Tamangel, Thanks for the info and pics. I can see from the pics that the green bed is an actual shipping container. I was told be a dealer that a lot of the weight on the containers comes from the end corners. Weight is one thing on my mind. This container, Based on the data plate, weights...

I Posted before about my plans. Well this past week I was able to start working on them. I am making a RV out of my M36a2. It has a longer bed to accommmodate the larger family. I am making the camper box out of a shipping container. I ordered a 40' container, took 17.5 feet for the RV and...

The family is coming. Just to let you know, I am bring the m36a2 and I am selling the troop seats. They might fit a 5 ton. They are 17.5 feet long. I will be there Sunday morning. I start working on the off road RV next month and I can't store the troop seats. If interested look for the...

BAD NEWS GUYS!!! I just talked to Bruce somebody and he informed me that under no circumstances are people allowed to ride in the back of the deuces without seat belts. Their insurance wouldn't allow it. Parking lot trip might be ok, but not the trails. Can't fit everyone in the cab, so I...

Quick question. I checked the rules and regs on the web site and it says all passengers must have seat belts. Can people ride in the bed if we have troop seats? I called to ask but no answer, I left a message and haven't heard back yet.

Maddawg, I've got plenty of room in the M36. I have troop seats, but shot gun goes to the kids. Not even the old lady gets that close to me. Wildchild- I have two jerry cans I bougth from Northern tool and equipment. Not for sale, but I could put some diesel in them if need be. I coated the...

What time do you expect to get things rolling on Saturday Morning. We don't want to miss some of the fun, and where will we be staging at? The place looks quite big and I thought it might be a good idea to know where the meeting point is. Maybe exchange a few cell numbers. We will have cell...

Count my clan in. We'll be there early Saturday morning. Can't stay over night. Might sound crazy but if you guys think it might come in handy, I could bring out the Miller 250 bobcat welder/generator. Thought it might come in handy for emergency repairs. Just let me know. We'll have about...

I plan on tearing into the front end, but for now I will most likely get the zipper replacement. I just checked the torn one and it is a zippered kind. Too much snow here and cooler temps for me to rip into the front axle. I just want to get it done and hopefully make Rausch creek. I took a...

Anyone know who sells the zippered replacement steering knuckle boots. I had the drivers side tear a day or two ago on the M36a2. Just need the replacement boot and some warmer weather.

I would love to attend the event in April. Just let me know what weekend you guys have set. Juat wondering if this is a family safe thing. I have two smaller futre MV owners at home and I am sure they would love to see the trucks. Will probably bring two vehicles. Tne M36a2 and the Dodge...

Thanks for all the replys. I thought about a 280 shed. I had to google teh 280 to figure out what it was. I have two of them. Dad always refered to them as radio sheds. He seen them used in Vietnam. The problem with them is the size. can't fit a family of four in one of...

I though about an alum. box but I seen my neibor hit a tree branch with his camp trailor and tear a hole in the side. I decided the steel walls would hold up much better. I checked the weight specs with a dealer. The 40 have a empty weight of 8000 The 20 are 4400. The reason for the heavy...

I'm looking to get a deal on a 40 foot shipping container. I'm going to cut it in half and use one half for storage and the other half I plan on using to fabricate a camper on the back of my m36. I will need it deliverd to my property in Easton, PA using a roleback. I plan on starting the...
