Renaming the Bobbed Deuce???

Folks,
I will be taking delivery of my newly purchased 70 M35A2 next month and will begin the "shortening / modification" process. Has anyone given any thought to renaming the newly redesigned truck. Bobbed / Shorty / Bob'd just doesn't do it justice.

I think there will be significant interest in the "modified" deuce and think we should create !some "branding" for it and think of it, it all started on SS! I am drafting and mailing a letter to TRUCKS, the TV Show to see if they would be interested in seeing my transformation.

Here are some suggestions that I have come up with. My picks my be: 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8.

1) MUV - Military Utility Vehicle

2) M35MUT - M35 Monster Utility Truck

3) M35MUT - M35 Military Utility Truck

4) M-QUAD - Military Quad Utility Deuce

5) QUMV - Quad Utility Military Vehicle

6) MUDOS - Military Utility Deuce On Steroids

7) DOS - Deuce on Steriods

8) SMUT - Shortened Military Utility Truck

9) MSMT - M-Series Monster Truck

10) RUMV - Rugged Utility Military Vehicle

11) SAMV - Single Axle Military Vehicle

12) SUMST - Shortened Utility M-Series Truck

Feel free to add your own and maybe we can do a poll once we get some possible contenders? Let's try to keep the numbering scheme as we add to the list.

At the risk of verbal abuse, I will repeat my name idea from the past -

STEER......for two reasons:
1) you're taking away its manhood
2) now it will actually steer....

Or how about WART (Was A Real Truck)

Actually, I think oldshep has the right idea - and the right math, unless you run super singles, in which case it would be ATT - "Ace and Two-Thirds" (going by tire count vs. stock). And ATT has a damn nice ring to it.


Yes, I am sober.........but sleep-deprived. Good night.

One more thing - I really like Wreckerman's name, BUT imagine the potential problems:

"Honey, do you mind if I try out my buddy's S L U T tonight?"
"That S L U T really wears me out - and why are my hands green?"
"Father, forgive me. I've neglected my wife and kids - all for a S L U T."

You get the idea....

OMG!
S.L.U.T. HAS MY VOTE!!!!!

Hey honey! I'm going out to play with the S.L.U.T.!
I'm going into town. I have to do something about that filthy S.L.U.T..
My buddy took his S.L.U.T. out last night, and tore her up.
Man, you got the best looking S.L.U.T. I've ever seen.

From a wife's point of view:

"He'd rather spend time with that S L U T than with me!"
"If you keep seeing that S L U T, you can just move in with her!"
"How many more S L U T s are you going to bring home?!?!?"

I like "Bob"

Well I may only be a, what is my rank up to now? And I am impressed by how rank some of you are :lol: I noticed a comment by someone the other day directed to a new registrant to SS that what did he know and does he deserve any respect since he's only a Private! Gee, I feel bad, Having only bought and gone through just under a 100 vehicles and trailers over the last 25 years I may be stepping on toes here. But, more to the point, I like something more personal, like Bob. Or perhaps M354X4, hey, that might be a neat alternative handle when I get mine. I'm gonna register that right now. It'll be year before I have mine on the road, but, might as well start early.

Regards,
M376X6
