I think I will probably leave the dish out on this one. We have flipped hubs before---- this is actually the first time I have ran dish out on singles. It came out better than expected!

I like them like that I can wait to get a 5 ton this winter I dont know if I will have enough to bobb it right away

Here is the truck I just picked up-

Nice M818, That is my next step, I also have a bobbed deuce, IM FM5332FF on The SS Page

Those things are badass!
I have seen two of them near Glamis and Gordons Well. They had some kind of shipping container that was made into a camper?
I think Iam going to try to convince the wife that we should have one!

What is the average price for one?

Elwenil · 04-26-2009, 08:05 AM

The "container" is probably one of the many different sizes of communications shelters out there, some of which are ISO compliant:

An "average price" is hard to say without knowing exactly what truck model you are looking for as they can vary wildly in price depending on the model, options and region.

0311 Infantry · 04-26-2009, 10:56 AM

What would be the price for the bobbed deuce that the op posted with a winch?
What are the bed spec's for the bobbed?

What would be the going price for the 6x6 with a winch?(100dolloarman's post)

Sorry for all the question but the my father is now on board for checking this out.
thanks

I would be highly interested in buying one if I can save up some money for it! Make an awesome rig to drive/tow/work/play/etc...

That would be the best tow rig.

SVENG52 · 12-08-2011, 03:21 PM

Thats my plan in the future. One way ticket to 100dollarman and drive one back to Ct. Make a two+ week vacation out of it take it slow lol

chudlet · 12-08-2011, 07:52 PM

The Duce is 13K, is that 6 or 4 wheels? Dumb question I guess, but what kind of MPG can you get with it bobbed and what kind of range?

I am guessing there are upgrade mods for the motor, and maybe creature comforts inside?

Please forgive the ignorance, the last military vehicle I drove was a 58,000 ton ship, so I don't know much about these other than they are pretty sweet looking.

I could just throw my Jeep in the back, screw the trailer.

Donny Baker · 02-03-2012, 06:40 AM

Ive always wanted a bobbed deuce with a dump bed to haul wood. Someday..

EricsGreen98Tj · 02-24-2012, 07:19 PM

What are the dimensions of the bobbed beds? Inside dimensions that is...

Wondering if a Jeep would fit in the back.
