So I have replaced my hub seals multiple times now, and after about 1000-1500 miles I have gear oil on the inner wheel. I started by replacing just the seals with no luck. Then I went all out and replaced bearings, races and seals. I have tried the procedure in the TM, rustystuds...

Good to hear you got it up there. Even better to hear you are getting rain. Good luck with the new house.

bikeman is correct. The replacement is planned to be AH-64's couppled with UAV's. We have our own thoughts on how it will work, if I am able to make it to the rally I will be more than happy to share my thoughts.

Yep the 58 is being divested and we will be the last to go. Hoping to be around for the show.

OH-58D. The last of them stateside. They will be taken to Davis-Mothan for long term storage.

Ill try to be there. We are supposed to be taking our aircraft to thr boneyard some time in April but don't know when specifically.

Trust me rusty, I've had fantasies about a road flare in the fuel tank many times. As satisfying as that would be for a little while, it wouldnt get me any further down the road. When I get to pulling the hubs back apart I'll ditch thr cork and just use RTV

Jeepsinker- the trip from Alaska was just over 5000. That took June-September. Since getting to Nc I spent a month at JRTC. The rest of the time my daily commute has been around 5 miles. Also looked at my first recorded fill up, and Im at 8980 since then. The original cork plug is still in...

Made a disheartening discovery today. After only about 1000 miles the first hub that I had replaced bearings, races, seals, and all brake components on started to leak again. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. As the bearings wear in will they become looser and need to be tightened to set the...

So I have to say this trip is really what I think of Alaska combined with a Deuce. Makes me want to acquire a cargo when I head back up.

Will probably visit in the spring, but won't move back (or have my Deuce up there) for at least another 2 years. I am hoping that the Army will see fit to send me back up there, but may have to wait until I retire in just under 5 years.

That is an awesome trip. I can't wait to get back to Alaska. When I was driving around up there no one seemed to mind me going slower than the rest. Usually got thumbs up and waves. I did pull over for traffic every time I found a safe place and tried my best not to hold up traffic any more than...

I give mine about 4 clicks on the hand throttle to smooth out the idle while it warms up

Man this sounds awesome. I wish I was going to be free.

I think it looks awesome there. Go with the increased privacy. More protection for rear passengers while driving through rough neighborhoods. You will be saving money because they will prevent any branches from knocking out one of the rear windows. I'm sure I could think of a few more.

That looks awesome. The bows and stakes really add to the look. What kind of paint did you use on it?

I am trying to figure out quantities for each item to do a hardline rebuild on the single circuit brake system. Do these numbers look right? 5/16 EZIBEND TUBE 25 FT COIL -BQT312-25CN- x 1ea 1/4 EZIBEND TUBE 25 FT COIL -BQT250-25CN- x 1ea Gravel Guard, Tubing Armor, Stainless Steel, Natural...

I drove alone, but honestly I wouldn't have wanted to be in that cab much longer than I was. Not a whole lot of leg room to stretch out in. I can get a measurement tomorrow. It would be possible to get three in there, but comfort would be tough.

two things I forgot to mention, mine has a muffler and more importantly it has seats out of a Silverado. Camping gear would be a really good idea even if you intend to stay in hotels. Being prepared to spend the night somewhere makes it a lot more comforting going through those lonely...

I can't wait to see video of "snowzilla" throwing snow this winter.
