plastidip. spray it on and peel it off when you're done with it. Probably much cheaper than vinyl, but not as cheap as duct tape and canvas

The FJ liked it just fine. Gas consumption was pretty bad though. I went from getting around 14-15 to around 10 on the drive home. I read on here that the pintle needed to be about 24" off the ground to get the trailer level. I had originally bought one that just slid in the 2" opening but...

oh, I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who helped me out in this thread, as well as Steel Soldiers in general. I had a lot of confidence going down there to pick up my trailer, even though it was my first time. You guys are great. Looking forward to my deuce next! or CUCV!

well, I took a drive down to Ft. Hood today and picked up my m101. Turns out, it's a a2 model. I went back and looked at my win and it actually never said a3, I just assumed it did based on the way the trailer looked. I did a bit more research and now see where the differences are in the side...

thanks for the tips... picking it up in the morning!

thanks for the heads up on the registration receipt. I'll have to find mine or get another before I head down.

thanks Pawnshop. I plan on picking up some bearings just in case. Are the inner ones hard to replace? Do I need to pull the rim? I'll be towing it with an FJ Cruiser. I should be ok there.

thank you, rosco!

I desperately want a deuce, but for now I've settled on getting a m101a3 from Ft. Hood, TX. I've read over lots of recovery threads and think I've got all the essential tools covered and have been going over the TM. I'm a little hazy as to what "Pinning the Master Cylinder" on the Brake System...

sweet! Now we're getting somewhere!

Hey Riktord, I'll definitely give you a hand. Thanks. I'll PM you for your contact info.

Yeah, I've been looking at his rig. Wish there were a few more pics of it.

Thanks Clepto. Just on initial thinking, I've been flip flopping on wanting a bobber or a 6er... I'd love to check out both.

Thanks guys. I'll see about making it to Bryan this weekend. I doubt I can swing it, but I'll definitely try.

Thanks Glen. If we can get something set up I'd definitely take you up on your offer!

Hey all, I'm new to this site as well as MV's in general. I really want to get a deuce and have committed myself to doing as much research as possible before buying one. I'm hoping someone local wouldn't mind taking a noob under his wing and giving him the nickel tour of his deuce. I can offer...

:) yeah, i kinda figured that would be the case. I figure I'm at least a year or more away from a purchase... I'm hoping to get a house in the mean time with a large garage... really large thanks for the offer dsk... I got a fever for big iron though.

thats good advice. Theres actually a guy out here in Waxahatchie, a close suburb of DFW, who has quite a few for sale. I plan on talking to him quite a bit and making friends. Vintage Military Trucks Home Page Thats a generous offer. If I'm ever up that way, I might give you a call. Side...

Thanks porky, thats the exact type of greeting information I was looking for. Hi 13thArmy!
