Correct; states interpret the federal law differently. But a commercial drivers license is for commercial vehicles OVER 26 K and/or towing OVER 10k lbs. Hhy do you think Dodge sells brand new pickup trucks with a tow capacity of 33 K lbs and people not need a CDL? How do all these large boat...

there hav ebeen a few sold recently with Fording kits installed, these are reportedly only Army surplus trucks.

Actually it isn't a government concoction. Benz was putting loaders and backhoes on Unimogs long before our government decided to enlist them into US military service. It is actually really good at doing what it was enlisted for "Emplacement" of weapon positions, digging fox holes etc. It is...

Thanks guys... I guess I should pay better attention :)

The magnets are a good idea. I would try cow magnets from the local farm supply store, they are only a couple of bucks and have rounded edges.

Is it the V12? Cut the catalytic converter out of that thing and sell it, It has a good bit of platinum in it. Something like 1200 worth. Get a new ring made for her and crush the rest of the car.

Does anybody else have issues with current bids not updating? I have tried to view on my computer and my phone and have the same issue each time. Until the item closes it only shows minimum bid. So if I bid on an item it will let me bid minimum and just says I was outbid. It doesn't update my...

I wouldn't go that far.... just a comfort snob... If I drive my wife's Honda Odyssey 200 miles and I am flat out on my back for a day with muscle spasms and pinched nerves.

The worst one I had was the 72 with the box seat. My 89 A2Cs with the springer seats are better, but still not what I would call driving in comfort. But that may have to do with the fact that I am a former commercial truck driver and used to air ride cabs and lots of leg room.

How tall are you? I am 5, 10 and the Deuce cab is just too small for me to drive any distance comfortably. If you are tall definitely look for one with the adjustable spring seat as it will give you a little better comfort. There are guys on here who drive theirs pretty regular and can give you...

Lets be honest though guys... look what people will pay for a Gama-goat in good running condition or a MUTT most of which cannot be registered. Many MV guys own large amounts of vehicles they don't even drive, to say nothing about drive on the road. If I do buy one I am going to get it titled...

Perhaps he sold off the pump unit and offset the cost of the truck that way.

If I did that I could only move about 5 foot forward and back.... I might do it anyway :D

For what he said they have into it the truck must have been close to free.... may be it was donated for the show.

Yes... all three episodes are veiwible on the link I posted.

From the US Army or German? I didn't think Germany owned any. If it is the US Army it would not surprise me... We waste a lot of stuff. I grew up close to a closed radar base in the northeast. When they closed the base after WW2 all the jeeps and equipment on base was pushed into a hole and...

I am interested to see what happens to prices as the sales continue. Looking through various classified sources the recently released trucks are starting to show up on the re-sale market in the high 20s-low 40s. I am not sure that is sustainable considering that 4000 are approved to sell and not...

found it: http://www.powerblocktv.com/episode/XT2010-07/military-6x6-bobbed-deuce-part-ii#.VPXzgvnF9E4 You could do the same thing without shortening the truck.

Extreme 4x4 did an episode where they bobbed a deuce and put airbags under it. If you can find that episode it will give you an idea on the parts you would need for the airbag system... and the onboard compressor is plenty to run it off of.

Frank; I just mentioned lengthening as an option later on if you wanted to bob in now. I think singling out the rears is a great idea. Depending on how you set it up you may actually gain load capacity. I once put 5 ton of rock on one of my deuces and it had no suspension left. I see no reason...
