I started my bobber project today, 8 inches and 53s is the intended result. I had planned to build a steering arm of some type maybe like what AlpokaFL has on his truck but if you have an idea for a drop arm that you wanna share I'd be interested to hear what you think would work. I figure Ill...

I was wondering the same thing.

Thanks BlackRock I have been following that thread myself. :-)

Thanks! That is a good read Im only about 1/2 way threw it but thanks!

I bought my 1st M35 and I get to go pick her up this week end, m105 trailer and all. I plan to bob it and use the Trailer box and springs in the build. I have seen pictures of guy that have 6-8 inchs worth of lift under the deuce with 53 inch or larger tires, that is kinda what I have in mind...

Im in Western SD, something in central/eastern MT would be fun.

After reading this post and many others I bit the bullet and bought a A2 with a 105 trail. :D

I didnt see the video the 1st time, nice toy but what was he thinking?

Pretty sweet !:-P

I'd really love to run 53s but this thing is going to be off roading way more then it will be on roading, so the rubbing is an issue for me. I might look into a small lift for the front end to see what it would take to run 53 with full articulation abilities.

Thats it, I couldnt rember what the prior owner called it. Thanks Jeff.

Yeah that is what I was looking at, I dont know if its really a "rebuild tag" from what Ive read sounds more like an up grade of some type. I wouldnt mind lifting the box to clear 16.00-20s but if wider rims are a MUST HAVE to run them I would like to know now rather then order them and...

I bought my 1st Deuce this morning, early 70s with a 105 trailer upgraded in 1991 according to the tag. This will be my Deuce Bobber project. I have read allot all over the web and here on SS but I have yet to get a common answer as to how large of tires you can run on a bobbed deuce . This one...

Just as soon I get them off and find the 49's to replace them:)

We do have 2 seasons here is South Dakota, Winter and Construction.....

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, I see there are a few guys from this part of the world here on SS that I know and a few that I have yet to meet.

If your just looking for materials to do the Armor job with you might google AR500 or Brillian 500 Steel. Both will stop or deflect .30 cal rounds a point blank range. I have some steel targets on the range that are made from them. Its not cheap but it works great. 3/8 will do pretty much...

I am pushing numbers around on my Bobbed build and was wondering what the going rate is for a set of 16.00x20 that are %85 or better. What can I expect to pay for a set of 4 and how might a person figure out a ball park price on freight for something like that?

I am thinking 2 door, I had a chance to read a couple threads on the 4 door conversion, very cool but not quite what I was hoping for. I am leaning twords the A2 hard top with a 105 box bob job using the 105 springs and 49" or 53" tires. Maybe moving the fuel tank into the box with a spare...

I just thought I would say hello to everyone here. I recently took an interest in MVs. The Bobbed Duece is what I am after, Ive spent alot of hours reading and I have had the chance to meet a few of the local guys who visit the site in person although I have yet to put user names with real...
