Just saying hello. The closest thing I have to a military vehicle are the HMMVW 36 in goodyear's I run on my dodge ram and a couple of the 8 bolt beadlocks. I joined cuz I like boobed M35's, like looking at pics of them, and I am thinking of just getting into a deuce (gotta get rid of my ZJ first, and then there is the whole wife thing.... why don't they understand????)

Anyway hello and wish me luck in getting one.

Please tell me that someone hasn't put boob$ on an M35. I sure hope this is a typo.

Haven't you heard? The armed services are integrating both genders into MOST career fields now.... Yup - there are lots of those bOObed deuces, 5-Tons and even HEMTTs running around nowadays

I meant bobbed..........well I am just gonna leave it. no point in editing the post.

Lots of good info on here. I spent 4 hours just reading on bobbed trucks, and trying to learn as much as I can about M35a3's. and in case you are wondering why those, is because all deuces were ugly as sin, and I can't drive a manual. Never had a military driver's license but I have driven gators, CUCV, HMMWV, Uparmored and vismod M998's. I'm sure I'll eventually get the chance to drive an LMTV, just for GP. Notice how they are all auto, not stick.

Anyway i have a lot to learn and I am sure the tools, jacks and my driveway will all have to be upgraded to get into this hobby. I imagine I am gonna need stuff in the 20 ton range and 3/4 in drive stuff. I learn as I go. enough running on a tangent. Thanks for letting me play

Check on GL, if Red River Army Depot in Texarkana ever breaks loose with that field of overhauled Deuces, you can get them both boobed and unboobed (I couldn't resist, sorry).I had to pick a genset up there in May 2008 and I was positively drooling at the neat variety of military equipment waiting for a call to serve.....

And have fun down in Austin, it's much to hairy as to driving and much too far for either my Unimog or M35A2 to go, anyway.... Also be aware if you have a Home Owners Association where you reside you may be persona non grata with anything military on the property...


Cheers,

Not a member of a HOA and you should have seen the '80 wagoneer that took two months to tear apart on my front driveway, and my 85 s10 that became a lawn ornament until I sold it, and my 93 ZJ that has been in and out of my garage for the last year in various stages of disrepair, and my axle swap project on my 01 ram, and my in laws 19 ft cutty cabin getting pulled around the yard and driveway getting serviced..........

It's the wife I'm worried about
