I was reading another thread about making bad choices and this probably falls under that category. Background: I want a FV102 tracked vehicle (or maybe a CVRT). Thing is, my state won't let me drive it on paved roads, but there are LOTS of unpaved logging roads near me. I just need to...

Thanks for the replies. I was able to use the 10 to 6 adapters commonly sold on ebay, so, I suppose probably the 11.25. I know the HEMTT is 11.25.

I usually spend my time on in the Deuce threads, but I have several 10 lug wheels which someone suggested came off a M1076 trailer. I'm wondering, among the US military vehicles are all 10 hole wheels the same lug spacing, are the wheels interchangeable in that way? I know the offsets can be...

I went 10 pages deep and didn't see a thread like this, if there's one already, feel free to link it. I'm starting to think if the price if right I might be able to get a tracked vehicle, but I thought I'd ask people who own one (or more) what they do with theirs. I read the thread on...

Oh, hey, I can do that too! I'm also doing an engine swap, I'm just hoping it's done by Spring.

I've crossed mountain ranges 4 times with this truck, I know what it's like to hug the right lane, uphill in 3rd gear. And truth be told, I don't mind. You don't buy a Deuce expecting it to be something it's not. I really like the adaptation of the multifuel. No longer will I be able to...

Looks like I'll be doing an engine swap in the next few months. I'd toyed with it, but figured, realistically, it was at least 2-3 years in the future if ever. However a friend ran into a guy looking for a LDT-465 engine (I have 2) who happens to own three 6 BT's and he's got a full shop. So...

One alternative to the stock in-tank pump are some from aircraft tanks. They were pretty easy to find not too long ago, and far, far cheaper than stock. If you want to go that route, I could probably find you some part numbers.

My 395's (actually 15.5's) came on 50-50 offset wheels, probably from a M1076 trailer. The advantage to this is this offset means you don't have to worry about your steering hitting the tires. I have a full set for sale (dirt cheap), with adapter plates but shipping would be steep to LA. I...

That reminds me of the altimeter.

The main cluster will contain: Speedometer Tachometer (w/hours) Air psi Oil psi Water temp Pyrometer high beam indicator Now that that's out of the way, I am going to be installing an overflow cluster. I know that gauges can be crammed into multi units, but I like a separate gauge for each...

I'm designing my next house. Don't know when I'm gonna build it, but it's gonna have a 1500 sq/ft garage and capable of housing a HEMTT (along with my other vehicles) just in case I can swing one.

Driving a truck this size, on the highway, I don't see it as unsafe. Just stick to the right lane. I've put about 3k hwy miles on mine. I like to do 60 as that's the truck speed limit in my area and I don't like to feel like I'm holding people up unnecessarily. I've never had my truck very...

Is your shop a commercial truck tire place? I've found more of the commercial truck tire places will work with Deuce wheels than places that deal with mostly cars. For instance, and you might have these chains near you: Les Schwab won't touch them, but GCR will.

But once the truck got to rolling down hill, wouldn't it have cleared the ramps like it did in the video?

How do you have so much space between the air compressor pulley and the radiator??? I want to mount an A/C compressor and can't figure out where I can squeeze it in. I have 2 alternators on the other side.

For what it's worth, I would be less concerned about DOT and more concerned about insurance and/or jail time.

I'm a little late to the thread, but if you haven't made a solid decision yet, I would ask what you hope to do with your truck? For instance, I have and plan to travel extensively with mine, so good fuel mileage was important. Even among the A2's there are differences. The C vs D turbo's...
