    M35a2 with Cab Guard/Back Rack

    yeah that thing will put holes in a cover in no time, I'd say remove it once you get the cover if you buy the truck. I really dont know if it hurts the value or not. I don't know of any hard core deuce collectors, or anyone that will bash something like that. Everyone seems to modd their deuce...

    What a difference a Turbo makes

    as far as I know the D turbo is way quieter (had a D and switched to a C.) I think the D puts out a tiny bit more HP. I think my D turbo is still laying around someplace. But a muffler is a good idea if you want to keep your hearing without wearing hearing protection (but it is still...

    Tarp fix question

    I have the newer camo cargo tarp on my truck, the plastic type material one with rubber bungee like cords to hold it down. Anyways it is coming apart at the seam in one spot. So my question is what type of glue should I use to fix it? Has anyone on here had this problem?

    Picked up my friends M1009

    Well my day started out at 3:30 am today. My friend and I headed up to Fort McCoy to pick up his M1009. They said it was towed on to the lot, so when we got there they tried to jump it with no luck. So they helped us load it on the trailer, the back wheels just fit but the front ones were riding...

    M37 Recovery

    if you are trailering it I would go side to side (left to right, right to left.) I have heard of some states that have that as a law that all trailered cars must be tied down like that. Use 4 chains or straps 2 front and 2 rear. It also depends what type of trailer you use, some rentals come...

Does anyone have any advice? It seems that the thing to air them up is to take off the outer tires, but...
