here's a car sacrificed by the local vonunteer fire dept. i had to have a go. ended up caving in the roof but forgot to get a good pic.

i drove the duece to my buddies house. i thought i'd just pull off to the side of the road a bit. it had been raining and the whole side of the ditch caved in.:oops: at first all the left tires were in the air and the fuel tank was touching the ground. in the few minutes if took to get the chain...

mine is hung from an old coat hanger i found in the parking lot of the DMV to my left rear light assembly. if the rear lights are turned on you can just barely see that there's somthing under it, and if the tail gate is down you can't see anything. not a great solution by any means but it seems...

yeah, as a corporation GL is wacky and difficult to deal with. :cry: they are a headless jumble opporating under the guise of a master plan. BUT, here in arkanass we have the good fortune of having Sherman on our side. i have nothing but great things to say about this man ! after the two months...

there are metal spring type hood latches you can get instead of the rubber ones for retention. and for quick removal, have you considered "squibs"? they are the small explosive the movies use to start explosions to blow things up. maybe not all that practical, but very impressive if you want the...

what are these wheels for ? they look like they'd fit all kinds of stuff with all those holes. think they'd hook up 53''s on a duece ? 2530 - Vehicular Brake, Steering, Axle, Wheel & Tract Components at Government Liquidation doesn't say anything about the size. what do you guys think ?

does anyone have any oppinions about the mich. ZXLs, or any of the other massive tires ? actuall offroading ability, street noise, out of round-ness ? likes, disslikes ? and how big can the front tires be before you can't turn the truck, when does tire rub start ?

so i checked around a bit and saw that several folks had asked about the GVW twords a rear steer and limitations and such...but has anyone with a bobbed duece actualy done it ? if so did they just hack off the front bit of a frame and weld it to the back, did they get really creative, did they...

my friends and i have had great success in running WVO in all manner of diesle cars. plus if the appacalypse happens who's gonna be looting walmart for all the veggie oil ?
