    Deuce Rough Terrain Limitations

    When you "bob" a Deuce you lose weight which comes in handy in soft ground. Driving in the Marines taught me quite a few lessons on driving in adverse conditions. One was keeping traction. The more wheels in contact with the ground the better, so watch your "lines" . That means if you have to...
