That's probably the way I'm going to go. I'll try and make some tool boxes for under the cab or under the bed to keep the bed clear. We mostly use square bales of t@a for the horses and round bales in the pastures for the cattle. How hard would it be to put a goose neck hitch in the 105? I've...
You're just talking about not converting to 4x4 right? Or are you talking about the CC idea too? I can definitely see the appeal in leaving her 6x6 but I need a Crew Cab.
Thank you. I'm starting to lean that way. I've driven tons of duallies but never anything with 2 rear axles. I'm sure it won't be an issue if so many people use them as they are.
Camoyj7, how difficult is it backing up with the two rear axles? I know if i back up my goose neck to tight and too slow the axles tend to hop a little. Most of the time spent in the deuce will be off pavement but I don't want to be tearing up gears or tires. After contemplating the extra length...
That's an idea. Worse comes to worse and i can box the frame and stretch it. Or sell the 12' bed and find an 8'. I hate cutting up something that someone can use.
Camoyj7, I read your build thread and that actually prompted me to sign up here and start really planning. So thank you for the inspiration man. But anyway, do you think it would be better to stretch your 35 frame or start with a 36? I thought I read you answering that in your thread saying you...
Thank you for the lead. We won't be moving up to Ocala from Sanford for about a year. So at the moment I dont have room for the Deuce. I just want to get everything lined up to start as soon as we get settled in. My current 2011 Ram 1500 won't last long taking care of 30 acres with a few dozen...
I have gotten by with an 8' truck bed all these years so if making a CC with a 12' bed is going to be too long to maneuver around the property then I'll go with the 8' cargo bed.
Thanks for the welcome.
Is the M36A2 much taller than the 35?
And ScubaCat, I was hoping to be able to carry a Gang Box or something similar in the bed but still be able to carry 8' plywood or 10' 4x4's etc. Also hauling hay bails without a trailer is very enticing to me. So keeping maximum...
First, my name is Justin, I'm new to SS. I've always wanted a MV since my family is all retired Service members but haven't ever had the means. My wife and I are buying 30 acres in Ocala, FL and I want to build an M35A2C for my work horse. Hauling hay, fence, trailers, tractors etc.
Now to get...
