    Bought an M35A2, with a unique addition

    So… here are a couple shots of the cab… completely repainted, almost all new data plates (the others are on the way, and I had a custom one made for the ID plate) new steering wheel, a couple of new gauges, air wipers fixed and working, my one attempt at humor with a “deuce” pool ball shift...

    Bought an M35A2, with a unique addition

    It DOES run fantastic. The trip to Monte Vista and back was 180 miles and one mountain pass. No drips, no leaks, no overheating, just a nice casual 26 mph in 3rd gear up the east side of the pass. 😂 I’ll post another pic of the cab interior when the weather clears. And yes, I’ll certainly be...

    Bought an M35A2, with a unique addition

    I guess it HAS been awhile, eh? I stored the truck in a local barn this last winter and found a great local mechanic. We rebuilt damn near every system back to new- brakes, hubs, engine, fluids, hoses… you name it, we did it. So basically the truck is mechanically “brand new.” Then I did a new...

    CA Finally found insurance for our deuce and a half

    I think I had to manually enter Jeep/Kaiser. Just a thought…

    CA Finally found insurance for our deuce and a half

    Try to use the Geico online tool first, or the app. Just my two cents worth…

    CA Finally found insurance for our deuce and a half

    I have State Farm on my cars and home, but my agent specifically told me they would NOT touch the deuce with a ten foot pole. I tried Hagerty and a few other places,with no success. Finally, Geico took me on with an online application! It’s around $60 per month for maxed out liability plus...

    All is well. Had a long talk with the mechanic on Friday. Comparing notes and timelines can be important. I feel much better about things.

    Bought an M35A2, with a unique addition

    Any of you in “the know…” I need a contact in the Denver, CO area for a deuce mechanic. Nothing major, just routine maintenance. Private guy or shop is fine. I fear that my shop down south is going to leave me hanging. Any suggestions are most welcome.

    Bought an M35A2, with a unique addition

    One of my biggest pet peeves is the newer larger vehicles with nothing but an automatic “PRNDL” transmission. Once you bring it down a steep hill, you’re either feathering (and burning) the brakes in “Drive,” or you’re doing 20 mph in low and the engine is redlining. It’s annoying as hell...
