Looks good. Have you considered relocating the tanks and battery boxes into the bed for extra clearance?

I had that exact 14.00 recap tread on my deuce when I bought it. It was on the drive axle and worked ok. It wasn't that great off road (filled up with mud quick) and I'm not a fan of recaps so it found its way to the spare tire pile quickly.

Is anyone available to do an inspection on 5 tons at Fort Jackson? Thanks.

That's pretty sharp. Anybody ever use these systems before?

I especially like the minigun on top. Nothing says "I love you" like 6,000 rounds a minute.

That sounds a little scary. :whistle:

I like these especially for off roading as the are semi-flexible. Not too wild about the cost though at $90 each. TruckStar Galvanized Wire Cable Step — 9in. x 12in. | Steps| Northern Tool + Equipment

I agree. It can be a confusing subject and it's good that someone takes the time to help clarify it.

Best way to remove the rivets is cut the heads off and torch a hole into the body of the rivet. Then use a BFH and punch them out. Grade 8 bolts will do the trick.

While I was looking in TM 9-2320-361-20 on page 4-45 (in the electrical section of all places) there is a picture of airpack and how to replace the stop light switch. In that diagram it shows the brake line from the top of te airpack going to the front and a brake line on the lower side driver's...

I'm currently restoring a M275 and came across a dual circuit brake system that I'm installing since my brake system was completely shot. I've looked at SMARPI 9-2320-209-14 and since it's based on a M35 chasis and not a M275 there a few plumbing questions I had on this upgrade. Most of it is...

That's a "clue"

It all depends on your abilities and resources. Bobbing a deuce isn't terribly difficult if you have the right tools. Bobbing requires much less fabricating skills than a quad cab, so it might be a good idea to bob a deuce first to get comfortable with the truck and then look at the quad cab...

Is Army steel better than Navy, Air Force, or USMC steel? This just proves that there is no shortage of idiots....

Chuckstrucks also has a classified section for off road stuff for guys in the Florida and Southeast region.

The only way to over come the weight issue of uparmoring a deuce is through the use of kevlar, ceramic, or aluminum. None of these are cheap. Just making the cab bullet resistant (nothing is bullet proof) is expensive and is your best option to cut down on overall weight issues. A 5ton gives...

Did we convince you or did the price convince you????

"Rollarounds" is a popular term used by the swamp buggy crowd for tires used to roll thier buggy's around when they have to take thier R&C tires off. It's not used that commonly here though.

I'm not sure on the year of the donor truck but it is a late 80's USAF truck. I'm not seeing the ear for attaching the PTO. If you could grab a picture that would be much appreciated. That link was also very helpful. Thanks.

Has anyone solved the issue of how to mount the PTO linkage when doing the dual circuit upgrade? Thanks.
