Traded it in on an A3 ;<)

I think I'll put the 395s on as well. Is there any evidence that bad things will happen? Show me . If there is one concept that I could point to that explains the success I've had in my Engineering career its : Lots of things that aren't supposed to work do anyway."

I'll be spending abit of time there working on my A3. I can take pix of wierd stuff.

He has sold all those helicopters. And the address is on Drexel Rd. I dont know if I'd call his place "small", he has about 2000 vehicles on 15 acres.

Yes, its at Jack's 520.574.0300

Maybe it would go on a CUCV ?

or cared for.....

Oh, I get it 8<)

All the driver side tires are flat. These tires are all junk, I have a set of new 395s to put on it. I've moved it around abit with 4 flats, to get it out of where it is and into service. Other than dog-tracking funny, it doesn't seem to mind 8<)

So I had a 1966-ish M109 multifuel, got out of it and into a M1009 CUCV, now I'm getting out of the Blazer and into a '99 A3. I loooove the sound of that CAT purring 8<).

Jack's Government Surplus, here in Tucson, has at least 30 of them. Thats where I got mine. He sells them with the End Use paperwork done, vehicle DOT inspected, and clean AZ title. Not cheap though, I paid $8500 for mine road ready w/ warranty. I told Jack that when I took delivery I was...

Twin ho's.....clearly the way to go.

Thats EXACTLY how I envision my next truck, so its great to see a real pic. Thanks for the inspiration 8<)

I used air lines. The standard hardware store type ferrules had to be modified on the back side with a dremel tool so they would seat far enough into the fitting. No problems, low cost.

For my next project. I understand the deuce can pull the trailer, but I'd like to have lots of design margin = 5 ton. Just thinking for now.....gonna go look at at tractor...just look <wink>
