I removed some pecan trees that were recent transplants and suffered from a freeze. If at all possible, loosen the trees by pushing on them. I would not recommend using your winch. I used a very heavy chain and would pull in different directions when required. Link to a post is here...

I recently sanded and painted my very worn wood troops seats. My truck is at our local lake all summer and gets quite a few passengers. My record is 25 people and 3 dogs in the back (very slow and just to relocate to see fireworks). I used Behr Premium Semi-gloss, Color 420F -7 Forest Ridge...

In the last few weekends I removed some pecan trees with my Deuce. They died during a freeze shortly after I had transplanted them. I'm replacing them so I could not just cut them down. I would push them first then pull them out of the ground. One with a large root ball gave me some trouble but...

Welcome Alicestar. I purchased my deuce from FMJ in 2010 and couldn't be happier. I will keep my eyes open and send a message if I see anything. Spend time reading on here and you will be well informed at purchase time. I'm in Las Cruces.

I also have plans to build a large building. My thoughts are to measure a large Motorhome and make sure the door will accommodate it. Then in the future, list it as a RV storage building. My 2 cents.

I had 1 pecan tree that was full of pecans. I missed the pecan shaker guys who quit a couple of weeks ago. I decided to improvise. I "bumped" it with my truck. Lined up the front bumper right at the frame, placed a couple of towels on it and began. Did it a few times and got over 40 lbs of...

Yes you can. My buddy took my truck to the lake a day before me last year and got stuck. He was unaware of lowering tire pressure. With the help of a full size truck owner (who now is a SS member and deuce owner) he was able to drive it out. Thanks to all who help. I help anyone I can.

I call mine "The BAT". It stands for "Big A - - Truck".

Chuck, I did remove the plate on the back by the 2 screws and 2 nuts. There is a small "O" ring that I replaced and it stopped the leak immediately. You probably won't see any issues with the current "O" ring but it is the problem. The regular auto stores will NOT have the "O" ring but a...

I also have a flame heater pump issue I have not found the answer to. I have read the TMs and searched all flame heater posts on here. My flame heater pump is dripping through the “weep” hole pictured. It drips when the Accessory switch is on and also when the truck is running. My plan is to...

Dukeman, Welcome. I'm fairly new here and in 2010 purchased my 71 M35A2 for the exact same reason at the exact same lake. I store it there during the summer but drive it often during the rest of the year because it's awesome. I have a 19 ft trailer (goose neck) and I built a custom receiver that...

Among other things, they are a great deterrent to burglary and home invasions.

ZOMBIES!!! (and pulling boats and stuff at the lake).

I keep my insurance and registration in a water-proof bag along with a lot of the tools mentioned above. In case someone evil takes the copies I have in the cab area.

Could be a set-up. DON'T let her pack your parachute!!!!
