The heaviest thing my M211 hauls is a boy scout troop a few times a year

I get the most "usefulness" from my M35 by just driving around the backroads
where I live with my wife beside me, top and windsheild down, going about
10-20 mph. Yes, I do haul stuff on occasions, but for the most part, I use
it like I used to use my dunebuggy - just for the fun of driving it.
If my truck were in worse shape than it is, I would consider setting it up
like the one we're talking about. It would have better acceleration, better
mpg (less weight, less rolling resistance, less mechanical drag), more
manueverablility, and certainly would attract attention.
