One closed at $12k and the other was $17.5k! They were both pretty cherry. From the pics it looked like all the important bits were there and CTIS computers were even online. I know a lot of you deuce purists loath them, but if I had the cash I'd drive one in a heartbeat.

There was a group of T16's that came up for sale in the last year out in Arizona. They needed completely restored, but all of the important parts were there. They were listed for $8000.

Hi Peter! Velkommen to the SS family. Your English is a lot better than my Danish! I have always liked the looks of a diesel FV432. Some of those are showing up at military vehicle importers here in the US, but the money and transportation issue kills...
Ignoring all of the political, bureaucratic, red-tape type stuff for a minute, let's talk about your trip. I have no doubt that a properly prepared deuce could make that kind of trip and survive in Mexico no matter the conditions of the roads. The best thing you can do is take your time...
The Cummins 5.9L Dodge trucks have these crank vapor hoses too. The later ones came with a canister to collect any drips. The problem was some folks didn't empty the canisters and they ended up spewing on the ground anyways.
It would be easy to add a collection bottle to a deuce. I have...
Good thing the windows are tinted. Now nobody will break in to steal it ;) I had always planned to add the factory rear sliders to my M1009 top. The extra ventilation would have been nice since opening the rear window just filled the truck with dust and diesel smoke.
I titled a M1009 in WV that I purchased from GL. This was back in 2003. GL gave me an SF97 with the DRMO as the seller and GL as the buyer. I took that along with the BOS I printed off of the GL site. I had to go through around 4 or 5 DMV employees before they finally gave me a title for it...
I installed EGT gauges on both of my Dodge Cummins trucks. I installed them pre-turbo in the rear passage of the split manifold. The first one I did with a greased bit/tap and then used a magnet to get any remaining shavings. The second one I did without the grease, just cutting oil. I...
Make sure you add some reinforcing on the inside of the body where it mounts. I have seen some civi carriers rip right off the body after stress cracks got the best of the mounts.
Dang Sarge! Glad you are OK buddy! That sounds like a nasty experience. All of my OTB experiences were off-road. One was on a KX80, then on a YZ80, then finally on a XR500. I don't brand discriminate when crashing.
ForeverU, was that neck brace just a precaution or did you break something?
Re: RE: beach ralley
Ha, yeah, I missed that completely. I think we were talking about 9/07 at Aberdeen. That's what threw me ;)
Good to see you back here Gilbert. I still think the beach rally is a cool idea! My son will be about 13 months next year so it will be much easier for me to...
