I have considered just using the drivetrain from say a international 6x6 commercial truck, I know they run more than 48mph with the Dt466.

But they do not have the torque or gear multiplication. I Would like to drive one, but have not seen one of interest for sale around here. I do not expect them to be quick or comfortable, I just want one. I have decided it is time in my life to get some of the things I want instead of holding on...

No, I have been researching. I probably need to sell my SR25 rifle (M110) to fund the purchase, or maybe just trade it to one. I have decided that I do not want a 5 ton (too big), but am uncertain about an A3 vs. an A2. I think an A2 might be fine with PS.

Good thought, I live IN the Smoky mountains (On a mountain).

Thanks for the replies.

Thanks

If the duece cant handle the 4.90, how does it handle 52" tall tires? They seem to increase the top speed by effectively raising the ratio. Not trying to argue, just trying to understand. I was actually expecting only a bobbed duece would be changed to the 4.90 for daily or often use.

Any one here running 4.90:1 ratio gears instead of the 6.72:1? How did it affect the driving (acceleration,cruising speed etc..)? Thanks

That is a weird shift pattern. Thanks everyone.

This was his actual e-mail to me. (There is a gear where the 5th is but it seems lower. Seems like 5th is where 4th is)

I bid on a duece on ebay (120703059812). I noticed from the pictures that the 5th gear indication on the dash plate was Xed out with paint. I asked the seller about it and he reponded that the truck has a fifth gear but it seems lower than 4th gear. Is it possible to reverse 4th and 5th gear...

And I am very appreciative of all the responses. Thank you all for answering my question clear enough that even I can understand. Thanks everyone.:-)

I have read these forums for several months before joining so that I might ask questions. I find that most post seem to be one sided in favor of an individuals personal taste. I am desiring facts, generally derived from people experienced with all or most of the areas in question. I wasnt...

This is the sort of reply I was looking for. I have searched theses forums for months now,I was not looking for (I like this or that, only actual experience based facts) Thank you for the informative reply.

What is the difference between singles and duals regarding driving and on/off road capabilities? I also note that there are various sizes of super singles available, how do the different ones affect the trucks driving? Thanks

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like the rugged look.

What is the difference between bobbed and un bobbed in regards to towing ability, offroad ability, Ride quality (with duece front springs in rear), and fuel mileage? Thanks

Thanks for the replies . I have no desire for the winch, bows, troop seats etc. . I really want a truck that I can use on ocassion, and will probably customize with the creature comforts. IE soundproofing, stereo,A/C etc..

I watched these trucks sell for $3900 to $4400 with one going for $5800. They were F7 and were driven on lot I believe. Is this about the going price at GL? I see them advertised later on e-bay for $8500 - $13000. Just wandering if I should go through GL. Opinions wanted. Thanks
