    Deuce Loading Ramps?

    I'll be crazy with you. I love mine and keep one set in the back at all times. We picked up a chest freezer for my mom at Lowes a few weeks ago and the guys loading it thought it was great. We put the freezer on my dolly and rolled it right up, strapped it in, and we were off in minutes.

    Deuce Loading Ramps?

    That is what I have also, I have two sets and a single of the 12' ones from Rampco with a capability of 2800lbs each ramp or 6,000lbs hooked together. Two hooked and pinned means I can load a 12k pound load. I use them for getting the tractor across the creek after a "wash out" also. They are...

    Deuce Loading Ramps?

    I understand. I slide one of my 12's up each side when I have the box in it (box stops 6" from side rails). I just wanted to make sure you knew the 2ft makes a big difference when walking or loading something with a low clearance like a tractor with a deck on it or pallet dolly.

    Deuce Loading Ramps?

    Any reason you went with 10' and not 12'? It makes a big difference. With my 12's I can comfortably walk up them, load a tractor, or even unload items with a hand truck.

    Reverse / Backup Camera

    I have a 4"x7" TFT display with a distance grid mode. My camera also has IR for low light. It does not take place of the mirrors, but it is a nice addition. I have mine manually switched, and normally on because it's also nice knowing how close the idiot behind you is when you are in traffic...

    Over 12 Foot Wide Deuce

    I don't know why you are trying to argue these facts.... Everything you see on the internet is true.... I just don't have anything to say in regards to this video that wouldn't be inappropriate...... I'm just glad mine shrunk as it got older and it still fits on public roads and in parking...

    So....what do you guys exactly do with these trucks???

    Mine replaced my tired old one ton for a price that couldn't be beat and has been a joy to own. Whether it is hauling wood or stone on the farm, picking up a hot water heater from Lowes, or going out for breakfast with the kids, it always seems happy to do it (except on cold mornings when it...

    Recovered XM963 deuce prototype today.

    He won't have a chance to do anything with it. He will be visited by the men in fancy black SUV's asking him politely to cease and desist with his plans. The knowledge of how they got the 10 lugs on a 2.5T axle, brake actuation, and the secret of the door must never get into the hands of the...

    Russian Motorcycle seen in Blizzard in Indianapolis!

    I've worked with a few die hard riders. One gent (now retired) rode a Ural every day. He would stud the tires as well. He came rolling into the lot during a blizzard back in '96 with a snow shovel sticking out of the side hack. The guy with the most brass rode a beater '94 Roadking on snow...

    Fun in snow...

    It took about 20min per tire on the truck with an $80 siper/groover. My next attempt will be increasing the cross link size to 0.380". Even at the 0.250" that they are at currently, they don't clog up too bad and the pattern can be seen in light mud/dirt.

    Fun in snow...

    Looks like fun! Grooving does help both in snow and rain, but chains are a must in packed snow with the ND's. Here is a picture of my grooves.....

    Flat Spots on tires?

    As the others said...., they flat spot pretty quick. On a warm day mine take a few miles to round out. On cold days it can be 5 plus miles before they settle down. I just take it easy so it and I don't shake apart...
