My thoughts have been to take the stock wheels, have the rings removed, and weld-on 20" beadlock kits. This would get rid of the troublesome lock ring, widen the mounting area at least an inch so that the tires fit better, and make it easier to change tires. I have known these beadlock kits to...

We had a blast! The team LOVED the truck and the crowd seemed to enjoy it also... except when I hit the horn. I think some of the kids didn't realize how loud it was going to be!

I take my Deuce offroad and do it pretty seriously. On my last trip out, I managed to blow out all of rubber joints. Luckily, none of them came apart, the link either slid towards the brackets or just chunks of rubber are missing. I have been trying to brainstorm a way to upgrade the links to...

This is my first time starting a thread in a long time. I take my truck off-road at least half of the time I take it out. It isn't on just cruising trails either; mud holes, hill climbs and etc. Well, normally the worst I get is a bent mirror or dent in the bottom of the fuel tank. I went up...

I couldn't find any thread that had talked about this, except for the turbo kit threads. I didn't find any real answers there or I read over the information and missed it. My buddy has a good HX35 he's giving me for free. I can make the turbo physically fit the truck no problem. Is it going...

I'm down in Smyrna, TN for a few weeks with the Army. I was out and about one evening and spotted a M109 (I think) in a driveway. Is it anyone that's on the board?

I'm going to put together a list of people that will volunteer their help if needed. All I ask is for three pieces of information, via PM: 1) name 2) location (city & state) 3) phone number (home or cell) 4) e-mail (optional) 5) if you want to include any special notes, I'll include those too...

When I first got my truck, it was a runner for a non-turbo engine. I could easily hold 55mph on all but about a 10% grade. A few problems hit me at once and the Deuce was in pieces for about a year. Now that I have it together again, it can hardly get out of it's own way. Forget 55mph, I'm...

I replaced the rear main seal on my truck a while back. I finally got the truck running again and it's puking oil all over the place. I let it idle for about 5 minutes or so on the initial start up (2 days ago) and it was fine. It dripped a small puddle after I shut it down. Then today, I...

So I posted a thread a while back about my truck not starting. I finally got some time to get around to it. I couldn't readily find a stock replacement relay, so I grabbed a Ford fender mounted solenoid and swapped it in. Once I did that, the truck fired to life! What are the ramifications...

There's a turbo for sale locally and the guy isn't sure what it's off of. Says it was off of a military truck, he thinks. Here's the specs and information he has from the turbo: 3 3/16 compressor 3 1/4 turbine 2 1/2 v band exhaust outlet 1 5/8 id compressor outlet 2 od compressor outlet...

I was looking around for some parts to use on my Ramcharger and had an idea. I seen some DIY weld-on bead locks for 20" wheels. My thought was to cut up and widen the stock wheels like has been posted here before. Then, weld on the bead lock to that and it should make it easily a 10" wide...

I know what to look for, what I need to take and a few tricks around the Deuce after getting my first one. I'm looking at another one, but I'm not sure how to go about bidding on the GL truck. Can someone make a short write up on it to make sure I don't screw anything and that me (and anyone...

To start off, here's the details on my truck. It's a 1968 non-turbo troop truck with winch. I've never had a problem with it starting, no matter how long it sat previously. It'd sit up to two months at a time and always fired up. The clutch and rear main went out, so I took it apart to...

I was in Missouri on a camping trip last weekend. On our way to the float trip, I seen a Deuce in a CarQuest parking lot. I didn't have time to stop in, but I did call and talk to the guy. There was a cargo truck, 109 truck and some 105 trailers sitting there. The 109 IS NOT available, it's...

While I was working my mundane job the past couple of days, I got to thinking. I often have heavy things I want to get into the bed of my truck. I don't have a suitable tree to lift with and nothing that can lift high enough from the ground. I've also been trying to figure out a way to fix my...

Well, let me begin by saying this is the first major wrench I've actually put to my truck. It was ready to drive other than putting fuel in the truck when I bought it. It threw the water pump belts about 50 miles into the pickup trip. Other than now, that's been all it's needed. I downloaded...

I'm making an official thread for the KCR shoot this spring. I know a few of us have talked about going, but spread the word around to the rest of the site. I'm pretty local to KCR and I go to the shoot every year. I may be able to take my Deuce down there this year. If you're going...

**EDIT** Not selling the truck anymore, I've made some money happen. Due to some circumstances beyond my control, I might have to sell the Deuce. I don't know what a fair price to ask for it would be. I know what I paid for it, but I'm sure it's not worth that now. It's a 1969 M35A2 w/w truck...

It can really be in any shape and condition... as long as it's driveable, I can easily fix the rest. I have a little pickup right now, standard cab Mazda, and I want to move up to something full-size. Right now, I have to fire up the Deuce any time I need to pick up a load of lumber or...
