    What did everyone get from Redstone today?

    No kidding. I thought my friends would be jealous of the deuce. It's 6x6, multi-fuel and can haul 10,000lbs. All they would say is "Why did you buy THAT?" and "Are you going to invade a small country?". I was thinking, why wouldn't you want one?

    Looking to buy first Deuce

    Bobbed deuces sell for a LOT more than the regular trucks. Around 2 or 3 times the price of a non-bobbed truck. If you want to save money, buy a regular one instead. Good luck on your truck hunt. Finding the right one is part of the adventure. Be sure to post photos here when you get one.

    End Use Certificate. It's a background check. GL requires it if you buy a vehicle from them.

    Anti-Theft System Suggestions?

    I searched before posting. Guess my search-fu wasn't very strong. I just want to stop some kid from jumping into it and driving over their friends. A starter cutoff is probably the best way to avoid this. Will I need a special 24-volt keyed switch for this, or will a 12-volt switch work okay?

    Anti-Theft System Suggestions?

    A keyed battery lockout was my first thought, but it seems these trucks can run without batteries. So if the truck were to roll fast enough down a hill, it would start anyways. Is there any other method to disable these trucks?

    Anti-Theft System Suggestions?

    Fuel pump cutoff is a great idea! The truck couldn't run without fuel. Would a 12-volt ignition work, or do I need to get something specifically for 24-volt? I've never owned a 24-volt vehicle before. Edit: D'oh! Guess that won't work.

    Anti-Theft System Suggestions?

    I recently purchased a deuce from GL, but haven't picked it up yet. Once it arrives, I'm a little concerned about theft. What do you do to secure an M35A2? I hear the government chains the steering wheels, but I'm not even sure how that works. Is it chained from the wheel to a bracket on the...

    A little EUC help please

    Just assume you are going to keep it. Looking at mine, I checked Boxes A and C. Under box A, I added "For Intended Use" and nothing below box C. The rest (B,D,E,F,G) have "Not Applicable".

    Deuce Bumper Letters & Numbers Decode

    A coworker of mine found this. Maybe HQ108 means the truck was awaiting reassignment?

    Deuce Bumper Letters & Numbers Decode

    Carnac doesn't recognize it either. I've already asked him. Maybe this truck was based at Area 51. :-D

    Deuce Bumper Letters & Numbers Decode

    I haven't picked up my truck yet, and I can't get the history from Carnac without the S/N. Does anyone know the bumper numbers on my truck? Left side: ICA Right side: HQ 108 4 Chvss65, hope you don't mind my asking this in your thread. It seemed like the appropriate place.

    Sounds like it's hit or miss with them. I've been eyeballing their website for a boarding ladder that will fit my M35A2.

    EUC - Such randomness!

    What's the general time from the EUC being submitted to Battle Creek, to GL issuing the invoice for pickup? Should I start making plans now, or is it going to be another month? I know time frames are wonky (hence this thread) but does this part usually happen quickly, or does it take several weeks?
