Fingers crossed, I hope I just need to top of the fluids, do a safety inspection and find that it is good to drive home. As my first one, I wanted one that was in good shape and could be enjoyed. :driver:

RE One trip registration, Texas has something similar, I will have to see if I can access online or have to goto the DMV for it. I assume if I get a TX registration, driving it out of OK will be okay, just want to be totally legal, what ever my end solution.

Agree, I have pulled 7000lbs without trailer breaks without issue, but 13000 plus trailer, made both my brother and I remove that option from Plan A. :) I will do a search on the GTA. My memory is picture based, so any kind of video or picture based training is 100 times easier for me to...

Wow, that was quick! I don't have access to anyone that is familiar with the inner workings of a Deuce. This is more of a learning experience for myself. Saw them as a kid, always thought they looked cool and wanted one. Brother is very knowledgeable on all things mechanical, and helped a...

I downloaded all the manuals last night and will start reading them today. Looks like there is a manual specifically addressing inspection of the truck. It seems that in my searches, some people recommend always towing/trailering the deuce home even if it is drivable? Assuming the truck looks...

Just out of curiosity, any idea why it was on the auction block two times? I downloaded all the manuals last night and will start reading them today. Looks like there is a manual specifically addressing inspection of the truck. I also have a second question. It seems that in my searches...

Looks like I bought a M35A2C. I have wanted to buy a deuce for a while and ended up making a spontaneous buy. I probably over paid a little, but it looks like a very clean truck, so I made the leap and didn't look back. I'm sure I will have tons of newbie questions, but will see what I can find...

Wow, a lot of negative views. I really like Xtreme 4x4 because it gives me ideas. It isn't that I would do them all, but it shows me what you could do. I see Robr's bobbed deuce the same way. It isn't that I would do everything Rob is doing to his, but I see several good ideas, several that...

That is kind of my thought. To me the 6x6 is one of the things that is so cool about the Deuce. I am probably going to add bolt on improvements like singles, maybe lockers and the like if I can get around my present HOA issues, so I guess I am not a purest. As for what someone does with their...

That is an interesting idea. What if I asked the HOA for a letter of exemption: I could say that: "I was considering a 4x4 M35 project truck rated at 5/4 tons but would really like to purchase an already restored Deuce that is rated at 2.5 tons. I know I can park and store the registered 5/4...

I think I am out of luck (HOA): 6.6 Uses Specifically Prohibited (c) Trucks with tonnage in excess of one and one-half (1.5) tons and any commercial vehicle with painted advertisement shall not be permitted to park overnight on the Property except those used by a builder during the construction...

It is basically one lady causing the problem, the HOA management company never had an issue until she started complaining. Funny thing is that i pointed out that I could see her Sat. dish from the street to counter her issue with my boat, so she moved her dish. Then she found out that Federal...

Wow, I really appreciate the responses I have received on my question and especially the offer to drive one from Sti-nkr. Looks like I may need to do a little more research or at least build bigger fences at my house. I pulled out my HOA restrictions (which I forgot to bring with me) and it has...

oops double post (Please remove)

I have thought about GL, but still researching. A lot of responses in my searches have suggested buying a titled deuce from members or one of the resellers was a better way to go if I only wanted to buy one truck. Ft Bliss is in El Paso, that is very far from DFW (across most of Texas.) On...

I am located in Dallas, TX, and was thinking of entering the hobby. I know this has been discussed, but wanted to know if the "fully serviced" version from Boyce is the best starting point for a new purchase? Obviously if a long time trusted member of SS was offering his like new Deuce for a...
