Okay, zoo after having trouble finding an answer to this question, what is the best first MV? I WANT an M35A2 with a nice hard top, but I am a fat arse (6' 5" and 265) and all legs, so I am worried about room. I probably can switch out the seats and move them back to give myself more room and a better ride, but I hear the CUCVs are more comfortably (but then I may as well get a used ford/chevy). I don't want an M37 (as awesome as they look) due to the whole engine thing (Ive never heard of the design and parts will be a PITA). Plus multi fuel is AWESOME! I can get all the WMO I want and know a fellow who can help me out (even with the taxes and the like).
Also, how hard is it to insure a deuce (I want to be able to use it as a regular driver and actually haul stuff in it) as a young (under 25) fellow? I have a clean driving record thus far, if that is relevant and qualify for USAA insurance.
Working on it won't be a monster issue (I can learn how and know a guy who can help me if I ask nice). I understand that it will be close to $500 for a complete fluid change. Are there any similar options (like a unimog in the same price range)? I do want to be able to make a highway drive (so a 55mph or 50 mph speed is required). Oh and my dad was a section driver way back when so he is very familiar with the deuce (he has a love/ hate thing going on with them).
So with that in mind, what is the general concencess?
EDIT: Sorry, I was trying to click conversations when I posted this. SOrry mods, would you mind moving this?
