Mine has the clunk on low speed. I have looked closely at the set up and noticed that the springs can move around in there perches. Note the the rear axel on the FPU does not steer. When you turn sharp, lots of force is put on this axel. To reduce the clunk I start out by driving forward then...

I saw the same thing and decided to confirm this with gl. It's correct. I was told my sf97 was mailed yesterday. With any luck I will be dealing with the local DMV. They have been good so far but am concerned about t He gvw being so high. Will try to register as farm truck. Pete

These are great pictures showing that even though retired, they are still up to civi duty. I think every farmer or rancher would be well served by these trucks. No stop light duty is fun duty!

Looks like the most engineered way to solve this issue is to consider what I have suggested earlier-tag the front axel. Just use a push up air bag and a push down one for the suspension. A super short tandem truck over a set of rail road tracks may very well send you into the oncoming path of a...

Stop parking your duece in the panty wearing parking spot. Leave the axel's where they are-find a different spot to park. Stuff is engineered for a reason-longevity, function and safe operation. These trucks can get out of shape real easy when hitting a rough patch of road at a decent speed...

Steering and handling will be compromised (ever drive a CJ5 and a CJ7). The front will tend to push through corners-understeer. The mid axel will fight hard when turning and will scrub off lots of tire tread. Perhaps if you really wanted to do this, you would make the forward axel more of a tag...

Another local guy-welcome. There are a few of us on the northwest side-Forest Lake, Blaine adn White Bear. Scott in Blaine is a great source for parts and help. Pete

Thanks to Ron and Wreckerman and Andy1234 for all the help in getting my MK48 home to Minnesota. Complicated recovery and logistics unlike that of a Duece or even a 5-ton. Andy arranged the truck and trailer-he gets the credit. It was nice, low and easy to back the truck from trailer. Truck was...

My truck has finally arrived here in the great northern woods. She fired right up and was very easy to back off the truck. Will take a little getting used to-drives different than anything I have ever driven. My truck shows 2,200 miles and appears those are actual. There are no leaks...

Thanks Wreckerman. You are seemingly able to keep a cooler head than me on this sort of fiasco. Pete

The team needs to pomp up for extraction duty! Pete

Your A3 has a late serial number and the fiberglass hood making it much newer than a 93. I have a 95 that has a serial of around 1600 or so. Good score-looks like a nice truck. Going to 395's will make it even better yet. You may find your speedometer is more accurate too. Pete

Two cats under the hood.

I lived in a Fiat 128 back in 1981. Spent a winter in it. Showered at a buddies place and a community college when the opportunity presented itself. Lived off of 35 cent loaves of bread at the tech school I went to-one loaf a day was it-put ketchup on it to spice it up. Was able to move out of...

You have lots of choices with camping in the Duece being one of them. I would go for it. Try not to sink to much into your "camper" and have an adventure. Pete

That is a great looking dialed in Duece. Pete

Perhaps the actual governor on these trucks will be the driver. Given they are articulated, 57 MPH may be actual white knuckle territory. Maybe thats not so fast when there are no obstacles around you, but driving in traffic with a Honda to the right and a Fiat to the left.... Pete
