@davidm2232 I think you nailed it with "gotten used to it". It is all in what you are used to. There are people that daily drive the M35A2 and they (and their body) know what experience to expect and drive/plan accordingly. Is it do-able? As you demonstrated, sure it is! There also are 1001 vehicles that can get the "Point A to Point B" on-the-road trip done more quickly and more comfortably. On a logging trail with a full bed of cargo? The Deuce is your truck!
I find that the radial 11.00R20 add a better ride and I also fitted an air ride driver's seat entirely for my benefit. In the end, it is still a 1950' rough road vehicle without any design regards for driver comfort.
On a side note regarding "loop past the bar" : Here (in Ontario) the alcohol limit when operating a commercial vehicle is 0.0. Although my Deuce is personally owned and not for hire, it is classed commercial due to weight. If I got stopped and had a breathalyzer result other than 0.0, I would lose my commercial license for a period of time, get fined and get CVOR points on top of that. Not so when driving a non-commercial vehicle, such as a car; "normal" rules apply.
The Deuce is therefore not a vehicle to take when even one beer factors into the equation.
