I noticed the lights as well. I just bought a NOS tank headlight to put on my M35A3 bumper. It has a low and high beam. I'd like to find a toggle switch for the dash for on/highbeam and off. Any ideas?

I put the switches for my front floods on an angle bracket on the leftside of the dash right at the door under the dash. Easy to find at night. I also added another light just like it on the rear of the truck that way I can have a backup light that I activate manually at night for easy visibility when reversing.

Yep, I have more 900x20's than I need. I think Joel or Clint were wanting a few but I think one of them was wanting them new which I don't have.

I don't want, I need some 9:00 x 20's, but I do want new, or near new tires. Too much work to put anything less than 85% tread on a wheel.

It'll do 61 according to the GPS but that's right at the edge of redline. I still need to get a ratio converter. I'm kind of curious if there's a different Winch/Speed/Gear data plate for the 1100s on the M35A2s.

Clinto, when are you looking for 9x20's? I have a complete spare set that I am upgrading to 12.5's. As I said before we will be in Atlanta in the spring; we could work a deal.

Bloody heck, I'd love some British Combat rims for my deuce. Easier to break down with an impact gun and a lever. No fiddling with the rim and a damn bloody duck bill hammer. And you can add runflat inserts/beadlocks easily.

a quick p.s. Brittish millitary tyres have higher side walls as a rule..and so my ride hieght is increased more than U.S. equivelants.
