Thanks, I'm very excited! Less than 48-hrs to go!

You're assuming I have a place to keep it while people look at the add. Nah, it was better to just get the truck. I do have to sell my little trailer for my Jeep now (rear half of a 1972 Ford Courier). It was perfect for my Jeep, but my needs have changed & I don't have room for it anymore...

It is a really nice trailer, but my garage has only 5' left after the Deuce goes in so unless someone has a shrink/unshrink ray they could give me, I can't get the trailer.

I've been saving a long time & a big part of me finally being able to purchase was the inheritance my mother left me when she passed in Feb. She was also a vet (Korean War) & her little brother (my favorite uncle who has always been so nice to me since I was a kid) was a Vietnam vet so this...

She actually wanted to go and was looking forward to it like I was, but yes I think this is better & saving some $$$ by avoiding the recovery is always a nice. :naner:

The Lord works in mysterious ways. That has always been true, but it when I see Him taking my plans and sending me off in a completely different direction, it makes me stand back & say WOW! So, there is great news & a little bad news so I thought I would share. The place that was going to do...

Beautiful truck! I went yesterday to take a look at it & took it for a spin. I then put a deposit down on it & will be picking it up soon. My first MV and what an awesome example to start with. This is like going back to 1969 and getting one right off the assembly line. A very exciting day...

Can you post a picture of the tow bar assembled? Never seen one installed. Sounds like with the weight of the bars, the truck is going to be a crew served vehicle. I know God is my Co-pilot, but doubt he'll get out & do the lifting. :-D

I bought a come-along (hand winch) so if the tire falls over, I can hook to the side of the truck & ratchet it back up. Much better than pulling a muscle, tearing a ligament, or rupturing a disc on the side of the road. Also bought a 1-ton crane that is being mounted in the bed on the right...

Nice vid! Sure didn't look like that where I lived in Woomera. Reminded me of Germany with the tall trees & lots of moisture. The Deuce made it that much better. Amazing how well the case filtered out the engine noise. It sounded no louder than my wife's Honda. That is a good sign for...

Looks like you had a fun day. The air tool oil you added, did you put that just into the wiper pistons or somewhere else in the system? Also, great pics of your trip to the tipper. I did notice a picture in there from working on your rear driver side wheels & saw the bottle Jack under the...

I've seen one of those remote brake fluid reservoirs on a deuce. Where can I get one? Do you just fish the hose down to where you check the fluid level under the cab floor & just clamp it down over the top of that or is there more involved?

The app gets specific location info by locking to a minimum of 5 GPS satellites so it knows right where it is. It also has an accelerometer (my phone has 16-different sensors on it, including a gravity sensor). So then it's just measuring precise location changes over time. That is all it...

Thanks. I do have an app on my phone for that. Another useful tool for the Deuce.

That is awesome! Thanks you so much for the list! That price isn't bad for some peace of mind (when matched with vigilance).

I still like the anchor method of stopping. If the brakes fail, press a big red button on the dash & some dead weight gets ejected out of the bed on a chain to stop the vehicle. An old Cadillac would work well I think. :naner::naner::naner:

Same instances of break failure then with more weight needing to be stopped? Drat. I was thinking the M800 series would have air brakes like the M923 & that would alleviate the brake issues with the M35A2. If it is the same as the deuce, just larger, it isn't an advantage & not worth while to...

I thought the tester was for psi of the brake system or something like that. If it is just an accelerometer, yes, I have one of those on my phones already.

From what I've read here, because there is no throttle body, the multi-fuel engines don't provide much engine braking so that won't work. That was my thought too at the start. I'm still waiting for my deuce so can't say in a practical sense yet.

Just searched for both & found neither on ebay. Oh well, guess it is like hunting for dear. They aren't stocked on the shelves.
