    Convincing wife that I need a Deuce

    I don't understand why she would say no. If you want it and you can afford it there should not be a problem. I have never had to hide things from my wife. Now if she is upset because you are planning to chop it up I understand. Good luck

    Reverse gear, deuce surges

    Mine does it at first, the idles the truck back smoothly. I think engaging the engine at idle may be the reason. So.......still have Deuce fever. Thought you were set on that jeep(CJ4).

    New Guy - Deuce owner to be?

    Paul, It's hard to read your post FYI. I found that buying private party or from a dealer was expensive. However, the buying from GL it took me almost three months to get all the papaer work in and back approved. They held my money and truck the entire time. The process was fruastrating but...

    Whats it worth

    Don't rush into any thing, there is risk associated with buying from GL. I got lucky pure and simple. If you have never owned a deuce doing a recovery is not the time to learn.

    $55,000 quad cab bobbed Deuce

    I will admit I am not fan of chopping these trucks up. However, the man does good work and adds a positive light to the hobby[thumbzup]....so....if he wants to turn make a limo with a hot tub i'll just smile and shake my head. I never thought about what the price would be in another 10-15...

    Some Random New Guy questions

    I say take your time save your money and keep checking the GL site. Preview, Preview, and Preview Owning a deuce is a life sytle, they love fuel, time, labor, and money. Your happy one then the next your axle seals are leaking.

    $55,000 quad cab bobbed Deuce

    Wow, it does have a bid. I was thinking that it would be a hard sell. At 50k you are going into a nice Humvee. I agree the work looks. However, if I was told a Deuce and a half sold for 55k it would be hard to believe.

    Some Random New Guy questions

    So did you buy it? The paint looks good. For 6k I hope you drove and verified the drescripition. Only thing I saw was that the hubs were not flipped on the rear end.

    Rain is not a good thing in Texas!

    Had some flooding in Cobb County GA last year as well. Shut down part of I285 and I575. It was scary seeing poeple homes go under water.

    Working out the kinks in my New deuce.

    just a thought, did you check the bolts that hold the stearing gear box to the frame?

    Whats it worth

    I agree with BKubu, you could buy a complete truck M35A2 from GL. Things i did not like Gas Engine Sprag No bed probally was a tanker they took off Now if you like the older trucks I would go for it.

    Unloading my new M35A3

    I would double check everything on your truck to be on the safe side. There are parts missing blinkers, CTIS cover, and the door was swapped. Could have been a parts truck.
