Welcome. Hope your thick skinned and can take critisism (sp?) well.

Thanks guys, I figure I will be doing alot of reading and also downloading manuals and if lucky I will be buying manuals. I dont think I will be doing alot of off-roading as I would love to keep this as my daily driver/tow rig. I will upgrade the Rocks with just a few things from OEM and since everything is still just plans on a white board I am open to any and everything to make my future deuce last as long as possible.

As far criticism I dont have problems with opinions. I dont want to do things wrong so if someone sees anything I am more than willing to fix it.

Don't ask or talk about jacking a deuce up and making it go 70 mph in the left lane and it'll be a decent start.

Use the search when possible.

Download and read the manuals.

Deuces suck fuel so use of a deuce as a daily driver aren't the best idea. Plenty of threads out there that discuss this.

Plenty of deuces for sale either via the govt or via private sellers. Check the classified for private sellers. Search function can tell you about the normal places to buy from govt (Government Liquidation and GSAuction).

Don't talk about doing something unsafe or stupid and you will most likely survive your first contact.

Good luck.

Good luck and WELCOME!

Thanks! I do love myself some chemistry.


If you dont like people modding them and your reading this I love the military and wanna preserve its history. I will even take a rusted truck and need to build it back up instead of a rust free one.


Thanks for the responses guys

 

[KsM715]

Its not the modding them that bothers people here. Heck we even have a forum for hot rod and modded deuces. Its the unsafe, hillbilly, I dont give a **** about other people on the hiway attitude that ruffles feathers around here. And rightly so

Welcome and do not be intimidated. This is a great site. Attend meetings and rallys with the members here on the site. Please use the search function. Read, read and read. Everything you ever wanted to know has been addressed in the threads and even more in the manuals. No flames is a good idea and do not even think about making a lowrider rapper deuce..
