junior High...


Best of luck BPJ911! I hope it all works out well for you!
If I lived closer I would offer to pilot the chase-car on your journey.

Enjoy your new Deuce!! I'm sure it will provide you with MANY years & miles of enjoyment!

go for it

i put my 78 chevy blazer in the bed of my m211 and hauled it around for a couple of days,didnt havevthe tailgate on ,blazer was short enough that i dint need it,just be careful on the turns especially ifthey are not flat,moms driveway was sloped left to right about 1 foot drop and and dropped about 3 feet in 10 ft,thought the m211 was going to turn over when i turned in ,going out wasnt to bad,blazer had 35 inch tires and 6 inch suspension lift,chained its rear axle to the rear shackles, just remember how high the center of gravity will be when you are loaded,max out the pressure on the front tires,so when you brake the weight transfer might load up the front end of the truck,especially in a turn ,and i loaded and unloade the blazer at a truck terminal loading dock,,will try to find the pics,good luck ,keep your speed down and have fun,post pics

Great job! I came across this fun thread too late. I'd have done it too, with the boards as bed extenders, no problem. See attachment for proof. A big generator went into the M-105.
