That's just criminal. I'd love to be able to get enough of those to outfit my raggedy truck. Even if I could score 2 for the front, then I could do 1100s in the rear. Criminal I say, felonious criminal.

:ditto: Just when I thought we were driving that wedge between the a2 and a3 guys you go and do that, mix them together. :p

Oh my word that's beautiful! Hey I saw a GL auction with an M35A2, it had singles but they were way inside the side of the vehicle, looked retarded. Guess it was the angle.... They look great.

Two questions... What's with the radio broadcasting tower in the bed?
And what's with the pad laying under the truck? Are those A2's unstoppable with leaks?

Thanks all and thanks to Steven and Clinto for helping me out on the truck. We replaced all the seals and one bearng. Repacked all the other bearings.

Yes, the truck needs a good paint removal/cleaning and repainted in fresh real CARC.

I need to hook up the lights. I also need the adapter to correct the speedo for this size of tire.

After the painting I also intent to put a M1009 tow pintle on the front bumper, install a VIC with 3 cab a forward bed and a rear dismount crew stations, radio mount under the seat with bed spaced antenna, backup light, cab cockpit lights, get an A3 spare tire spacer to hand an A3 spare, lollipop lights, and probably a strobe. Of course I could always add a stripper pole from ATD.

Truck did well on the trip and I figure I saved a few hours on the long trip. I could definately tell the speed difference and the loss of torque was not as noticiable as I had expected travelling in TN, VA, MD and PA. I haven't hit the huge hills around Gilbert yet so that could be a different matter.
