    What do you do for seeing behind you?

    Several years ago before my MV ownership, I learned that I had my mirrors set wrong on my little truck, and have been a firm believer of the change ever since. I had watched an informative video, kind of like this one (it was a better made video, but you get the idea)...

    NDT Tire Wear, alignment good, next step suggestions?

    I realize that there are a lot of threads on this. I have stock 9.00x20 NDTs, and my deuce does have the extra weight up front of a winch. I check tire pressure regularly and run them per TM specifications of 50 PSI. Due to outside wear, or cupping, of the Passenger Front tire I thought I had a...

    Posting pictures of PNG type defalts to very small size

    Posting pictures of PNG type defaults to very small size Is there a preference setting I can change when posting images of type "PNG" so that said PNG images are much larger? Uploading JPGs seems to default to the largest allowed size, however, when I upload PNGs it seems to default to the...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Hello 5-Ton Forum! As the saying goes "Long time reader, first time poster" - or something of that flavor. I have a 1972 AM General M35A2 and I just picked up a 1972 AM General M816 Wrecker. In my opinion, think of a truck where the previous owner never did their PMCS (Preventative Maintenance...

    Installed NOS Lollipop Lights

    Not a new thing for most, but I'm sure some have not seen, or would like to see, the "lollipop" lights on a deuce. These mount to the same two bolts that the front blinker lights mount to, but face reward instead. Due to some recent trips on crowded highways, and traffic moving much faster...

    Fall in Cache, UT

    Short trip in the ol' deuce up to Cache Valley, UT for a family get together this last weekend. Was actually my first trip to my Mother's place in the deuce. My little dog doesn't care for her "Mutt Muffs" but she did keep them on and sleep like she always does on road trips. I got them for...

    M105A2 Water Pooling Prevention

    So a while ago I read about different methods folks used to help prevent water pooling on their cargo cover in between the bows on their trailer, and one fellow posted a picture of what the military suggested (which I can't seem to find...). But anyway, it was to place a piece of wood on top...

    Light Wood Hauling

    Drove a little over 70 miles (hey, that's a record so far for me and my deuce) into the mountains S.E. of Kamas, UT (Mill Hollow) to go wood "hunting" with my brother. Turned out to be poor wood gathering spot (and a lot of work to turn the deuce and trailer around), but I thoroughly enjoyed the...

    Strength of fiberglass sides?

    I'm thinking of using my M105A2 to haul a cord of firewood. However, I do have some concern with the strength of the sides on the trailer. Mine are fiberglass and are in excellent condition. A perfectly stacked cord of wood is 128 cubic feet - even poorly stacked the trailer will not be full...
