Hi all,
I've been lurking around this site for a long time, but just recently went out and bought a deuce. Specifically, I'm the guy who bought FMJ's deuce. The machine was priced fairly and represented correctly. FMJ really went out of his way to make sure I knew how to handle any eventuality that occurred on my ~250 mile drive home, going so far as to give me some tools for basic maintenance. My drive went without a hitch and so far I'm very happy with my purchase. FMJ did a great job on the truck cosmetically and mechanically. All gauges stayed within nominal range for the duration of my drive. The thing that really surprised me was the state of the pneumatic system; I drove it to work this morning and parked it with 120 PSI, 12 hours later it had only bled down to 90. She cold starts within two seconds of pushing the button. Did I mention that FMJ did a good job?
I guess since I'll be contributing more to this forum an introduction is in order. I'm a prototype machinist who likes all things mechanical. I like the singularity of purpose exhibited by military vehicles. I also enjoy bantamweight cars and mechanical watches. On the other end of the spectrum, I build liquid submerged computers and other high tech gadgets. Electricity is mechanical in it's own right, and manipulating it is enjoyable to me.
