sounds like about a 9 to 10K truck to me..... You have made all the mods I would have chosen! If i were to start over I would just buy your truck and save myself the headache and time and go wheeling!
I know all about buying high and selling low.. from my house to vehicles... deuces are not...
haha, thats what some people told me when I bought/ modded my Mil. truck! were they right? maybe, maybe not but I enjoy the process:naner:
I would like a similar system but for use in FUEL line for WMO.:shock:
New Ideas, methods, mods, products ect. should always be encouraged. Many times...
thanks for your thoughtful input, definatly worth considering,,, any 5T I might get would be a late 80's or newer.. i can do regular low level maint
if I could find one at reasonable price id get a unimog or Pinzgauer! I LOVE those drive line/ diff. systems!!
A3 was a consideration! but I hear they are much slower? and the motor is problematic?
I actually CAN change a wheel and tire 395/85 (not off the rim) I have done that recently on the street when I broke a valve stem and got a flat.. grrr at 320 lbs. I obviously couldnt lift one heh

The guy who's trucks I drove today also had odly enough a franken like yours w/ ROPS yr. 2013 (this is the...
Frank thanks for the suggestion,
as far as the Deuce I can do most common maintenance myself.. just cant do the larger heavier thing that require air tools
============================================================================
I am guessing I could learn on the 5T as well, I just wouldnt...
not with a 5T no...
The main and ONLY reason I went with a m35 VS. 5T in the first place was the Multi-Fuel because I could actually "AFFORD" to drive it on a regular basis! using WMO heh.
Now however, the situation has changed and I do not HAVE to run WMO/ so I can afford diesel.
On a side...
Thanks for more info!
as far as city driving I am referring to "suburb type" not inner city like a downtown environment.
My Deuce already has the larger 395 tires, how much different is the turning radius (for a u turn) between the two anyway?
Is MPG about 8-10 unloaded average driving an...

Thanks Amerteam! will do..
I am looking for a radiator for my M35A2. (locally OR or WA) that's why I posted here. If anyone has a lead on one (even if it needs MINOR repair), please look me up!!

I need to give my repaired radiator a good workout and check my new cargo cover tightness.. Heh
Just an update for anyone curious what happened...
I made it back to Portland about 22:30 :driver:
What happened.. I made too sharp of a turn in a very large parking lot in Hawks Prarie on Martin Way about 16:00p between the Winco and (not so) Great Floors.
the front tires dug into the...
