    Cry Baby Neighbors

    We have a 1 acre lot with a road in front and in back. Most homes in the area are set up like this with similar sized yards. From the house back is set up with a wooden fence with some fencing removed to allow vehicle access. In the back we keep two boats and a pickup truck or two as well as...

    Cost of getting a good truck?

    Well I am 18 living at home with the folks still, just starting college working part time making 7.75 an hour. Of course if I can find a better paying part time job I will go for it but I am not too sure I will find something soon.I think I will be in the same situation for the next 4-5 years...

    Cost of getting a good truck?

    I think if I save as much as I can, in two years time I could scrape up 3500 - 4000 dollars. I keep seeing good Deuces online go for $6000+ . I hope to get a M35a2 with a whistler turbo and winch ( cargo cover or heater would be great but I know a decked out truck will run the price up ). I...

    My Bobbed Deuce is almost done

    Robr would you mind saying what you did for insurance? In your profile picture I see it is garaged was that a requirement to get it insured? I'm right by wichita but could only park a truck that size outdoors. I really hope I can find affordable liability coverage on a bobbed deuce with no...

    Rear Mounted Winch?

    Anyone have a good setup for a rear mounted winch? I don't have a truck yet but would like a bobbed truck with pto winch up front, and some sort of winch on the back. I don't know about getting an electric winch, but was wondering if anyone knew of a dedicated engine driven winch? I am...

    My Bobbed Deuce is almost done

    Looks great, the tan is really nice. I am also in the Wichita area and would really like to get a bobbed deuce eventually. Did you bob it yourself or have someone else do it? 100dollarman seems to do a great job but I don't really want to fly to California and drive it all the way back when I...

    New Exaust For My Deuce :)

    Thats a good looking truck! Any chance we could talk you into taking a video of you revving it or driving it to get an idea of the sound? Is it still loud enough to irritate the neighbors? Have a friend with MBRP exhaust on his duramax, I have to ask what he has exactly but it isn't very loud...

    Overhaul Engine?

    When I buy a deuce (might not be for 4 or 5 years) , I plan on buying one of 100dollarman's bobbed deuces for a mud beast. What would you recommend be done to the motor to keep issues from coming up? I heard somewhere on here "the only kind of deuces are the ones who have had their heads off...

    And for god sake read the tm

    Well I hope to own a deuce eventually, I am guessing tm stand for "training manual" ? "tm" is too short of a phrase to search for on here and I wasn't able to figure it out with google. Have links to this highly suggested reading material?

    Mud Bogger?

    Thanks for the replies everyone! Your right, a deuce would be much better as far as weight. After figuring out what bobbing was and seeing some pictures, they look awesome! It loses so much cargo capacity but they look great. Loosing a few thousand pounds from the rig should improve...

    Latest addition to the Bob'd list...

    Do you think if you would have used the same size tires that acceleration or top speed would increase? How much weight do you think you removed?

    Manufacture Clones?

    Since these things go for so much after military use, why doesn't a small auto company produce an exact OEM replica? Patents expire after 20 years right? So minus any sort of AM General trademarks this should be doable? Wikipedia says the government pays 65 grand for these things unarmored...

    Bobbed Deuce Bed

    Sorry but what is bobbing? :oops: I looked at the pictures but am unsure. You chop a trailer into a bed that goes over the 5th wheel so it can easily be used either way?

    Mud Bogger?

    I would like to buy a cool "mud truck" to play in mud pits, pull stuck friends out, and other off road adventures. I want something different than the Jeeps and Pickups you see all the time and always loved the look of military trucks. Would a 5 ton make a good mudder? I was looking at an...
