Not enough room gimp. Yeah frp.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Replaced battery cables and terminals. Fixed door latches/ strikers do the doors actually close all the way. Going to pick up 2 front tired and wheels for the front. Already mounted and aired up. What SHOULD this cost? I think I scored an amazing deal
Well im getting 2 new tires and new wheels for $30025-300 prices vary widely, condition varys too.
Our Deuce is still a NO START.
With Gimpy's internet, phone and text support, I had the courage to get deep inside the Hydraulic Head - FINALLY, after many delays, eyesight challenges, Soldier B's TDY's, my own other priorities, and UNCOOPERATIVE WEATHER.
What i found in there was NOT what I had hoped to find. (Will post details in the STICKY Thread about HH Rebuilding.) But suffice it to say, I am having doubts about any MV participation in this year's Toys For Tots activities.... I, however, will be fully involved even if the Deuce is hospitalized for the duration.
It's ironic that the TFT activities are both the driving force for a quick remedy and simultaneously TFT is the very distraction prohibiting any rapid repair. (SIGH)
Y'all be blessed !

It sucks getting old. When I bought my m35a2 in 2010 I was 23/24 years old. I drove it back to Texas from Boyce Equipment in Ogden, UT over a long weekend. I was able to rock 10-12hr days in the saddle. Now I am sore after a 7-8hr drive.From what I remember that big single cylinder thumper isn't too much easier on the body than a deuce is? I bet it was a long day

You bunch of young "whipper-snappers" should be able to drive all day long ! I can. I just can't get out of the car afterwards .You're made of tough stuff.
These days and a five hour drive leaves me totally beat.
Sorry to hear your repair will take so long. The good thing is hopefully once it is fixed, it will stay fixed for a long time. Lord willing & the creek don't rise.Our Deuce is still a NO START.

Tell me about it. I got my Deuce 5-mo ago & I'm 52. I still feel like a kid inside, but I'm moving slower & getting down to check the tire pressure always makes me a bit light headed when I stand back up. I haven't done any long treks yet, but sure am glad my plans to get a Deuce in IN & drive it 1700-mi home in 5-days fell through & I got the wonderful machine I have now that was just over an hour away.It sucks getting old.

Mine seems to be relatively quiet. I also upgraded from the factory muffler to an Jones turbine. I got some stainless pipe and flanges and matched the existing muffler setup. It sounds alot better and seems to be quieter until you stand into it. I painted it black and put the guard back in place.Hey Elite, I see you have a A3, how effective is the muffler? If so, are they available and is it easily adapted to a A2?
I got mine in June of this year. My nephew and I flew to Missouri and drove it home making a pitstop to my brothers in Kentucky. We went just under 1500 miles in 2 1/2 days.Tell me about it.
