Bought a Deuce...

[bigbabysweets]

I bought a big m35a2 yesterday. It's pretty nice with a winch, whistler turbo, and 54" tires... Made the 9 hour round trip to find out that it more than likely wont even fit in my driveway..... Only me......

What is insurance and stuff like on these?

[Guest PapaB]

Sweet little grocery getter. It'll fit in my driveway no problem. Feel free to store it here, just leave the keys under the mat. :pleased:

ah man I thought you meant you got a ma deuce! that's false advertising in the title lol

Thats what I thought, I got excited. Could still do that and mount the Deuce on the Deuce. I imagne between insurance and fuel costs, a Ma Deuce may be sounding pretty inexpensive :-) Just sayin.

I too thought you had bought a "Ma Deuce":

It sounds like an awesome truck:

Maybe you can get an over-cab gun ring for it . . .

 Same here,,,,,,,,,,,,, cool truck though.

Why in the world would anyone think ma deuce in tn GUN owners? Lol Yeah I probably should have added, and a half......

I didn't have any pics like night. It took six hours to get here and it was too dark... I got some today! With the 54" tires the handle is right above my head level, so about 6'. My 4 year old girl loves it! She wants a pink one.....

I now want to mount a ma deuce over the cab. I'm gonna call it the Double Deuce and drive around dressed like Patrick Swayze!

Did you have a specific reason for buying it, or just because you could?

I've heard to different amounts. A local guy in Knoxville said liability was $100 a year and the guy I bought it from said it was insured at a $13,000 value for $300 a year.

They run on anything combustible. It gets about 10 - 12 mpg on diesel. There's a guy I know with 3 of them. He runs his personal one on used motor oil, year round. I know a couple mechanics with tons of spent motor oil. Waste = free fuel......

I justified as a business promotion. Ill put my logo on it and drive it around from time to time and in parades! Maybe it could be a tngunowners parade vehicle once a am deuce gets attached! It gets attention! I also want to get certified as a first responder and water rescue to go volunteer during natural disasters. I wanna get a John boat as well. I wanted to be ready for the next Hurricane Sandy..... Edited March 18, 2013 by bigbabysweets

We could all OC in nice clothes and smile and wave and shake hands and kiss babies. Cuz you know, it would show the world we are not demons and the grabbers are full of **it.

I forgot in my previous post to say congrats on your new purchase.

[bigbabysweets]

Lol Thanks.

I've always wanted to get some of those hand crank style water guns Dollywood has and a 300 gallon tank in the back and just roll through downtown.... I'm also looking into making ballistic glass for the windshields!

[Murgatroy]

I like it. I have wanted a Deuce and a Half for years.

[Major Kong]

That really is awesome. I need one immediately.

[10-Ring]

I'm looking into one now as well.  Wife is at an adamant NO WAY right now but she will soften up to it eventually.  I too will justify this as business advertising.

[bigbabysweets]

My wife hated the idea. I brought up multi fuel and prepping, she said maybe. Once she climbed inside and we did figure 8s through some parking lots, she doesn't mind. Plus they won't go down in value.

If she hadn't seen /rode in one, you can take her for a ride in mine. That should bring her around...... Lol

[Will H]

I told my wife I wanted one of these to use as an RV.  She actually asked "where would you drive it?"  My reply, of course, was "any damn place we want."  Then she simply said no.

Nice ride.  I want one bobbed.

yeah.. I'd have to say no...you can't beat that 2nd rear axle when it comes time to climb up a hill or through mud. it's like a half track with wheels.
It might look all cute, like a big pickup truck..but a real Deuce and a half is an awesome machine.

Congrats on yours, she's a beauty!

[bigbabysweets]

Thanks!

I seen a couple bobbed already for about 5k. It just seemed to take away from it to me. They said its easier to maneuver and has better gas mileage, but it's just not a deuce. I love the winch on these things. I did think about getting a shop van version and making it a BA camper, still might. If I had a bigger place I'd just have the bed on a platform so I could just back under it and bolt it on, just in case.

[vontar]

I like.

 

enjoy it.
