Let's give Chris a break. If he's been lurking for any length of time he has seen chopped, missing an axle, deuce monster trucks, Cat powered deuces, M37s w/ 2.5 ton axles, fake Tiger tanks etc. All he wants is to change the voltage.
Of course I don't like any of the above....okay, maybe the fake Tiger tank but thats not the point. I remember the many threads about making the deuce faster, quieter, stop quicker. Half the charm of these old trucks is the slowness, the lousy ride, the sound, the wind in your hair (with the top on and windows rolled). I'm constantly amazed that the M35a2 is a 56 year old design and it's still being used in a combat zone. Look at how many vehicles have been designed, built and tested to "replace the deuce". The recent thread on the Chrysler 8 wheel drive truck was one of those.
Someone on our list once said that the deuce was designed to do a lot of things okay. I like that alot.
So to Chris, you should probably leave that Jeep 24 volts or risk a beating. At least a verbal one.
