AZ talk me outa it...

[sapp393]

Greets all from AZ. I am looking at buying an M35A2. Actually going with the wife to take a look at one this Sunday. I work from home with my current job and also run a gunsmithing/manufacture/sales business out of my home as well (all legit have my 07 FFL). So I determined I no longer need my current (SUV) vehicle. I have a Harley to run around town with and the wife has her car. I am currently going through the site to gather info etc but any tips off your guys heads for what to look for as a show stopper? I have driven/maintained a M113, M548, M998, a HEMMT (once or twice), even a school bus to take troops to the range. But I gladly acknowledge my newb status as to the M35A2.

Primarily looking at using it for:
Hunting trips/Camping
Promote my gunsmithing business
I am pretty active in the Vets community so parades and functions for that as well.
When all else fails and I need to plow my way from Fountain Hills to Willhoit going backroads with gear and guns I will have it as well.

Thanks for your time looking forwarded to getting edumicated through the posts.

You have all the bases covered with your skill set. You just need to decide how much money you want to spend. The days of the cheap Deuces are gone. Plan on at least $3500+.

Here is a good prep

Just an FYI. This is not a prepper site and guns and Zombie discussions are not allowed.

Finding one for $3500 range out here is tough as well. Although time plays a major factor. Time to hit the auction sites, time to spend fixing up etc. Wish I had more of it!

And tracking on your last point as well.
Thanks

Edit to add. Great document cleared up a lot of things right away that were nagging the back of my head. Will need to re-read a few times so it sticks. Especially the brake system part. I didn't realize that.

They are fun! THE BEAUTIFUL BEAST last Saturday got a First Place Ribbon in a local parade!
