Mitsubishi had proper full all wheel steering on some of their regular car models.

So the entire "middle" bit can slide out and thus obtain more internal space like those swanky slide out camping trailers?

I would think the angle and the way it sticks out will surely hinder pulling a trailer behind the truck. But I have a hard time seeing how you got from the horizontal to the vertical position.

Cranetruck, I tried looking for those 2 magazines and can't seem to find them online as PDF's which I wasn't entirely suprised at. But going to the publishing site they 404 when I try to go look at back issues. I mean I am certainly not opposed to buying the 2 issues in question its just hard to...

Cranetruck, Thanks yet again, I will try and see if I can dig them up somewhere :). And what you posted second sounds or looks like swedish, and not danish :P. "Magasinerns forsider" is the proper danish "expression" :).

Cranetruck, is those 2 images from one of the magazines you list or?

Heath, thanks for the comments and the little tidbits of information. I guess I should hit up the local MotorMecs next time I go out on the local base and ask a few questions about our truck. But I don't suspect they are equipped with fording kits per say. But my main reason for asking was...

In my local vocab its referred to as a drive shaft or cardan shaft. But when I looked at it when I started picking up english I heard it referred to as a prob shaft etc so I tended to stick with that :P. But all in all an informative thread. Because I intend to "try" to at least make "my" deuce...

I better explain in more detail why I am asking :). I took offroad qualification for the danish army jeep back in March while some of my fellow soldiers were taking the same qualifications on the smaller Man trucks. But the jeep I was driving as well as the Man trucks was burried well over their...

Here the ground guide is usually soldier 2. All service men both in the serving armed forces or in our National guard is trained and instructed in how to provide the proper signals both during day and night. So we are all able to serve in that capability :). But I guess the ground guide might be...

Just another of my random thoughts today. But is there some way to affordably make a Deuce more capable at fording without flooding the axles etc?. And at the same time cut down on all the PMCS that you will inadvertantly have to do with the stock axles, seals etc?. I don't own a Deuce yet but...

Sorry but POV, PPE, TC, Ground Guide? what are those? And sorry for the slight OT, but what is the difference between the Reserves and the National Guard?

Personally I would say go for the A2's. They are just more simple by having a manual transmission and no CTIS. Thusly "simpler" to work on and with and fewer things that can technically go wrong. And as far as I know the A2 is easier to find replacement parts for as opposed to the A3's. W/W is...

Not sure used tires is such a commodity, at least used commercial tires. But I wager a guess and say that you might be able to buy rethreaded tires at a lower cost simple because the actual carcase of the tire is no longer new. I personally wouldn't trust a rethread tho....

Brianp454: If I can't find a 465-2 then they are not that hard to replicate. Apparently there isn't a lot of difference between the 465-2 and the 465-1 or something like that. I cant remember it off the top of my head but the basic block and various othe componets are exactly the same. And I...

And here I thought a sale was final or a bid was final. So basically even if you have the winning bid GL can basically come and tell you "sorry but its not yours anyway"?. If they can cancel your bid or your win without consequence then I would wager that peoples bills can't be final either and...

Diecorpse, I am with you on the manual transmission, the dually tandem and the MF engines. My dream engine for a Deuce is the 465-2 engine with 210 HP, and yes I know its not a native deuce engine, but I still like it.

It is actually a secret ;). Or rather the actual true composition and how to get it right is :P. But watching a few youtube I guess I should correct myself. Chobham and its making was shared with the US by the UK, not sure if the same holds true with the Dorchester version that the british...

Chobham is the laminar armour construction used on the Challenger tanks, not sure what the American's call their variant or the germans theirs. But I was under the impression that the "sandwich" nature of the laminar armour would actually work as a deterrent against shaped charges etc, as some...

That's a tad pricy I would say
