. She will roll easy. I have a small hill and I park at the top of that hill. All it takes is releasing the brakes and it will roll to the bottom. A tow bar is a nice way to jockey it around. A chain and a pipe will work too - with a clevis on each end - so it can't accidentally get away...

. Consider that the raw weight is about 30,000 pounds. Maybe a little less without doors and a roof, but still pretty heavy. Are you planning to move it to where you are - or do you mean moving it around your property once it arrives on a flatbed?

. Maybe they have auto parts stores there too - similar to Autozone?

. Hope all goes smoothly James! No more than minor inconveniences...

. Hi and welcome to the Outfit! Looks like you have been here a while. Several posts, so maybe this is a belated welcome. ANYHOW, the how to for half-shafts is in the "Dash 20" Technical Manual TM 9-2320-280-20-2 Page 6-17 PDF Page #647 Step by Step removal instructions. Give that a peek...

. Happy to hear it! The torch on the cones - all four of them - quickly - and then thump it with a hammer. Of course the heat kills off the penetrating oil, but if the cones pop up even a little you can see some progress. Hopefully the torch has a rosebud top so you can throw down a lot of...

. We need a better icon. Thumbs up seemed the most appropriate. AGREED! At 62, I am looking at things these days with an eye for "this fix will outlast me" as I work on projects...

. Your first post was on Friday at around Noon. We talked about the "cones" under the bolts and washers back then. Today is Tuesday - and I have to ask - but have you continued to spray more penetrating oil onto those cones? They have a "split" up the side. Those cones are about the thickness...

. Nice testing writeup @Keith_J !

. Clean the battery connections and charge and verify battery voltage. Second thing is to look under the spare tire and (with the batteries disconnected) CLEAN the reverse polarity box that lives there. Clean it good and use Anti-Oxidation paste on the cleaned parts. The wires and the...

. Well... Seems like you had to do what had to be done. On your truck and in life too. Nicely presented!

. Sometimes it really is good to have an untrained helper - with motivation - to help on projects. Made for a happy wife too. Good for her and you too!

. Welcome to the Outfit Glenn! Don't hesitate to ask questions. Lots of the guys have S&S trucks and are willing to share information. Might be a good idea for you to have the books. Downloads are free in the Technical Manuals (TM's) section...

. Got it! Thanks Guy... Forgot to paste the Deuce TM link (Duh!).

. Welcome to the Outfit! There are quite a few guys with LMTV's in Florida, so it should be possible. Don't take no for an answer. Just keep asking. Here is a link from a member in Florida back in February: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/lmtv-insurance-and-process-in-florida.207593/

. It's always nice to know - or maybe would be nice to know - but the military isn't like private companies or individuals. The odometer is just a set of numbers. That is all. The speedometer in your truck could have been replaced half a dozen times or an old one could have been installed...

. Welcome to the Outfit! Glad to hear that you have a "New-To-You" Deuce. Snag some pictures of your new toy and how about you create a "Build Thread" for your truck? It will give you a place to post pictures and tell the rest of us what you are doing. We are picture hounds for sure... It...

. Depends on what is close to you. Might even be worth a trip north here to the big city at one of the local "pull your own part" stores. Might even find RockAuto has what you need for a harness. Either way, you may not get wiring for blackout lights - but a clean harness is worth your time...

. Might be worth looking at this thread. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1102-military-to-civilian-conversion.122706/post-1532660

. Yearly membership is currently on sale (Normally $15) for ten bucks. Pretty darn cheap... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/paid-membership-renewal.98783/post-2470873 Picture it up, Post it up and see who takes it home with them. :)
