M37 Tires in Vietnam

[toptiger]

WC Matt. Yes, I might need to get one. I have always loved the design and functionality. I have heard so many stories about theM-37's bad ride, lack of parts, low top speed etc, but I am sure it is all not true. Kinda like the m151 and the roll over issue, which after the A2 was mostly bs but continues to plague the jeep.
Wayne64, good idea on the separate thread- when you set it up please post the link here.

I cut my "MV teeth" on Dodges so I've always been partial to them. You're right in that a lot of what you've heard about M37s is BS. They tend to "float" over pot holes & dips in the road, parts are still pretty easy to get and their speed is consument with other MVs in that while they're no speed demon, they will get you there and there are after market parts available for the Dodges unlike the good old M151.

I also have to agree with the roll over issue and the M151.That problem largely went away with the introduction of the M151A2 and proper driver training . There were still acidents but I've seen M60 MBTs turned turtle so it goes to show that you can roll anything if you're determined enough. It's kind of like the jamming issues that happened early on in the M16's service. The Gov't was quick to fix the problem but, it's a spectre that has never truly gone away.
