    Two Deuces one direction??? and im unsure

    As far as looks, they should look the same other then maybe the headlight position. I would start with the best overall truck, then add the better parts of the two to it. Either sell one or keep it as a rolling spare part truck. Does your a1 have the air shift axle, or is it a sprag? I...

    Tech in the Deuce!

    Just get a cheap 24v to 12v converter off ebay. I have 3 that cost me about 10 bucks each. They claim 30amp output. I put two up front, and one in the box of my m109.

    Surco S5050 Roof Rack

    I have one on my Bronco, using gutter mounts and simulated gutter brackets. Not sure on a blazer, but the Bronco has plenty of steel sandwiched in the fiberglass and can support plenty of weight.

    Handful of issues

    Turning on dry pavement with front axle engaged is going to make the wheel shake, grab, bind. Jack up one wheel at a time, grab you tire at top and bottom and try your best to wiggle. Then grab it front and rear, and try to wiggle. Use a helper and have them watch everything for play. If...

    MONGO kept me alive!

    That is a good reminder to me that I need to buy a spare set of blades for my deuce, and another set for my daily driver pickup. I usually keep a spare set in my pickup, but had to replace them while out one day. Its funny how something so simple can make such a huge difference in conditions...

    EUC in 12 Days for M35A3 at Sparta

    You are correct. If you have a blowout, push the accelerator to gain control and keep it straight. After you have control, slowly let off the accelerator.

    Recovery of my fresh Laundry Unit

    That looks like a cool setup. Bring it and about 5 water buffalo trailers to a week long camp trip. This equipment is pretty outdated. Washer uses a lot of water, requires a lot of handling with separate washer/extractor. The stand alone extractors were a bit lacking in safety circuits...

    easy bead breaker

    Man, that is cheating...... I like it. I dismounted 22 and remounted 11 last summer with a tire hammer, after the first few, I figured out the sweet spot with my swing. I only had 2 that had me questioning why I decided to take on the project myself. After a while some soapy water and a...

    Bad fuel from big station

    In the winter, I try to get my fuel from the Kwik Star company that are around my area. They use anti gel and guarantee it. When I fill up outside of Kwik Star areas, I use plenty of Power Service. If a fuel is labeled at Winter Blend, then I would not expect it to gel so easily. I would...

    Winter front alternative
