    Thank you for your reply, so if I am not planning on fording any water anytime soon the plug situation is ok? I will probably make one, do I need a gasket for it too?

    What mods would you say are the most important or give the most utility to a deuce?

    how far?

    For the last couple weeks I have been reading as much of the great information on this site as my free time allows. I am in the market for a deuce or my m939 series 5 ton, my question to you is what would be the maximum distance you would travel to get a military vehicle? Would it be better...
