Anyone know a good shop in Tucson area for new Deuce?

[buddy_holly]

I recently became a new MV owner with the purchase of a bobbed M35A2 and she's in pretty good shape so I don't want to mess it up. I have some automotive experience but have no idea where to start with this monster diesel. I picked up a digital copy of the army tech manuals but that's going to take some time to digest and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for good shops in the Tucson, AZ area. First orders of business would be lockout hubs for the front (help finding those would be great too) and some general maintenance things. I appreciate any tips from you guys since I'm a newbie at this. If I uploaded it correctly here's a photo.

Tucson

I just googled you. I will be passing through there with a 5 ton mid April. I can stop by and help you with the hubs as it only takes about 30 min including time to properly torque them. Order a set from Ouverson engineering ~$600.

These may seem like dumb questions but won't this require a lift or something? What all do I need to order for the parts?

JATONKAM35s AVM HUBS
Go and talk to Jack or his son at Jacks Govt Surplus in Tucson (5181 E. Drexel Rd). They will be able to point you to a mechanic in Tucson (if they won't do it there). You will also see MANY hard to find MV's.

Get with DesertDeuce on here ( Kevin ) he is out of phoenix, AZ. Great guy! Also Jacks Surplus is in Tuscon though his prices can be high on some things, he does have a wide selection. That should get you started along with what the others have told ya. Welcome to the site!

Thanks guys. Does anyone have recommendations on these hubs? I know nothing about these things so I was wondering if there is a difference between them. I've seen the AVMs and the Ouversons. And it looks like $600 is the avg going price.

There's also Selectros (which I prefer). They don't stick out as far as the ouversons and don't say 4x4 and 4x2 on them like jatonkas.
