@Watsonpreston Wow great job filming! It’s awesome to watch closely with all that detail. Those two videos are a great comparison. Do you remember what axles you had lockers engaged in that video?

How do you feel about how important it would be to air down? Do you change your PSI every now and then when you use it like in your videos? My thinking is that maybe <40psi is only useful for sand.

About power steering, the only guys I know of supplying wheels with a negative offset that fits a PS kit on a Deuce is Boyce, and their wheels don’t have beadlocks. This limits airing down the tires to about 40psi vs 10~15psi with a beadlock wheel without power-steering (or at least with a...

Considering off-road use, a belt-driven hydraulic pump sounds easier to repair compared to the pump used in Waterloo’s kit, seeing that you would have less things to fail and replacing the belt would be easier to source, is my thinking correct?

Do y’all think I need new tires? My mechanic said because I’m running tubes these sidewall cracks are not a risk and with a good tread these would still last a good while. Date codes say 2004, I know for sure the truck has had them on for at least 10 years now and I’m running tubes in 395s on...

Th Those are some really nice pictures! And I agree pics and video can only do so much, I love to hear from others experiences and to learn more about the Deuce.

I agree with every single bit of that sir, that’s part of why I love MVs! And so many people working together to build a reliable machine for a purpose.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge about that! I really appreciate that an experience like that can be shared so we can keep the history of these trucks and the people that worked with them. It’s particularly interesting to me that you actually mentioned the YPG because this thread was started...

Woah that’s pretty interesting I love that stuff. Any recommendations where I can read more about it?

Thanks for that insight! Unfortunately Waterloo doesn’t make them anymore but I’ve found two kits for sale. So the Boyce kit does not use the stock 5 ton pump in theirs?

I’m currently looking into power steering, trying to figure out the major differences between Boyce’s kit and Waterloo’s

Looks amazing! I’ve seen quite a few videos of your truck and threads as well 👏🏽

Is anyone coming out who has made a camper out of their trucks?

Did you end up finding something like these or are you fabricating your own? I’m still searching for an option that works with a departure angle habitat.

I know this thread is not new but I also managed to insure my M35A2 through progressive today in California. I had to call their commercial agency and the agent told me NO TWICE! I said I knew of people who had it done, he comes back and says he “figured it out”. I did not mention it was a MV...

Thanks for sharing that, that was a nice read! I’m sure you’d feel a whole difference with that much torque. Do you happen to know if you had a significant change in your mpg with the 6BT?

Does anyone have any thoughts on this video if you think it shows weight distribution affecting traction?

It’s not really a wishlist 😅 I’m new to the truck and although mine already has mods, I’m trying to educate myself from anyone who has put their truck regularly in situations like that. I want to understand better how each component influences off-roading, by learning how the truck could...

Makes sense. So wouldn’t hydraulic power steering necessarily improve picking better lines?

Your weight might be the same but it sounds like you were able to redistribute it even more then, so those 2 rear axles that would have been unloaded now is one single rear axle with better weight distribution and more traction. This is just an assumption of mine, but I figured this is the case...
