[Timberwolf]

Went up and down with no issues. with like 2 inches to spare at the t-case skidplate at the breakover point. haha.

Timberwolf,
Anytime you want to come by to see the trucks is fine by me. I actually have to meet up with Christian to give him the tires that he owes you (they were actually coming from me).

You've got a big 6x6? What's the jeep for? Take the 6x6 up the trail!!!

I almost tried this setup with my Dingo, but the problem was the weight of the dingo. 3 tons of armored vehicle meant some ramps that would have been tough to move by myself and then there was the chaining the Dingo down that was going to be tricky. So I traded the 5 Ton for the Deuce and bought a trailer. Which is easier to load. It also makes a handy work platform at events.

 

[rizzo]

recovery/tow vehicle all in one!

 

[Timberwolf]

The 5 ton aint gonna FIT up the trails we go on.
if it were just trail riding it would be one thing, but we rock climb. and alot of the areas are tight.
I'm talking to a buddy of mine that does alum stuff,
and he is gonna make me some 12 foot alum ramps i can drive the jeep up.

 

[rmgill]

You don't have to stop with that truck. It'll just make the trail a little wider. It won't care....

not trying to "steer" off topic, but . . .

Congrats to BKubu! His M977 is on the cover of the latest MV mag. Very Nice, Bruce.

So I'm dying to find out how you did selling your truck - I saw you pulled your Ebay auction.... Does that mean you got a local offer, or you had "seller's remorse"?
It wass a good looking truck, I was watching it as a barometer for how I might do when I sell mine and upgrade to the HEMTT..... (someday)

 

[Timberwolf]

I did fine.

I got a Decent amount of cash, and a M35a2 in Trade for the rest of the value.

Pics of the M35 coming soon.
