Hey guys im going to purchase a deuce and half. I was in the military and worked with hmmvvs etc so im sure some knowledge transfered i was a Scout so i just no general maintenance.

I need to be pointed in the right direction for information i know so little about this stuff. Threads that are useful write ups whatever you got.

I will do research on my own, Im trying to get alot of info quick.

I do plan to bob it and put some solid wheels lockers IDK what kind yet. Also plan to prep it and cover it with bed liner.

I have a friend that will let it go for 3500 which i have its in good shape has a turbo and a wench.

Any help would be appreciated

Yeap I think so ill hit up kinkos and get that stuff printed.


Sorry cant spell im legally retarded in the state of Texas but not Colorado.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Any specific questions?

If he has a M35 with winch for $3500, and it has no leaks and runs, you better get your butt over there and buy it before I do.

You can't get a M35 with winch running, in fairly good shape for $3500 any more. Even on GL, where you can't test drive, you have to transport it outta there, and you take much more risk, you're going to pay a minimum of $1000 more for one with a winch, or $4500 minimum.

He's doing you a favor. Buy it before he changes his mind, or sobers up.

Oh, and you better forget about Kinko's. It will cost you more to print those TMs out then new tires.

i think craigslist employee messed up on that wench thing too.... there was a thread on it last month i think... so your not alone on that thing... lol


AND.... to stay on topic, im assuming its an a2 not an a3 due to price.... i hear that the a2's are VERY easy to work on, but usually need working on often... lol.... but not as often as the a3... but i guess thats part of the hobby... and unless you have a good job or a credit card with a high limit, never go to gov liquidation... cus' suddenly uu need everything!!!! lol... will be getting my A2 shortly too... lol...

Deuces have solid axels .

Having a tubo charger has nothing to do with being newer , they have had them since the late 60's.


start with these TM'S; GTA-9-1-1851-8.pdf ( will show how to inspect and learn names of parts )

...Kung-foo? Not quite what I'd use to describe it, but whatever it is, it IS strong lol. It might rhyme with foo though....
