    Are they really worth it?

    I wouldn't call a stock HMMWV a comfortable ride by any stretch of the imagination, especially if you're tall like me. Evidently, the designers have never heard of ergonomics, and are all about 5' 2" tall. But they will go about anywhere with a halfway decent driver. I think they'll...

    Deuce that is slow to start.

    Your VFD SHOULD NOT be running that truck if you don't have the proper manuals and training for your Firefighters. I'm on a fulltime FD as well as a paid on call VFD. Our VFD requires that each FF receives 6 hours of drive time and operations on EACH truck BEFORE they can take it on an...

    Rear Passengers

    I don't know that attaching seatbelts to the benches would be the best way to do it. Since the stock bench is only secured at the hinge point, it may be better to secure the belts to the floor using grade 8 bolts and fender washers. Also a way to positively secure the bench in the down...

    increasing reliability and offroad performance

    Army70deuce, I know you want to keep the winch, but another option is to weld in a 2" receiver front and back and use an electric winch mounted in a cradle that will fit into the front or back receiver. That also gives you more flexibility in winching. You just need to run a line front and...

    New Guy posting

    Hello everyone! I'm eventually planning on buying a deuce since I sold my pickup (worn out) and I just can't see spending 40-50K for a new 1 ton. It will be a couple of years before I can afford to buy, but window shopping free right? Anyway, I have in mind some mods I'd like to do. I'm a big...
