    M35 - help me own a deuce! quick top fold-down and up

    i have a Unimog 404. That is probably a better fit than a M35 for your situation. I drive mine almost everyday. It gets about 13 miles per gallon and cruises at 60 easily. They do come in 4 door but they are getting rare. I dont think a HOA will have much to say on them since they are...

    New Shoes on the Unimog 404

    i just tried out the new tires at highway speeds. with the speedo measuring 79 kmh (calibrated to the stock tires) which is the max recommended speed. I was doing 65 mph and i didnt feel it was straining the truck in any way. Its really odd passing people on the highway in a Unimog. It does take...

    M715 Truck Bed

    Im in the process of horse trading for a pair of M715 Jeeps. One is almost perfect and the other needs a bit of work but seems to be do able. The one that needs the most work needs a pickup bed to replace the utility flat bed on it. Can i use a M101 or M105 trailer bed for it? Does it work out...

    Deuce as a tow-rig? Am I crazy?

    get a deuce the chicks dig it..... until you marry them anyway. besides a deuce isnt really ever going to go down in value if you take care of it. A 75 deuce is worth the same as a 65 if they are in comparable condition. That means you will get most if not all of your money back when you sell...

    New Shoes on the Unimog 404

    yeah mike i dont think the driver stopped between your house and mine. He left your at 10 at night and was at mine in less than 24 hours. Thanks for shipping the tubes with them, i didnt know you were going to do that. I ended up making them tubeless as per the tire guys recommendation. Im not...

    New Shoes on the Unimog 404

    I mounted a set of 2 1/2 ton tires 11.00 R 20 Michelin XL's on my stock Unimog 404. I had to remove the rear wheel wells for clearance but the front is fine. If your into heavy wheeling you might have clearance problems with the axle articulation but i dont so now i just have a truck that can...

    Looking To Buy M561/M792 Gama Goat

    I own a Gama Goat and a mudder might not be too hot an idea as replacement parts such as U-Joints Axles Drive Shafts, transmissions, Transfer cases are rare and fairly expensive. It is true the machine is close to unstoppable but the parts are getting to be a problem.

    EM pulse and the deuce, will it survive?

    As i understand it, most if not all US military vehicles have been designed for at least some semblance of EMP shielding. Being the M35 was basically the logistical backbone of both the foreign based troops and domestic national guard operations I see no logic in it not being moderately...

    TN Deuce registration

    my insurance with State Farm is averaging about 20 dollars a month per vehicle. I really like state farm though and i have a good agent. Glad things have worked out for you anyway. Being your from the middle tn area anyway, have you ever wheeled up in the Windrock Offroad area near Oak Ridge...

    Seriously, kerosene heater under hood?

    Go to Lowes and get a Heatlamp with an extension cord. We use plain old shoplights here but it does get colder where you are.

    "Starts and Runs"?

    "Starts and runs" is awesome but "Stopping" is a completly different ballgame in Military Vehicle Land. Along with shifting, doesnt overheat, and drives.
