What makes a deuce a deuce?

[elkhunter]

A "DUECE" is a "DUECE"!!! Too bad they changed to another style! I think most people recognize them. What a truck series.

Three axles, six-wheel drive and a 2-1/2 off-road rated carrying capacity. A bobbed "deuce" would not fit that category.

took my deuce to a mud run in NC ONCE. Went back the next time, and the owner of the park had bought 3, and had sidelined his bulldozer and was using a deuce to recover stuck trucks.

I took my M109 through- slow but steady. Made all those guys jelous with the extra drive axle!!

I just love everything about them.

My deuce is a deuce because it's been TWO years since I brought it home, and nearly TWO years since I've seen it!!!

For me a deuce is a deuce:

That loud obnoxious buzzer that quiets a little when the starter button is pushed followed by that waking of the beast. The feeling of sitting on top of a jackhammer at full work capacity. Plus the unknown factors in the back of my head which tell me I possibly won't have brakes at the next stop light so start backing off of traffic 10 miles from the light Of course, the rubber necking of individuals out on their quiet strolls.

Plus a deuce is a deuce because it is unmolested and still retains it's 3 axles and 10 NDT tires. Plus if an axle were removed, it would just be glorified pickup truck and no longer a deuce
