The grey looks fine. Nothing wrong with it.

The wife and I have an understanding. I have camo-green, and she continues to live and eat in the house.
Hey there's no doubt, I wear the pants in the family..... well at least while I'm goofing off in the shop. And heck, if I was in charge at home I might also have to be in charge of vacuuming the carpet!

Nice lookin' deuce. You can always paint it back to green down the road....;-)

I bought my M1009 off a guy who reluctantly sold it because he had a five-star bed 'n breakfast and he was told it looked a little 'garish'.

imo: I personally think black, 5 series BMW's are a little garish. We call them 'douche-mobiles' up here in Vancouver.:p

This is my Project i just recently finished..

The only bob job that isnt running a set of deuce front springs in the rear..

Went with 59 inch 1 ton ford 3inch wide springs with overload.

For much better articulation.
14inch tavel shocks..

Cool. Looks like you need something a lot taller to get it to it's limit.

FYI, I have 60" chevy springs in the front of my dodge and 63" in the rear. I wheel it a lot, and I rarely if ever get a tire off the ground. The fords look like that should work good too. I know the 57" ford 1/2 ton springs flex like crazy.

I've seen this asked a lot here, but never much in the way of replies ...

For those of you with a bobbed deuce - what differences do you see in driving compared to the stock deuce - i.e. speed, handling, braking, steering etc. ?

(Maybe there isn't much difference ?)
