    Deuce with snowmobiles 4-10-10 (pics)

    All those pictures are in the middle of Medicine Bow National Forest. With less people around the NFS lets you use the forest for recreation however you like to do it. They tend to close things when they are being over used. I grew up outside Boston and all the State and National Forest land...

    Deuce with snowmobiles 4-10-10 (pics)

    When the big snows happen we get good and stuck. In 2-3 feet of powder we are fine. Lots of horsepower and the long tracks with 2 inch paddles help. The sleds will do 100 mph but in the deepest powder that might be 5 or 10 mph at full throttle...... Or stuck. Riding full throttle all day in...

    Charging two batteries from dual charger

    I tried for 3 months to revover 2 ammasafe batteries that came in my deuce. They were manufactured 9 of 06. I was never able to get them to come back to life. They would only work when it was warm out. I was using a 24v BatteryMinder from Northern. Nice charger but the batteries were too...

    Deuce with snowmobiles 4-10-10 (pics)

    We get to ride wherever we want here. The Snowy Range in S.E. WY is awesome. 300 miles of groomed trails and more ungroomed backcountry trails than you could ever explore. We get over 350 inches of snow up there each year. The deepest storm this year was an honest 4 feet in a single storm...

    Sale 5165 EUC question

    When I did my first EUC I found the thread here that outlined exactly what to check/write. Very helpful. The EUC is a big pain. My buddy just got one sent back for revisions. They said Laramie WY was not acceptable. They wanted WYOMING spelled out and not abreviated. I submited an EUC for...

    Deuce with snowmobiles 4-10-10 (pics)

    Took the deuce up the mountain for some snowmobiling yesterday. Couldn't have been a nicer day. The truck ran like a champ. The picture at the parking lot is 10,000 ft. The other pics are up to 12,000 ft. It is still winter in the high country.

    It's worth the wait. My first was 60 days but the second took 3. :doh:

    What did I get myself into?

    Pay a little extra and have it shipped. It is worth it to have it home to work on it. Looks like a turbo. It also has an air shift front axle. The leak doesn't look bad. Easy fix, probably the breather gasket. Missing the light swithes. (oval hole left of steering column.) The stake sides...

    $50 HMMWV in a crate?

    I saw it too and was wondering how high it would go. Thats a lot of $ for just a body.

    Tow Chains for the Deuce

    Agreed. The good straps have just loops at the end. Use BIG clevises to attach them.

    Tow Chains for the Deuce

    You are right on about durability. A strap is easily dammaged but will handle the forces you need if cared for properly.

    Tow Chains for the Deuce

    The problem is the "jerk" on the chain. The chain may be rated at 18,000lb but a dynamic load will quickly go beyond the limits of the chain. A recovery strap stretches and spreads the instant force over time. Newtons laws of motion state F=ma. Force is equal to mass TIMES acceleration. When...

    I'm gonna pick up a Deuce on Tuesday!

    Nice truck. I did a radiator repair last week. The upper hose is 6" of straight 2" hose that I picked up at NAPA. The # is 24032 (part # interchange list) but just buy bulk hose. A 2 1/4" hose clamp was just barely too short. The lower is #7372 with 1" cut off each end. Change the belts...

    common problems w/ your m35 when you picked it up.

    When I bought mine from GL it said nothing about running or not. Looked real clean and had a B4 condition rating. When I picked it up it had extras that were not advertised. New tires, heat and a brand new cargo cover. The batteries were dead but the GL rep jumped it for me. Don't expect...

    Xtreme 4X4 Deuce bobbed(Spike TV)

    I watched the episode this morning. Haven't watched the show in a year or two. I was dissapointed as usual. No real explanation of how things were done. A quick time lapse of flipping hubs without letting anyone know how much of a pain in the ass it is. Ian then said that they only have...
