    Newb here, question from the wiser Deuce owners

    I'm buying an m818 and m872 and tarp before I move again.

    Newb here, question from the wiser Deuce owners

    Though trip either way. I've done it 3 times in a 26' Uhaul. 56mph governed. The drive though NM and west Tx is a nightmare at that speed. I would buy a truck after moving. Of course my workshop, alone, will not fit on a deuce. Good luck either way. If you come through Tucson feel free to look...

    LDT-465 in a daily driver?

    A 50+ year old design with that kind of track record. By modern standards weak? Perhaps. By my standards it is pretty cool. My 03 SD 6.0L has 350hp and 525ft/lbs by comparison. While the emissions are considerably lower the MPG is not much better and at half the weight. These trucks are like...

    Nutro, M35a2-AZ is letting me use his tow bar. I appreciate all the offers. Thanks

    Headed to San Antonio

    Don't worry, I am not planning to tow to deuce on the highway. If I pull it anywhere it will be a local lot or a shop just off base where I can work on it. I am not looking to get myself or anyone else squished. I already have a commercial insurance policy on it that will cost me almost $1000 a...

    Headed to San Antonio

    I will be going to San Antonio 5/9/11 I will be empty, less items essential to recover an M35. If you need an inspection, I will try. If you need someone or something transported, I will try. Persons/items must be legal.:-) I will be driving an F250 SBCC. I can drag almost anything and have...

    Tex If the proverbial $h!t hits the fan would you consider being my emergency contact? I'm looking for someone local to put out the call if I get stuck. Hopefully won't need it, but it pays to be prepared. At least a shoulder to cry on or someone to point me toward a place to get a drink in...

    I really appreciate it but I don't know how I would get it back to you. Shipping on these things is a nightmare I am sure. Freight I suspect. I thought the heavy bar was in the 200# range??? With feet and what not. Thanks

    Man you are a rock-star. If we do this, is there a day of the week that is best for you? I really could not expect or ask you to drive that far for me. I can load up in the wifes little Dakota and be there in a few hours on a day of your choosing.

    Yeah, if I can I will certainly look at whatever you like. I was going to post a "Preview/do you need anything hauled thread" in the next day or two. I really hate spending all that time and money driving an empty truck.

    That is very generous. I may take you up on it. The only problem is you are 180 mile in the opposite direction. If I were to take you up on it I would have to drive up there on, Sunday to Tuesday, go pick up the truck the following Mon-Wed, and then drive up and return the bar the following...

    I can go either way and be compatible. I am patterning them for the mil bar. I am leaning toward 1" for the extra strength of the available shackles.

    I will be in SA by noon on th 9th either way.

    Post purchase Inspection San Antonio

    I am driving from Tucson in my super duty w/ my tools. Ideally, I am planning to get the truck running and tow the SD home with the deuce. I was hoping to find something locally. Just a stab in the dark. I may just have to buy one and sell it later. No problem though. I am adapting the...

    Anyone local have a tow bar they want to part with for a few days. I would buy it outright and sell it back less a service fee. Or keep it. It would be up to the owner. I thought I would have 1 more week, but lo and behold when you want inefficiency it will not be there.

    Power

    I have had bad batteries cause similar problems. Maybe just one. Easy/free to check. Otherwise suspect a short.

    Any mil flatbed trailers to complement the deuce?

    You are right but are they really going to be any worse than NoDirectionalTreads. I worry about the power too. 13000 truck + 7300 trailer + ??? # of something + offroad - 130hp/330ft/# - NDTs = Stuck in the boonies.

    Any mil flatbed trailers to complement the deuce?

    I like the look of the m1061 and m998 (not 998a1). You would have to be careful tough. 13000 # behind almost any deuce is going to put you at 26,000 GCW and into class A territory. I was looking at these myself. It turns out I can legally haul more behind the Superduty than the deuce. GCWR is...
