I rent a house that belongs to a church, and I get to use their parking lot. where my truck sits you would never see it from the road if you didn't know it was there. As it sits there is only 2 houses that can see it.
I learned to drive a deuce/ stick with a load of kids in the back of the truck. Never stalled it out, no injuries not even a scratch on anyone or anything.
Just always remember how big, tall and wide it is, and you will do fine.
the "tan" one is just a little high, the camo one is way up there, in my opinion. I bought a winch truck for less then that and looks just as nice as that one, but mine does not have the hard top and no dropside.
When I first started looking to buy an deuce, I was looking at the M211 series due to the automatic transmission. (never learned to drive stick at that point).
So when I had the money I bought my 220, 3 weeks later my unit decided I needed to learn how to drive our deuce (M35). I fell in love...

Mine was not happy about mine coming home, but has come around to having it here. Actually the day I got it home she said, "its not as big as I thought it would be". so I guess I am clear for something bigger.
The vent was one of the first things I tried. Didn't want to make more work then I needed to, but the vent allowed air to pass...so, it was time to get messy.
Just looking at the truck, it looks hard. Actually doing it, it goes quick. And I was not using air tools, just a standard lug wrench...
It was a good day. Learned something new.
Took it out for a trip; no leaks, fluid levels still good. Even the lug nuts never loosened.
Only downfall was a little sunburn.
Today I set out with a goal.....to replace a rear axle seal.
This was going to be the first time I EVER did one. I was supposed to have a friend come over who knew how to do it. but we could never get the times to match to work on it. So I learned as much as I could from all the posts and the...
